What to Wear & Road Tips

Go with layers: thermal base, warm mid-layer, and a wind-resistant jacket. Add a toque and insulated gloves for the morning chill. Lace up waterproof, grippy boots—they matter if freezing rain shows up late tonight or early Wednesday. Drivers: slow down for black ice on bridges and shaded hills; leave extra room, and clear all windows fully.
