What to wear & road tips
Layer up: thermal base, insulating mid-layer, wind-resistant jacket, toque and insulated gloves. Choose grippy, waterproof boots—there’ll be black ice and slippery spots in places. Drivers: expect crosswinds on exposed routes today and a refreeze as areas with salt may have melted during the day and will refreeze tonight; leave extra stopping room.
