What to Wear & Road/Lake Tips
Layer up this morning: a thermal base, warm mid-layer, and a wind-resistant shell for those NW gusts to 50 km/h. Add a toque and gloves early; switch to lighter layers by late afternoon when winds ease and sun returns. Choose grippy, waterproof footwear for frosty sidewalks overnight. On the lake, plan conservative routes and extra docking time until late-day calming.
Stay warm and drive smart no matter what the road conditions are.
