OAK HILL, WV (WOAY)- With temperatures as low as 1 degree overnight, this snow will quickly become a sheet of ice.
Even with the holiday tomorrow, people may still have to leave their homes in this weather. Hear’s a few tips to avoid slipping and injuring yourself if you have to go out.
First, wear proper footwear like snow boots. Then when walking please make sure to take your time and watch where you step, take smaller steps while you’re at it. If there are handrails where you are, use them, or if you use a walking stick, cane, or walker don’t be afraid to use them…
If you do happen to fall, don’t use your arms to try and catch yourself as that can cause more injury. It’s recommended to just try to take the hit on your butt or back.
