Winter Walk Day Walking is great for our health, the environment, reduc-ing traffic and building community!
Tips to keep warm and dry:
Listen for the windchill index with the weather fore-cast. The index likens the way your skin feels to the temperature on a calm day. For example, if the outside temperature is -10°C and the wind chill is -20, it means that your face will feel as cold as it would on a calm day when the temperature is -20°C
Dress in breathable layers to keep warm and avoid overheating
Wear a hat. Most of your body heat is lost through your head.
Wear warm, waterproof boots, roomy enough to allow wiggle room for your toes. https://shapeab.com/winter-walk-day/
