As I am a student at BYU- I. I know a thing or two about snow. I haven't ever fallen in the slushy, icey, or snow covered roads in the Burg(as Leslie would say, "A Christmas miracle!!"). Here are a few things I've learned:
1. Never lock your knees. Keep them slightly bent and walk with higher knees/legs than you normally would
2. Look where you are going!!! Looking down not only helps you see where you are going, but keeps your chin closer to your neck which makes you slightly warmer, and also it prevents snow from getting in your eyes...cold. not fun.
3. Wear boots with tread!! Shoes with out tread is a mistake you will not likely live to make again. Ok, that was a joke, but seriously...
4. Wear gloves. This will prevent you from always having your hands in your pocket so that if you DO slip, you will have better sense of balance.
That's all for this class. There may be a snow tactics 201 later. :D
Don't slip out there, and keep WARM!
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....Rexburg.
