Travel: Walking on Ice
Avoid slipping by walking like a penguin.
Fact: About 60 people die each year in the US as a result of slipping on ice. This is about as many that will die from a tornado.

THIS DOES WORK.
Trust the Canadian who walks like this from December to March. It may look mildly goofy, but in winter everybody already does (bobble hats with hockey team logos on!), and it’s really nice to not have to worry so much about falling on your arse.
I won’t lie. I don’t even walk on ice anymore. I’ve resorted to the skate shuffle. My feet don’t even leave the ground. Far more embarassing, but I’ve only slipped once this year, and that was getting out of a truck on black ice.
