Yes, winter weather is always a challenge and brings many headaches. In 2023, I slipped on black ice but was fortunate enough to grab a railing without injury.
Winter weather can create hazardous conditions that significantly impact road safety and increase the risk of accidents, and the threat is not over yet.
