A graphic that shows how to walk on ice. Walk like a penguin with your center of gravity over your front leg, point your feet out, and take short steps.

Waddle you do when the sidewalks are frozen? 🐧 ❄️

The best way to stay upright is to "Walk Like a Penguin":

✅ Bend slightly & keep your knees loose.
✅ Point your feet out slightly.
✅ Take short, shuffling steps.
✅ Keep your center of gravity over your front leg.

Stay safe out there!
