During the aftermath of Buffalo's recent blizzard that delivered lake-effect snow, blustery winds, and biting temperatures as low as minus 25 degrees, members of the NFTA's safety division were reminding employees to navigate the slippery conditions by "walking like a penguin." 

You may ask how exactly does one walk like a penguin?  Well, it's easy, point both feet out, bend forward slightly with arms loose and move slowly.  These practices help support your center of gravity and keep your body steady when walking along ice-covered and slushy areas.  However, it doesn't stop there, remember to wear boots or shoes with traction and take special care when entering and exiting vehicles.  

And, most importantly if you don’t need to go out into hazardous conditions, stay inside where it's warm and cozy until circumstances improve.  Stay safe, we mean it!
