What types of smoothness are there?

There are different types of smoothness. This includes slippery snow caused by snow on roads or sidewalks. If not cleared or spread adequately, a slippery layer can form on the ground, which can make walking and driving difficult. Freezing wetness occurs when rain or sleet hits the ground and freezes before it can drain away. This creates a thin layer of ice. If we have an icy layer on the road that is not consistently visible, this is referred to as large-scale icy conditions. This happens when the road is damp and freezes quickly, or when the road becomes slippery due to melting snow and freezing moisture. There is also freezing rain, which occurs when rain freezes in a cold layer in the atmosphere before reaching the ground. When frozen rain hits the ground, it forms a thin layer of ice that can be very slippery.

How can you protect yourself from slipperiness?

  • Sprinkle: Sprinkle salt, grit or sand on sidewalks and driveways to avoid a slippery layer.
  • Drive carefully: Avoid driving on slippery roads. If you are traveling by car, avoid high speeds and sharp braking.
  • Winter tires: Before driving, make sure your car is equipped with winter tires.
  • Appropriate Footwear: Wear appropriate footwear with non-slip soles to avoid slipping on slippery sidewalks.
