Los Angeles, California and the home of film and TV. But when an earthquake strikes only one show gets it right. Can you spot which one it is? A great resource to use for a plenary to check to see if students have learned what is the most appropriat…

SNOWARE

If you have to be in snow and then go into a building....NEOS are the solution. New England OverShoe.

They slip over shoes and can be removed whengoing into buildings (remember galoshes?)

What is the best Footwear for snow and ice?

Snow and freezing cold temperatures have brought treacherous conditions for many walking (see this news report). So my question to all of you is: What is the best footwear for these conditions? Working in a school children are wearing trainers, 'Ugg' boots (which seem to have no slip resistance and are suede!) and a variety of footwear without any real grip. Any advice is useful...please post a reply here!


Thanks
