PROVIDENCE -- We may be getting better at this icy weather stuff -- or just smarter, and opting to play it safe and take public transportation, or go to work later.

This morning, with ice-coated roads and sidewalks making for a treacherous morning commute, area hospitals reported a minimal increase, if any, in the number of residents seeking emergency medical treatment due to ice-related accidents.

Rhode Island Hospital saw the most activity, treating three patients who had fallen on the ice and two hurt in car accidents. Still, a spokeswoman noted, just the other day the hospital had treated 21 people for ice-related injuries.
