Walking in Washington
Washington has real winters: below about 20°F short-coated and small dogs need a coat and shorter walks, and road salt should be rinsed off paws. Summer afternoons still get hot enough to watch the pavement.
How the score works
We start at 100 and take points off for heat, cold, rain, wind and strong UV. Big dogs lose more points in the heat, small dogs in the cold. Pavement temperature is our estimate from air temperature, sunshine and cloud. The seven-second test: if you cannot hold the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds, it is too hot for paws.
