It is unavoidable – the snow is here. What can be avoided is having a heart attack while trying to remove snow from driveways and sidewalks.
Here are some Snow Shoveling Tips:
Know your snow: It is important to take the type of snow you will be shoveling into consideration. Wet snow is much heavier than the light, fluffy flakes. If the snow is heavier, take it slower and work in layers.
Work in layers: Pace yourself. If the snow is deep and wet, cut into it with your shovel, taking away layers at a time. This is easier than scooping directly from the ground and lifting excessively.
Pay attention to how you feel: Monitor how you feel before, during, and after shoveling.
