Our current snow is pretty wet and slushy—heavy stuff! If you're planning to shovel, please take a moment to check out our safety guidance first. Wet snow is much tougher on the body, so a few smart precautions can help you avoid strain or injury.
Quick reminders for handling heavy, wet snow:
Push more than lift whenever possible (it's way easier on your back).
Use proper form: bend at the knees, keep loads small, and avoid twisting.
Pace yourself—take frequent breaks, especially with this denser snow.
Warm up first with some light stretches.
Stay safe out there! ❄️
