Shoveling snow

A couple of days ago we awoke to some snow on the ground. Not a whole lot, but just enough to have to go out and shovel. So after getting all bundled up to go “dig out”, I realized some things that could have saved me some time.

1. Wear your clothes in layers so you can pull them off as you start to sweat.
2. Make sure you use the right shovel, snow can get very heavy so go a little at a time and save your back.
3. Don't twist and turn with a whole mountain of snow on your shovel, you'll regret it after awhile.
4. Use your legs to lift and not just your back, you'll feel better later on.

I don't mind shoveling snow as it is nice to be outside in any weather, but you have to be safe and mindful of what you are doing, you don't need to wreck your back or have a heart attack as that would really suck. Take your time and you'll be alright.
