snow shoveling tips
In the midst of heavy winter blizzards, digging yourself out of the drifts can be both an inconvenient chore and a dangerous task linked to fatigue and heart attacks. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind while shoveling snow:
Before heading outside to shovel, do your best to reverse the 40 years of poor health choices that have put you at high risk for getting a heart attack.
Taking a few minutes to stretch before shoveling is a great way to unnecessarily prolong an already unpleasant chore.
Bending from the back can damage your spine; always damage your knees instead.
Prevent snow from sticking to your shovel by coating both sides in a layer of butter.
Throw the snow over whichever shoulder you’d like; no need for superstition.
Pace yourself and take a five-minute break for every 500,000 snowflakes you shovel.
Be sure to wear a frostbite whistle at all times.
Stay hydrated by shoveling every third load of snow directly into your mouth.
As much as possible, try living in a condo building.
If all else fails, pay a real man to do it for you

Lots of folks from up north are moving south to escape the global warming up north. We don't believe in it here in the south.

Down south we like our snow like a stray dog, here today and gone tomorrow.

I plow snow for fishing money. Last year I made 3 grand, so far this is a 1K year. Sure could use a few more 6-8" storms.

Move to Boston, but you have to find an open spot to put the snow...
