Introduction
Shoveling snow is a fact of life in colder parts of the world. So grab your snow shovel and follow these steps to make sure your driveway and walking areas are safe in any weather.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You'll Need
Waterproof Mittens
Wool Scarves
Snow Shovels
Steps
1 Step One
Make sure you have a good snow shovel. Most snow shovels have open ends that allow you to easily toss the snow off to the side.
2 Step Two
Consider your physical condition. If you are out of shape you should proceed with caution. Snow is heavy and shoveling is hard work - you don't want to risk a serious injury or jeopardize your health. If you have a heart condition or back problems, you should definitely not shovel snow unless your doctor approves it.
3 Step Three
Remove the snow from the driveway and any walkways needed to get into and out of the house. Don't forget the areas around the mailbox, garbage cans and other places you'll want access to.
4 Step Four
Work toward the areas where you are depositing the snow so that you have less distance to toss it as you tire.
5 Step Five
Chip away any ice that you find under the snow and remove the chunks with the shovel.
6 Step Six
Spread rock salt over the cleared area to avoid icing.
7 Step Seven
Sand any areas that remain slippery.
Tips & Warnings
Dress in layers for warmth. You can remove layers as you become warm from the exertion.
Pay close attention to the weather. Extremely cold temperatures can be a serious health hazard. If you begin to feel the effects of the cold, stop and go inside for a while.
Every year a large number of people have heart attacks or other health problems from overexertion while shoveling snow. Don't overdo it - especially if you are normally sedentary or already have a pre-existing condition.

I would love to; I like shoveling. We've had a couple of shoveling episodes so far here in Minnesota. I don't have time to come over to Maine at present, though, because it's the end of the semester & I'm graduating so I can't screw it up when I've come so far. Good luck!

Wow!!! I haven't done that since I was 12!
I live in Puerto Rico now and there is no snow here.
I will gladly help you shovel the snow!
. . . But, can we have a snow ball fight afterward? =-)

I am going to be too busy decorating for my birthday party, mopping my kitchen floor, doing laundry && shovelling my own walkway before it all starts up at 3! :D
