"How to shovel properly" My most epic video search ever. But its important not to stress your back.

A wovel is about $200 cheaper than any small snowblower, and the wovel makes shoveling really easy on the back, also there is no bad oil smell like the snoe blower.

If you can afford a Wovel, you can afford a small snow blower. Better yeat, a plow shovel is a lot cheaper.

If you can afford a Wovel, then you can afford a small snow blower. Plow shovels are a lot cheaper and work in a similar way. The only thing is that if you have heavy wet snow, it would be very hard to just push. A simple steel curved shovel can be used just like a plow shovel, but can also be used like a regular shovel.

There are many other ways to remove snow safely. If you are rich, you can have heating lines installed in drives & walkways which you can activate from inside your home, pay someone else to remove snow or purchase a snow thrower.

For the rest of us, shovel heavy snow falls at intervals as it falls. This only works if the wind is not blowing. If you must leave for work early & have a long driveway, park your car on the street (legally). It is easier & faster to shovel out only your car.
