Business opportunity, get a big case of pixie sticks and whip up a few hundred snow cones to sell to kids.
Or, an opportunity for relaxation...stock up on beer and watch the snowflakes peacefully glide to the ground. I have nothing urgent to do this week, so that's my plan...and I'm sticking with it :)

Look for a better snow shovel. Some designs are far superior to others as far as reducing back pains. (But none I've seen have eliminated it.)

Cold front hits Sydney, barely got into the 20's having hit mid 30's early spring, also got some rain. You ain't old enough to start whinging about weather related pain.

The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004

I’m finally learning about these things and just raked our leaves up in preparation. A couple of years ago I was late and the cleanup after the snow melt in spring was messy.

I hurt my back and legs serving in the military, years ago, and almost lost my right arm. My injuries tend to hurt more when removing large amounts of snow. Don't know if it has anything to do with age.

Just bought a new one similar to what you mentioned - ergonomic, and a push shovel which is supposed to help too. Also, looking into replacing my broken snow blower, which is helpful for the larger open areas.

Fair enough. I thought you were claiming the old I know a cold front is coming cause my dickey knee starts playing up card.

How old are the kids? Over ten, hand them the shovel and push them out the door. Under ten, hand them the shovel and supervise.

Why? It will all melt away come July. No need to rush into clearing it.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
