Its gonna Snow!…
Posted on February 10, 2012
I know snow is a four letter word to some of us! But it is predicted for Saturday. It is supposed to be a wet snow but not super heavy. Please remember to take care of your back while shoveling this weekend. Follow these tips:
- Take a small shovel full
- Keep the full shovel close to your body
- Squat down and lift with your thighs…don’t bend over and use your back muscles
- Dress warm and keep exposed skin covered
- Take rest periods if needed. Don’t over exert yourself
- Watch for ice hidden under the fresh snow
- Use common sense
- Wear boots – appropriate foot wear
- Watch for oncoming traffic on your street as you clean the end of your driveway
Don’t forget to enjoy the rest of your weekend!
