Shoveling snow can be a chore.
Especially when it is very cold you want to deal with it quickly.
You should know the following tips.
As beautiful as the white winter landscape * is, streets and sidewalks must be cleared.
Nobody really likes doing this arduous work.
But there are tricks to deal
with the snow masses
efficiently and with little effort
.
The right snow shovel is essential
The right snow shovel depends on the material and the strength of the person shoveling the snow.
Shovels made of wood are robust and do not break through as easily, but they are also heavier in the hand.
Aluminum models are lighter, but also more prone to break.
The plastic version is very soft and can also fail if there is too much snow.
It is important to try out the different models when buying them.
The rule here is:
the more stable, the better
.
In order not to get into a size battle with the
shovel
handle, you should ideally check the handle before buying.
Here it is important to make sure that it is
not much larger or smaller than your own height
.
This also makes the shovel easier to handle overall.

Shoveling snow with plan and warm clothes
It is best to think in advance where you want to shovel the snow.
So the work doesn't have to be done twice and three times.
Above all, make sure that the
entrances to cars and sidewalks are free
and that no mountains of snow form there.
To make it easy for yourself, shovel the snow as quickly as possible.
Especially when it is still fresh on the floor and has not yet been trodden down, it can simply be shoved.
In order to protect the cleared road from slipperiness, it is advisable to then sprinkle with sand or grit.

It is very important to dress warmly.
It can be assumed that you will stay in the cold for a while to remove the snow masses.
It is therefore advisable to wear gloves, a hat, a scarf and a thick jacket.
It can quickly happen that you fall into a bad posture and thus put a lot of strain on your back.
Therefore, make
sure that your back is straight and shovel the snow with as little effort as possible - i.e. not in a high arc over the fence, but better right next to the cleared path.
