There will eventually be a year where I'm found lying face down on my partially cleared driveway with a snow shovel in my hand.

It seems that this year will not be the year.

Gotta have goals, I suppose

Careful. Heart attacks whilst shoveling snow is the number one killer during a blizzard. I think like a dozen people died last month in Buffalo.

Take breaks. A cleared driveway is nice but your health is more important.

Great advice. Also, please try to get 30 minutes minimum of cardiovascular exercise a day. Harder to die of shoveling when you’re used to more strenuous activity.

We got 6 feet of snow in New England a few years back. Definitely thought that was gonna be my year.

If its the year I'm thinking, I remember the mayor of boston had to plead with people in a press conference to stop jumping out of windows into the snow.

I'm pissed I had spinal fusion pre covid for no damn reason.

Never thought about it but that would be a nearly ideal way to kick the can.
