It seems over the last week some of us have experienced even more snow so who knows with the British weather what is around the corner?!! If you are one of those who have been getting some February snow and if you do not already have one, you should consider getting a snow shovel in your boot before you get caught out again! With the severe Winter weather we had last year I decided to take more precautions when travelling by car. Each year we all act as though it is a big surprise that the cold weather and snow is here again, but it seems to be becoming a regular event.
Snow can be nice but it can also cause a lot of problems you in your driveway. So there may be times when you need to get out and shovel snow. This blog will guide you how to shovel snow properly.
My shovel became a very useful boot item during those snowy conditions! Why not put my garden shovel in the boot when it snows you may be asking yourself? Because the telescopic handled shovels means that size is no longer an issue, and the Compact Double Grip Strong Shovel with Telescopic Handle is designed for easy use and easy storage and so ideal to keep in the car boot & caravan etc. It is strong, robust & lightweight, with a practical size of 97cm long when fully extended and only 77cm when collapsed. It also has an advantage over a general garden shovel in that the blade is not rigid metal (which if you have ever tried to shift snow with an ordinary shovel you will know can be very hard work), but the blade is flexible and gets ‘under’ the snow, making it easier and more efficient.
It became invaluable when trying to get on and off my drive – and that’s before even leaving the house! So make sure you are prepared! You may find like I did that this is the most important item to have in your car! Do not get caught out ever again!
According to the Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health, just 15 minutes of snow shoveling counts as moderate physical activity! And seeing as how the optimum stay-in-goal for aerobic activity is 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least 3 times a week - then shoveling snow certainly fits the bill!
If you're serious about shovelling snow, don't even look at snow shovels that have anything other than a wood handle. A good hardwood handle will give you long years of service. Anything else is going to snap on you in no time flat.
If you still like to clear your own snow manually, or do not have much to clear but want to give your arms and back a break, you can try these ergonomically designed snow shovels that clear a 20 inch path, and do not need any electricity. These will run about 30 dollars. The design of the handle makes them easier to use and to pick up the snow.
p.s. this shovel is not only for moving snow, it is great at all the other garden jobs you would use a general garden shovel for!!
