As a Vietnam vet, presumably you are, like many of us here, not a spring

heart -- a double whammy, the weight of the snow PLUS the cold air. Be
careful, take it easy. Hire it done if you can't use the tractor. Even
paying one or two hundred bucks is way cheaper than a visit to the
ER...or funeral home.

Yep, Nom vet here. it was what i call heart attack snow. took my time,
took breaks, made it. gotta use your head. sorry some people in the
area didn't. lots of power lines down. i got lucky this time. over the
hill from me, bout 2 miles, they lost 3 transformers. so, guess i
missed the bullet. and, yep, no spring chicken here. on the bad side
of sixty. been trying to retire for the last 2 years. but, i like to
say, doin the best we can. thanks for the concern.

Yeah, you can just keel over from a heat stroke without doing any
shoveling at all. LOL!
