During lulls go and do a bit of shoveling, instead of waiting for all the snow to fall, this will save your back and lowers the risk of heart attacks.
Dress in layers, wear a couple of pairs of socks and gloves, and cover your head, you lose body heat rapidly, even if the activity makes you sweat, don’t over strain yourself doing things in a hurry,
Don’t pick up too much snow in your shovel, especially if it is wet or heavy.
Push the snow in front of you and then to the side, don’t throw it over your shoulder
Don’t shovel right after eating, your body is using blood to digest food.
Do not attempt to remove snow on your roof unless it is a single story and you can remove from the ground with a roof rake, if the snow is not wet or heavy, your roof should bear the strain, check if your 2nd story doors are sticking, then call professionals.
