Clearing snow is an art form. At Snow Scholars we are the picasso of snow removal. What is the correct way to effectively clear snow?
Best Practices
Clear edge to edge
Make sure to get under any ice layers
If snow is melting, make sure to clear it before it begins to freeze
For the best shoveling posture:
Keep the back straight at all times.
Lead with the hips, not the lower back
push the chest out, pointing forward
bend the knees and lift with the leg muscles
Keep the feet hip-width apart for improved control
Avoid getting sore by:
Lifting the appropriate weight for you
Insert shovel vertically into snow, step on blade and lift small amounts
For the most effective pattern:
Make a path down the middle of the driveway. Then, starting on one side, push the snow from the center to the outside
If you sharpen your shovels, sharpen them at a 45° angle
