  1. Buy a good shovel for snow-pushing.

   1. Stay tuned to the local weather channels for weather warnings -- remember, frostbite doesn't take long to happen in subzero weather.
   2. Shovelling is really great exercise, but for very deep snow or to make a path through the snowplough's trail you need a blower.
