❤️ Snow is beautiful, but shoveling it can be tough on the heart.❤️

As we dig out from winter storms, let’s keep ourselves and our neighbors safe. The American Heart Association reminds us that cold weather + heavy exertion can increase heart strain. Small choices—like taking breaks, using a smaller shovel, and listening to your body—truly matter.

❤️ Stay warm, stay safe, and check on someone who might need a hand today. ❤️

As we start the clean-up, please be safe!

🥶☃️🚨 Snow Day Safety Alert! 🥶🚨☃️

Snow + Dangerous Cold + Shoveling = CAUTION 🚧

Whether it's the wind chill or air temperature...Extreme cold is dangerous. Take it seriously. Dress in layers, cover all exposed skin, and limit time outdoors. And shoveling is a workout! 💪

Protect your back and heart with these tips: ❤
1. Warm up before you shovel!
2. Use a lightweight shovel.
3. Push, don’t lift!
4. Take breaks & stay hydrated!

Stay safe out there! ✨
