Boy, I tell you what, if you are shoveling this new heavy stuff, take your time and hydrate a lot. Horror stories are everywhere when storms like this happens, people go out to shovel and never come back.
I'll tell you one:
Four neighbors down from me went out to shovel the driveway, he was elderly and she had Alzheimer's disease. Our mail carrier Jackie found him in the snow bank, so she ran into the house to call 911, the lady couldn't tell Jackie where the phone was so she ran next door and used theirs. The spouse had forgotten he had gone out so she didn't miss him at all. He never made made.
Two things were learned from this: I tell Janice where I am going so she is aware and can check on me once in a while. The other was Jackie, she told me she went out that same day and bought a cell phone, for just in case.
Again, take it easy, rest a lot and keep hydrated.
