Electric snow shovels are essentially very small snowblowers that can push light snow up to 20 feet away. The operator simply pushes the shovel along while an internal motor blows snow out the side.

I suppose it is really a matter of your opinion. If more snow is coming, I would shovel to decrease the amount of work later, but if it is just one inch, and nothing else, probably not.


Use A Snow Shovel For More Than Snow?

If you have a snow shovel lying around for winter use, you can actually get far more out of it than simply clearing your snowy driveway and sidewalk in the winter. Use a snow shovel with a curve to clean up flooded water in your basement or garage after it rains. A snow shovel is also great for breaking up ice in the winter, and when you have an oil spill in your garage a snow shovel can shovel up something absorbent like cat litter used to clean up the oil.


Should you shovel snow if freezing rain expected?

How do you keep snow from sticking to a shovel?

Many ways. You can per treat by rubbing a candle on the shovel. be sure it is clean before you do this. Or you can apply a couple of coats of car polish to the shovel blade front and back. OR try a pan coating spray or spray with wd 40. Before you shovel the snow, be sure it is outside and not in a warm environment. All of these ideas work so try each and stay with what works best for you. oh yes, bend the knees, dig in, then lift. don't mess up your back.
