The Department of Health released some important tips to help Pennsylvanians stay safe in the aftermath of the historic winter storm, specifically while removing snow in cold temperatures. 

 

They say to dress warmly and work slowly and consider shoveling in shifts instead of all at once. They say to take breaks and drink water to prevent dehydration.

 

Pushing snow instead of lifting it will help prevent injury. Plus, avoid twisting motions that can stress your back.

 

If using a snow-blower, stay aware of others who may be near-by.
