Good Morning #Canada
I looked forward to living in a beach community in my #Retirement but unfortunately it's in Ontario. We received a little less than 15cm of snow yesterday, which I have to deal with this morning, and another 25 - 30cm is forecasted for tomorrow. I love winter.
Did you know that every year a few dozen people die from shoveling snow - the vast majority are men over 50. A Canadian study found that the chance of heart attack after a snowfall increased among men but not among women. I've used that factoid with my wife with zero effect. A heavy snowfall, 20cm or more, increased the risk with 16% higher odds of men being admitted to the hospital with a heart attack, and a 34% increase in dying from a heart attack. Just 2 minutes of snow shoveling can push your heart to 85% of your maximal heart rate. Back and shoulder injuries can make up 30% of emergency room visits within 48 hours of a major snowfall.
Be careful out there.
