That is true. They do. We have four here at home, so shoveling is no big deal. I am pretty fit and thankfully don't get that much snow, but, our neighbor loves snow blowing and does a bunch of houses here, while the rest of us do porches, vehicles, and the hot chocolate/snack brigade. When it snows in the Washington, DC area, they close it down and as everyone is a government worker, everyone is off. :) Indeed, the wet, heavy stuff is always a cardiac threat that many people don't take seriously. You don't have to be 50 - it easily strikes younger people.
It's a win!
