Clearing the driveway
Snow shoveling is the task of clearing snow from walkways, driveways, and other surfaces using a shovel.
It's a routine winter chore in snowy climates, often required by local ordinances for sidewalks.
The work is physically demanding—doctors regularly warn about heart attack risk during heavy snowfalls: I threw out my back snow shoveling.
