a snow-shoveling tip from Mrs. Venation
Spray WD-40 on the shovel blade. It keeps the snow from sticking, so that each time you toss the snow off, all of it actually flies off. For each dig, you have a perfectly clean shovel.

1. Another great use for WD-40. Thanks.
If I hopefully ever live someplace with snow again, I'm going to remember that!
