Today I had my 2016 go through the following routine - I'd like some feedback on efficacy and repeatability:

 

Take wooden bar with flat rectangular attachment on one end.  Stand straight, then bend at waist.  Propel flat rectangular attachment into 12-18" accumulation of moisture crystals.  Straighten, rotate torso 90 degrees, twist wrists to invert rectangular attachment. Rotate torso back 90 degrees.  Repeat 400 or so times.

I need to add one note to my reply.  Though I do think it's critically important to get the lower half into the shoveling, I do not want to be mistaken for one of these guys who has watched  a  lot of slow-motion video, or bought a DVD and had the revelation that snow shoveling begins at the right knee or the left hip, or whatever.  There is a reason why they call it hand-eye coordination, not hand-hip or hand-knee coordination.  So yeah, let your lower half to the heavy lifting, but don't forget that it's your hands' job to find the snow.

We out west are getting lazy and falling behind, just laying out by the pool.  Sorry, gotta go... my ice tea is getting warm.

They let you drink ice tea?  That must be really nice.  We're in such extreme drought conditions here that we're only allowed to suck on tea bags.
