BTW, I read somewhere to avoid alcohol when you are going to shovel too much snow as it involves too much of workout. Alcohol and too much workout don't go together.

True, just depends on what the definition of too much workout is. It is obviously not smart to be heavily intoxicated (and as a result possibly dehydrated) and engage in any type of a strenuous activity. Apparently drinking and operating heavy machinery do not go together either (only reason I know is because I have seen those stickers on the equipment, haha). Although having a beer or two-ish while doing some lighter shoveling never been an issue in the past.

Shoveling is much more enjoyable when you're 1 or 4 beers in

I totally agree with you.

Anything in moderation is good. Only thing is where to draw the line.

We've been upgraded (or is that downgraded?) to a blizzard warning (it was a watch). Still hearing 18-24".

So the plot thickens, eh? I really hope it's just a complete waste of everyone's time/effort and we do get at least a foot.

I think, at the very least, the 1996 and 2010 (2 in February) snowstorms were considered blizzards.

Hitting the sticks on my Xbox One, drinking some Rum and Vodka, and watching Adult YouTube videos. Eh, I do all that stuff anyway.
