TIL I was shoveling my driveway wrong for 3 winters in Manchester

So a neighbor in Manchester watched me shovel for 20 minutes yesterday and finally walked over to say something. Turns out I was lifting every scoop and throwing it, which is why my back killed me every storm and the plow guy kept giving me weird looks. He showed me to just push it like a plow blade and only lift at the very edges. I tried it on my next pass and finished half the driveway in 10 minutes when it used to be 40. Anybody else here learn a basic NH winter trick from a neighbor way too late?

Same deal in Concord, pushing instead of lifting saved my back big time.
