Snow Shoveling Tip

While reading an article on tips for snow shoveling, I noticed they suggested spraying your shovel with a lubricant to keep the snow from sticking. Good idea, but for those of you desiring an option that's not petroleum based: how about some cooking spray or olive oil? Look, I'm no snow shoveling expert but I do remember my days growing up in Michigan. A fresh pile of snow is oh so tempting. Along with being easier on the earth, these are gonna be a lot easier on the taste buds too. Just a thought.
