actually a wetter snow and packing. and you know, the snow we had before in the past several storms was fluffier but when it comes to this snow there are things to keep in mind. to make sure you don't hurt yourself while shoveling let's look at tips we have put together for you because shoveling can put a strain on your heart especially people with a heart condition. also those middle aged and older they are more at risk of hurting themselves in the snow. you want to be careful when shoveling to day. two minutes of shoveling can boost your heart rate. think of it as physical exercise. don't over do it. take frequent breaks if you have to go back inside and eat the rest later. all that food can put an extra load on your heart. use a small shovel. when you are dealing with wet snow, packing a big shovel with lots of snow really gets your heart rate up and it can do

damage so just take it easy you know take your time, scoop up little amounts and dump it in front of you also another thing you see some people shoveling and they will dump the snow over their shoulder or throw it to the side don't do that because that twisting motion can hurt your back. so just some helpful things to keep in mind so you don't get hurt again it is a wet snow, minisnow man, pizza snow man i hope you enjoyed that. you just want to be careful out there. back to you. >> thanks just a reminder delays are at the bottom of your screen. in other news an amazing rescue more than 100 feet above the inner harbour. really scary scene as a window washer on a motorized chair got stuck and dangled outside a harbour east highrise. a rescue team was able to open up a window one floor above him and pull him out. took 20 minutes he is doing well this morning. >> a scathing assessment of

like i couldn't catch my breath. i couldn't believe i was actually having a heart attack. i remember being at the hospital, thinking about my wife. i should have done more to take care of myself. now i'm exercising, watching my diet, and i trust my heart to lipitor. (announcer) unlike some other cholesterol lowering medications, lipitor is fda approved to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and certain kinds of heart surgeries in patients with several common risk factors or heart disease. lipitor is backed by over 17 years of research. lipitor is not for everyone, including people with liver problems and women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you are taking other medications or if you have any muscle pain or weakness. this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect.

i'll never forget what i went through. don't take your health for granted. (announcer) have a heart to heart with your doctor about your risk. and about lipitor.
