You are are right. It was and still is routine. I grew in the U.P. of Michigan...200-300" of snow each winter. The people that died of heart attacks shoveling had other risk factors such as folks that are obese, those that have had previous heart attacks or those who suffer from any type of heart or vascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol.
