I’ve always heard/been told to be careful while shoveling snow, that you’re more likely to have a heart attack. Why would I be more likely then as opposed to exerting myself during normal temperatures?

Usually it is in the morning when heart attack risk is highest. This is usually among the elderly and unfit. Also, because it’s cold outside, there’s also a vasoconstriction effect (narrower blood vessels) It’s heavy exertion for which people aren’t fit to handle basically, at the worst time, and under awful weather conditions. Just keep fit year-round and keep active, you’ll live better and live longer.
