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?

Because it’s probably the most exercise you’ve gotten all year.
The cold dry air can also irritate your lungs and make it a bit harder to breathe which leads to an increased heart rate and a higher chance of dislodging a blood clot so it goes to your heart and causes a heart attack.
