The harder you rake the warmer you get. Cure for cold in winter work is to actually just keep working. Obviously you aren’t staying warm in 2 degree weather doing manual labor, but the point stands. Shoveling my sidewalk after a heavy snow, I get all the way down to just a hoodie.
It was basically dad’s way of saying quit being a pussy and get the job done. You’re cold? Rake more, you’ll warm up.
I regret that I have but one upvote to give
