Carol (my Valentine) in the sidewalk snow canyon

We are bracing ourselves, here in Southern Maine, for what they are already calling the Valentine’s Day Blizzard. 18 inches of fresh snow, winds to 50 mph, and temperatures in the single digits (it is -12 as I write this). And this on top of the 60 inches or more of snow, drifted often to much higher, that we already have on the ground. The piles of snow in the parking lots are reaching three stores high. The industrial grade snowblower tractor that makes canyons out of sidewalks finally made it through the snow plies from the drives along our street yesterday, and Carol came out to pose in the gap for scale. Okay, so Carol is not very tall, but it makes the point.

And, since Carol is my Valentine, it makes a perfect pic for today. 🙂
