Digging out

When the snow stopped falling, about 5-6 inches accumulated in my driveway, well everywhere else too.  There was a bit of excitement outside this morning.  Our neighbour's aid parked in the street, in front of our house, and the plow truck could not travel along its normal course.  Going around the vehicle, the plow truck drops the plow and rips up part of the street around the sewer drain. If the vehicle was not parked where it was, the street would be fine and there would not have been so much heavy wet sludge-snow at the foot of the driveway and the street. 

After clearing the driveway (and the mess the plow truck left), I built a little snowman under an opening of our front Pine tree. I used bits of the asphalt left scattered in the street for buttons and a face, with tree branch bits found, in the shoved snow, for arms.
