Contrasts

This is our front yard a couple days ago. Looking better. Streets were in really nice shape. Our city workers had worked really hard to get all the slush off of them (because slush freezes overnight and it's really hard to drive on it then) and things were looking up.

This is the view this morning. If you click to embiggen you'll see the size of the drift at the end of the driveway.

And actually the snow truck got momentarily stuck at the far end of the street as he turned a corner. I think he enjoys his job though. He's about 20 years old and gets to speed up and down the streets with the snow plow truck and hit those drifts full speed ahead. Most guys that age love that kind of thing. Around here at least!

The snow in the front is a bit distressing just because we are tired of snow and we really don't need this. And it's only going to add to all the flooding that happens in our area almost every spring. But look at what we found when we looked out the patio doors this morning...

A snow wall yes. But snow sculpture too.

What the right direction and right speed wind can do with some snow is pretty amazing.

Snow waves!

Cool, isn't it?
