Thank You Snowmen!

As I write this post, we are currently experiencing a Nor'Easter!  Usually I think that's the Maine word  for "loss of power", but so far so good!  We received about 8 inches of snow, are working on 3 inches of ice, shuddering under 50 mph winds, and the lights haven't even flickered!  So I'd like to take this time while I can still see my keyboard to send out a big Thank You to those I call "The Snowmen"!

So who are the snowmen?  Well, I'm not talking about the little guy in my front yard who lost his hat 5 hours ago and is now struggling to hold on to his scarf.  I'm talking about the men and women who, at the first sign of snow, climb up in their big plows and sanders and hit the road. I've watched them go back and forth since seven this morning, fighting a never-ending battle against the blowing snow and trying to put enough sand down to keep the ice at bay. They'll continue to work through the night, just so I can climb in my car and safely head to the office tomorrow.  Their families don't see them much during the snowy season!  So I'd like to say Thank You, to those who work so hard through the nasty weather to keep our roads safe.  And thank you to their families, who sit at home while their loved ones are out on the roads.  You are appreciated!
