Snow blowers

We've had several more days of snow since Saturday. The blue sky hasn't reappeared. But, I thought of something else I enjoy about snow--how fun it is when everyone in the neighborhood comes out to clear their driveways at the same time.
Since I live on a cul de sac, there are only seven houses. This afternoon just before dark, the snow that had been falling all day stopped. Tommy and three neighbors were out with snow blowers blaring.
I don't know why this intrigues me. Maybe it has something to do with knowing everyone is alright after being cooped up in the house for hours (or days depending on the storm). Or maybe it reinforces that sense of "neighborliness" when one person takes care of the sidewalk in front of several homes because he or she finished the driveway before everyone else. Or maybe it's just fun to see several plumes of snow shooting into the yards.

Hi Dad! Is that you behind that plume?
