Snow

Thursday the Chicago area received our first serious snow this winter thanks to Winter Storm Nemo.  About 8 inches (20 cm) fell where I work.  Saturday morning I passed this in front of an electronics manufacturer: 


The snowman is built around the trunk of the tree and is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall.


Insulated wiring is the hair.  The eyes, nose, mouth and buttons look like some kind of parts for what they make.  The belt is strapping tape.  The shiny red heart is a wonderful touch.  Unfortunately, it's raining today.  Bye bye, snowman. 

The same storm dumped more than 2 feet of snow on New England Friday and Saturday.  Here is my friend Laurie's  view of the storm from Massachusetts.

LOVE the snowman!!!! Sadly, the New England version of Nemo was fairly dry and not snowball worthy, so we have no snowmen. Hmmm.. wonder if I could photoshop your pic, into one of my pics?? :-0

It's sad to get that much snow and not be able to build snow people and snow forts!
