Shoveling Out

A northeast blizzard dumped up to three feet of snow overnight Friday and brought hurricane-force wind gusts to areas between New York and Maine.
The storm, dubbed “Nemo” by The Weather Channel, triggered evacuations along the Massachusetts coast and left hundreds of thousands without power. In this shot, Steve Hull digs his car out from a snowdrift in Portland, Maine, on Saturday. (Read: What is a Blizzard, Anyway?)

I would love to see the National Geographic society explain to the world what Nature is really trying to tell us with all these storms and crises ....
They're not piling up snow in this picture, they are working with salt. Probably prior to loading it into the salt trucks.
