In all the angst and uncertainty that clouds our lives these days, I feel its a good time to give a shout-out to the snow-movers — from the road crews that do their vital work with the biggest of rigs while most of us are sleeping, to those of any age who sport a simple scoop shovel to clear the sidewalk. And everyone in-between. Even the snowcat Operators who leave their marks, literally, every day for the safety and enjoyment of many they’ll never know.

While we all are grateful and giddy for our recent snow accumulations, it’s time to thank all the snow-movers that put it in its place.
