Charlie is a neighbour of ours and, unlike us, owns a big snowblower. Today we got another fifteen cm of snow. And after Charlie finished snowblowing his own driveway, he came across the street and did the front part of mine. For those who don't know snow, the front part is where the snowploughs deposit the very heavy snow off the road, snow that is particularly hard to take away by hand. So I was very grateful to him.

When he left mine, he went to another neighbour's driveway and blew away the worst of their ploughed-in snow. Good guy.
