Opened the curtains this mng just after 7am to about 4/5" of the white stuff. As we gazed upon the undisturbed panorama, we became aware of someone shovelling snow. Nothing unusual in that - but he was using a snow shovel and clearing the gutter on the opposite side of the road, gradually working his way along the road. The snow he was clearing being thrown on people's gardens and across their drives.
We watched as he passed ............ something was strange.
A few minutes later he was back reversing his route and as he passed under the lamp opposite the penny dropped. He was wearing just a fleece type jacket, heavy boots and ............ bathing trunks!!! Oh - and of course he had his snow shovel with him too.
I'm keeping my camera handy in the future, just in case!
If only I'd had my camera handy!!

We had two early morning shovels but not dressed like yours 
ours were gather the snow in a wheelbarrow and taking to their garden 
when we looked out of the back window they were building a igloo.
