Oh, Good and Noble Snow Tiki - protect this driveway from those that would plow in its entrance; denying entry to the poor, innocent family that lives here (or, at least, somewhat inconveniencing them).
After our last big snow we got plowed (and not in a good way). This was unfortunate because I had JUST conquered the massive ice dam from the previous plowing and this time it came right before the arctic wind blast. Its like it knew - spooky.
So, we've been rolling our SUV's over the snow for awhile in a game of mini mountaineering. All that pressure packed the snow down so it came up in big chunks. When I saw what was transpiring I did what any reasonable person would do. I stacked them.
Like many artists, I don't think this piece will be fully 'preciated 'til after I'm gone. That's ok because its value is not aesthetic alone. While beautiful, this sculpture also has utility. The mighty Snow Tiki will ward off evil plows. A word of warning: you have to be careful when constructing your own because if you build it wrong it will actually attract snow plows - and that's no good for anybody.
True beauty is fleeting and with warmer temps and sun forecast for the next several days our Tiki surely won't last, but that's ok too because once it falls over the spell of protection is complete.
This driveway is clear.
At least I think that's how it works.
