It's a funny thing how something like snow can bring people together.
Having to shovel snow is an easy thing to commiserate about.
It's also a good excuse to do something good -- like how Tri City Boxing's Angelita Rodriguez and A'shun Robbins helped clean snow as a community service project for Tri-City H.O.P.E.
Shep, the friendly neighborhood boogieman/snow monster, helped clear driveways for free after the storm.
Just don't draw thank him for it or he'll come back and put more snow on your driveway than he took off.
