This could turn out to be one of our favorite photos of 2014, for several reasons.
First, it's not taken in Bluffton.
Instead, we undertand its expatriate Rick Ramseyer at his home in the state of Maine. The story we understand is that 10 inches of snow plus lots of wind took place earlier this month - in Rick's backyard.
So, here he is attempting to fight a major Nor'Easter. There's lots more to this story, but you must ask Dick or Elfrieda for details.
Merry Christmas, Rick, from all of us at The Icon!
