Snowman In Need Of Help: Photo Of The Day
The holidays are nearly over, and at least one snowman in Alameda is feeling down about it.

ALAMEDA, CA — Is it me, or does the day after a holiday always feel so off?
Especially this year. Many of us had Wednesday and Thursday off for Christmas, but returning to work for one day before a weekend break has me feeling exactly like the snowman in the picture shared by John McNamara.
Although that snowman was probably knocked over by some heavy winds caused by the atmospheric river that moved across the Bay Area this week, or maybe it was the cat in the picture, I like to think the snowman is feeling down about the holiday season being nearly over.

"Trouble on Johnson Avenue," McNamara told Patch. "Actually it was the strong winds, but Pluto (the cat) looks busted."
