Belated Valentine

Tim Young Sr. started on a Valentine's Day snow carving Feb. 13, but the bitter cold temperatures made for poor carving and a cold carver. "I've always wanted to do something with Pepé Le Pew," he said, referring to the cartoon skunk known for his ardent pursuit of uninterested female cats. He finished his carving Friday and Saturday, when the temperature got into the 20s, better suited for carving snow. Young said there are future sculptures waiting in his snow block along Freeman Road. Jana Peterson / Pine Knot News
