Ann Nadeau of Auburn designs a vase of roses at Ann’s Flower Shop in Auburn on Valentine’s Day on Tuesday. Shop owner Cheryl McKeone said the busiest day of the year was a bit more crazy because of Monday’s snowstorm. McKeone said her shop was open Monday, but her customers were mainly “snowplow guys.” McKeone said she had 14 people working on Valentine’s Day, nine more than a typical day at the shop. She arrived at 4:30 a.m. and did not expect to leave for home until 7 p.m. Nadeau is retired but comes in “whenever they need me,” she said. “Flowers are in my blood.”
