Mike Nolan.HAHAHA! My husband bought one just like that last summer, and put it up on our deck. I made him take it down because it's ugly! And in my face every time I go onto the deck! I have a cute little green frog that holds a test tube and does the same job!
The snow began here around 9 a.m. Scott drove me to the farmers market so that I could buy salad greens and two dozen eggs. It continued to snow. Scott said we had had about 4 inches when he last shoveled, and he estimates that we have had at least another inch, and it is still snowing.
Fun fact: The guy who came up with that rain gauge idea has made over a million dollars from his patent.
I'm happy for him! If one really needs to be able to read the rain/water measurements from a distance, it's a great tool. But my deck is my place of peace, and after a good rain, when I go out the door, the first thing I do is check the rain gauge. And my little frog and test tube make me happy!
We got a couple inches of snow over the weekend and another inch so far today. My brother (near Dubuque) says he got around 8 inches and 4 more expected.
The snow has chased some mice indoors, Jack proudly brought us a mousetrap with a mouse in it last night and another one this morning.
Jack is earning his keep--with a little help from technology!
We are supposed to have more snow, but light, overnight. Our county did a lousy job on our stretch of the road, and people did too much driving on it on Sunday and packed it down, but the state highway is in good shape.
I woke up to snow today, it isn't that much, just an inch or so. I guess I should go out and shovel sometime and brush off my car.
We got about 8 inches over the weekend and maybe another inch or so overnight. Keeping up with it so far. This is too early though, it might be a snowy winter.
We got another three inches of snow overnight from Monday into Tuesday. That snow is not the problem; it's the ice layer that developed underneath from the storm from Saturday into Sunday. We are getting a taste of real winter, which we have not had for a few years.
It keeps flirting with above-freezing temperatures and we had some bright sun today, but tomorrow night the expected low is 1.
