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.
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.
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.
