Snow Measuring Stick

Lucas made this adorable snowman snow measuring stick in school last year. I was excited to try it out and I finally got the chance today. We woke up to a winter wonderland outside. Only 2 inches so far, but it is still coming down. Such pretty white stuff, but boy is it cold. This weekend and early next week, it's expected to drop down to below zero. So if you don't hear from me for awhile, assume that I froze to death.

Trying to stay warm...hope to see you soon. (chatter, chatter, chatter...)
Great scarf!

Did you move to Idaho when I wasn't paying attention? It sure sounds like our weather. The measuring stick is wonderful.

Love that measuring stick and wow, it looks so bad there and so cold. Woke to seeing it on the news this morning. It was 63 today and 33 when I woke at 5:30am. No rain, wind, just a beautiful sunny day. Will send you some, Amanda. Great photo and sure speaks for itself. Stay warm and healthy. Hugs!

January 4th, 2014  
@seanoneill Totally should. I already got a request for one above. Love your thinking!

@kjarn Thanks, Kathy. Sending you some cold. Will you send me some hot?

@bobfoto Did you get a sunburn instead? Summer right?

@carolmw Thanks!

@espyetta Great point. I wish we had the supplies to make more.
January 4th, 2014  
I most certainly would if I could.
January 4th, 2014

January 4th, 2014  
@lesip Paint stick was the stick. You know some places would need a yard stick or bigger!! Thanks!
January 4th, 2014  
What a really fun and great shot!!! Such a cute measuring device. One we would not need here! At home we could use a rain measuring device however!!

@amandal - I wear sunscreen when I venture outside. And often a hat.
January 4th, 2014  
@bobfoto Near the equator, I guess. I rarely wear sunscreen unless I will be out for a long while. I got burned to a crisp in Jamaica so I get it.
January 5th, 2014  
Delightful image! Hope this guy doesn't get buried in the days ahead!

I like it!
January 7th, 2014  
@ruthmouch Aw, thanks, Ruth. I was pleased that he made this for us. I so should make a bunch with the kids for gifts and such. I even had someone try to order one above.
January 7th, 2014  
@wendyhgill Nope, no more snow but a dusting. I wonder how much we get max. Thus far, all I know if is 4-6 ". Just right.

@eyesmile @carolmw @rennes @roseolivia @susale @bristolrose @twr @darsphotos

@rvwalker We are still in OH...wretched, wretched cold weather this week. Not much snow. The kids have had 2 days cancelled...they were supposed to start back to school this week. Ready for normalcy! @taffy @lindagene @friend2303 @egad @mzzhope @riverlandphotos @tonydebont @psychographer @soboy5 @paulaw @cathieg @megmills @softbootsailer @dh @maggiemae @pixiemac @shepherdman

Thanks to you all for your sweet comments and faves for Lucas' little craft project. We really could/should make more for gifts and to even sell. I had requests for some above and even an offer to get them made in China and to be millionares by next Christmas...oh the photo gear I could get;-). I appreciate you all.
January 7th, 2014  
I would buy one!

What an adorable snow stick!!! Does he make them to sell ? :) I love everything about it from the jaunty tilt of the hat, the angled face, the turquoise flash, and the great child-writing of the numbers!!!
January 13th, 2014  
@jyokota No, but he should. I had no idea. Kid stuff/crafts are so sweet!!
January 13th, 2014  
@amandal If he ever decides to make some to sell, let me know!
