I've been wondering where our good old snowstick went, the copper crane that we use to measure the snow depth. But as the snow melted almost away to nothing last week, there it was, fallen over under the weight of one of those December snowfalls. Luckily we were able to rescue it and stand him up again to continue his work
On Dec. 30th it was standing back up and ready to go, just a little snow around its feet.
The next day virtually all the snow was gone.
On New Year's Day we had a light dusting of snow.
And then winter returned, about a foot of snow, coming down very gently.
Jan. 5th added a couple of inches and we're back to deep snow after our big meltdown. That's winter for you!
Did Snowstick disappear again after that?
ReplyDeleteI assume the elephant shown in the last shot is snowstick. We're due for a big storm this weekend, after the last one missed us, except for making it very very cold.
ReplyDeleteAnother meltdown before long probably…
ReplyDeleteGlad you rescued the crane so you could watch it get covered again. :)
ReplyDeleteBrrr! It sure looks cold standing out there in the snow...
ReplyDeleteYou've had some weird weather thiswinter.
ReplyDeleteThe last couple of winters we haven't had much snow and it looks like this one will be the same. Your snow looks mighty good to me.
ReplyDeleteCrazy! That bird does a great job of measuring the snow.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing how the snow-stick crane is doing.
ReplyDeleteKeep safe and warm.
All the best Jan
As long as snowstick can always be found, count it as a blessing, right?
ReplyDeleteI have a garden crane too, not the same design as yours. I almost feel guilty for leaving him out in the snow.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy you crane. The snow was so deep that you can even see you measuring tool.
