my kids would have made a snow gauge for our yard. It would be beautifully hand-painted, and show the snow depth to the 8th of an inch. It wouldn't need to show the metric measurements because, of course, my kids could do the conversion in the blink of an eye, barely thinking about it.
But, since I am not a really good homeschool mom, I can only say that we received about 18 inches of snow today, the biggest snow my kids have ever had in their own backyard.
Our lack of a snow gauge isn't stopping us from enjoying it.

WOW...18 inches!!! A really, REALLY good homeschool mom would have had them make snow shoes! ;-)
Sheryl, LOL! You're right!
That's a lotta snow!!! Hope no one has to shovel it.
Our neighbor has a snow blower. She is about 80 years old, a widow. So the deal is, we can use the blower if we take care of her too. Works out pretty well. She usually brings over cookies afterward, too.
I was thinking that about a rain gauge recently! Instead, they just put on all their raingear and went outdoors to get soaked. Jealous of the snow!
