The big storm missed us. What was supposed to be 18 plus inches of snow turned into less than an inch. I guess South Dakota and Iowa got our share of moisture.
Here is the snow stick. It measures 9 inches.
We will have a snow stick contest. Leave your guess. What day will the snow stick be free of snow? I have a green Smoky Bear ruler someplace..when it is free of snow by the stick I will declare a winner. The snow stick is in a different spot this year. I will leave the guessing open until March 03 Midnight, at that time I will add all the guesses to the bottom of this post. Last year the snow left the snow stick on April 8th.
Ahh..what would the winner like? How about a carving? A Far Side original? Yes I am sure I can come up with a few little bark houses..I have several in the works at the moment. It will give me an incentive to finish them up:)

Here I thought you were buried in snow. You can never trust a weatherman to get a prediction correct. Hopefully you won't get much more snow this winter. My snow stick guess is March 21.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is March 29th. My hubby's birthday - I would love to give him one of your bark houses as a gift.

i couldn't even begin to guess. Most of the snow here in Southeastern WI is gone. And to top that I have seen six robins already plus the red-winged blackbirds have returned. Crazy winter!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess it'll be gone by March 18th. Ours is only about 3 inches deep and they're calling for a Chinook on the weekend so maybe this will be it for us although I really doubt it.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking March 21st. Heard rumors from our neighbors that there is 20+ inches of new snowfall at our cottage. Be thankful it missed you guys.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Chance thinking? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess March 31st! :)
Ah, beware the Ides of March, for surely the grass will show.
ReplyDeleteThe sun will be out, the birdies will sing and the grass will begin to grow.
The bees will buzz, the flies will hum and it will be time to mow!
But Mother Nature is a fickle one, and will later make it snow!
So....I do want a carving!! I crave a carving!
My guess - March 15!
We had a storm but it was a thunderstorm no snow here and spring like already !Rain and sun so far these days . I think maybe the snow will be gone there lets say by March 20th first official day of spring ! Have a good day !
DeleteMarch 26th will be a great day for you to go green. I bet I am way off but I feel like gambling today. We are going to lose our snow again this week or next.
ReplyDeleteI wondered it you had your Snow Stick planted this winter. My guess is April 15th because I think you're going to get at least two more storms with measurable snow.
ReplyDeleteMarch 29th!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm gonna guess March 26th although the long range for cast is predictin' more snow the 29~30th. 'Just sayin'....
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your contest...I always do!
God bless and have a terrific Thursday sweetie!!!
I heard you guys were going to get a lot of snow.
ReplyDeleteLuckily for us, we had five sunny day in NY.
I think you are going to get warm weather and spring will hit you soon...snow should be gone by ...hhh...mmm...March 15...
ReplyDeleteI see someone already guessed March 15...she's probably correct...I'll go with March 14 ...
ReplyDeleteHey Far Side .
DeleteI just want to remind you that Google Friend Connect is disappering, no following anyone with it and no one can follow you either . Hundreds of bloggers are and have including myself have hooked up to a Linky follower that lets us keep track of our followers and vise versa !http://www.linkytoolsblog.com/ I am hosting a Linky Blog Hop and would love for you to join so that we all can keep up with so many wonderful blogs ! Have a great day !
Country Gal, I am not interested in joining anything else..Thanks anyway:)
DeleteOnly non blogspot blogs are affected by the Google Friend Connect change anyway..wordpress and typepad users will be hit the hardest. Blogspot people will be just fine:)
DeleteI would say the snow would disappear on Mar 30 about 4 PM.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for March 24. Yup that's it for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteMay 1st. Gonna be a late spring storm. I might be a week or two early!
DeleteI read every post but am sorry to say I don't even know where you are. But just a wild guess on the off chance of winning something pretty...April 3.
ReplyDeleterkbsnana, Central Minnesota...more Northern than Central..but close enough:)
DeleteSo Dirt is saying earlier than last year but not by much, he figures you need to get some more snow in before it starts goin' away, (is a law of averages fellow) And so we will say April 2. At first he said "by June" but I wouldn't want to say that out loud so as to not distress you.
ReplyDeleteWell Lanny thanks for not distressing me! I am sure we will get more snow..if not it is going to be a bad wildfire season:(
DeleteApril 7
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess Dave's birthday April 9th. If I should win then he'd get a gift. LOL He keeps missing Easter. Ann
ReplyDeleteI guess march 23rd. Snowing in Duluth right now.
ReplyDeleteGravy
I'm guessing April 1....APpril Fool's Day as the weather has pretty much fooled around with all of us this Winter! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have to guess my birthday--March 28th. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm only going to guess that winter isn't done with you yet.. and you may be fooled on april 1st -- and have several days. Okay... I'm guessing April 11
ReplyDeleteOk it is March 6th Guessing is officially closed..may the best guesser win! :)
