Snowstick Contest

It is that time of year again.

The snowstick is at 14 inches...when will it be free of ice and snow?   See that ridge of snow...it came off the roof and almost made it to the snowstick!

Leave me your guess...   just a date will do.  The winner will get something in the mail.   Not sure what yet but it will be worthy of a good guess!  I will accept guesses until Sunday evening at 9 PM.   Those shy people can email me with their guess.

I worked on some bark carvings last Fall and had some carvings almost ready to paint and I put them someplace safe...can't remember where that safe place was...but I shall be looking for it.

April 11th!

You know, I'm always putting things in a "safe place" and then forgetting where they are!

No guess for me. Just stopping by to say hi. I'm catching up on a few blogs. Not on spring break yet, so my sick time with my cold was sick time from work. Turns out I should probably be tested for Alpha 1 because it tends to be the cause for the other genetic fun I've been having for a long time. I don't see any grass in your photo. I have snow on my lawn, but I see more lawn than show... except for the plow piles.

Maebeme said...

It depends on how much snow you get in the meantime...we're expecting snow this weekend and you seem to get our weather a couple of days later. Hmmm...I'll go with April 2.

April 5th.
Hope you have found your carvings. I am slowing learning not to ever put anything away in a "safe place" because I can never find it afterwards!

This year is too weird to tell. My crocus (some of them) are up and it was 70 last Friday, this Friday it is supposed to be snowing and in the single digits (with below 0 for the weekend). Mind you I have had virtually no snow most of the winter here.

April 1st

Bettina Groh said...

Tax Day... April 15th

DJan said...

How about April 2? It's not taken yet. :-)

Cynthia said...

Is April 11 taken? If not, put me down.

linda m said...

i want to pick April 16 as that is my hubby's birthday. Since someone else also picked that date, I will concede to him if need be.

Jo-Anne's Ramblings said...

I will go with April 21

diane in northern wis said...

Well. It's hard to say but I'll guess April 22nd for the snowstick! Would love to see the snow be gone by then! We have a nice warming trend going on right now so you never know! Take care you two!

Red said...

Well, this year I'll try Mar 28?

When you start your snow stick countdown, I figure Spring has to be coming to you. I think ours is here. Crocuses and Daffodils are blooming. Also the Harbinger-of-Spring and the Hepatica.

thecrazysheeplady said...

If I can pick a date already taken, I'd like March 31. If not, I'll take the 26th.

Andrea Charles said...

I am so amazed by the number of responses. This shows how much everyone is waiting for the snow to be gone and for spring to arrive. I guess it would be April 25 according to me. More than being part of this contest, I would like to appreciate you keeping us readers engaged even during snow. I too keep things in a safe place and forget where I keep it. So its no surprise. Thank you.
