How much snow did we have on the ground on Wednesday? About one dino’s worth

Apparently we had more than 3 dinos worth of new snowfall by 2pm on Saturday, giving us a grand total of almost 5 dinos worth of snow in places and it was still coming down.

5 dinos worth - I can imagine that but can never visualise 3 inches! good to see humour remains despite lots of snow and related hassles

Fab photos, and I love this new way of measuring depth of snowfall. Hope it catches on :-)

Cheri said...

What a creative way to measure - and probably infinitely more accurate than the weather guys!

This is too crazy! We've had early spring here in Oregon. My boys went outside with their shirts off and played in the garden hose. Not sure I could go back to the winter mode if we got a freak snowstorm....which has happened before in March.

Looks like the dinos had a lot of fun! So cute the photos!

And havoc and mayhem as your blog title, so witty!! :)

Found you at MBC commenters

As much snow as 5 dinos? They looked as if they enjoyed it though. Of course, they don't have to worry about stuff like the roads being snowed up all the way to the Dairy Queen so no ice cream..
The garden photos are pretty special! Definitely a set of pics to scrap with!

OMG, I love the dinos! And that one where he's standing on the other's head!

That is a crazy amount of snow. Holy crap. For once, I'm glad I live in upstate NY right now.
