Snow Melt

Typical formula for calculating "if that snow melted, how many inches of water would there be?":
10-12" snow = 1" water

Density of Friday's snow, in formula, according to local meteorologist:
3" snow = 1" water

Some people refer to this as "heart attack snow."  I like to think of it as extrait.  Come on over; we'll toss some whomping balls of extrait.   Or build an extrait fort.

Daily ... Done! (And at a high temp of 4• today, that was one cold ball of elixir! :) )

Mary ... Happy to send you both fluffy & fine. Enjoy!

Rose ... Will do! Might wait until tomorrow, when we have a chance of getting to double digits (@ -12 C). I'll even dress him up a bit Raymond Briggs style...
