{Note: The answer was April 7}

It's that time again!



So start calibrating your snow-estimating abilities, because we're going to enjoy this snow, and {clenching teeth} we're going to enjoy it right now. Got that?

The Rules:
1. In the comments section of this post, tell me the date when you think that every last bit of snow in our pile has melted.
2. You may not choose a duplicate date as someone else.
3. You have until Saturday, February 7, 2009 to enter.
4. One entry per person.
5. I'll keep you updated....

The Booty:
I made myself some o' these* and I LOVE them. Love love love them. And because I love them, I want you to love them, too. I'll make you a set! Also. I will include a personalized because-I-know-you-I-think-you'll-enjoy-this-surprise-prize. And if I don't know you, I'll just throw in something that I like, and cross my fingers, k?

Things To Keep In Mind:
1. In December 2008 alone, we were 20" of snow ahead of local averages.
2. Last year, the last bits of the pile melted away on April 18th, and another big congratulations to Molly for being only one day off. She's 2-for-2 in my blog-tests, so you'll have to get up pretty early in the morning to have an edge. I'd suggest you prepare accordingly.
3. Here are some pictures (taken today) to help you out


An aerial view (If "aerial" means "from our guest room window")


From the northwest


From the front porch, which also happens to be from the northwest...what a coincidence!


From the street


*These are not mine. These are purely the result of someone else's hard work and talent and grit and nose-to-the-grindstone...and a google search on my part. But I still think they're cute.
