Our car in the snow this morning
We’re getting hit by a lovely snowstorm here. It started snowing in the wee hours yesterday, and isn’t supposed to let up until tonight. We’re getting a good amount of accumulation.
We’re measuring the snow every three hours (during the day – I’m not THAT dedicated) and recording it. Tomorrow, we’ll make a graph of the snowfall. It has felt very steady, and it will be interesting to see if it really has been, or if it has fallen in waves.
We’ll have some fun, and learn and paractice real-life application of math concepts, working with patterns, choosing which graph is appropriate and then making the graphs, along with whatever else just happens naturally.
This post is linked to Thirsty Thursday at FiveJ’s. You won’t regret it if you go read the articles linked on today’s carnival and on previous weeks. Neat, neat ideas.

I’d like to say that I wish we could do that here in Texas, but I lived in Alaska for 3 years, so I don’t miss the snow! Maybe we could measure the rainfall we’ve had this last month…record rainfall (but no snow!)
I would MUCH prefer to measure rain! I love Colorado, and the snow is pretty, but only for the first day – after that, it gets all mud-covered and dingy, and it does make driving difficult.
