When When Wednesday?

As Parker says, "Snow is now a four-letter word." Her Mom didn't even want to look at this picture, taken Saturday March 1.
This one was taken on Sunday March 2:
This one was taken on Monday March 3:
And this one was taken yesterday morning, March 4:
This one was taken this morning, March 5. It is raining really hard.The big question is.... "When will the snow MELT?" That's what I want to know.

When will it be ALL GONE?

Would you like to guess? I am having a contest. The cat, woofie or bun who guesses the date when there is NO MORE SNOW when Mom looks out this window each day will get a prize. (More on that later, we haven't worked it out yet. Probably Nip Raviolis, Temptaytions, you know, fun stuff like that!)

Every day Mom will get up and take a picture of this same view and post it on my blog. On the day she wakes up and THERE IS NO SNOW ANYWHERE IN THE PICTURE will be THE DAY. If you guess the EXACT day, you will get a prize. If NOBODY guesses the EXACT DAY, the cat who guessed the day CLOSEST TO the day, but not AFTER the day, will get the prize.


Here are the rules:
1. Each cat, woofie or bun gets ONE GUESS EACH.
2. Guesses must be in the comments of THIS POST.
3. Deadline is Midnight Sunday March 9, 2008. (So when it isn't Sunday anywhere in the world, the voting will be over.)
4. You have to have a blog, or leave some way for us to get in touch with you, so we have to know who you are. If you have a blog, you're good to go.
5. It's my blog, so if I wanna change the rules, I can.


Now for some useful information.
1. The houses across the street face East. So the snow in their front yards will melt first. Duh.
2. Sun melts the snow.
3. Rain melts it faster.
4. The average high temperature for March in New Hampster is 44F
5. The average low temperature for March in New Hampster is 18F
6. It snows in April. This picture was taken last year, on April 5. It snowed again on April 17. So, guess accordingly.
7. *****The contest ends when there is NO SNOW on the ground in the picture. If it snows the next day, oh well, that's New England weather for you!*****

I think I'll pick mom's birthday-- March 26th. She says she remembers birthday parties of hers when there was LOTS of snow and some when all the kids were in shorts.

Hopefully it'll all be gone by then!!
