3/1/2012 9:00 AM 0.86 M M 6.5 M probably wildly inaccurate today. The snow did not get into the rain container, but formed a big circle of snow around the rim. question is whether to knock it in? I decided to knock part of it in, but instead knocked it all to the ground. It was easy to distinguish from snow on the ground, so I put some of it back inside. I have no idea whether I under or overestimated the melted measurement by doing all this. Snow on the ground ranges from 6-8 inches, I found more places with 6.5 so put that. All the trees and shrubs and flowers thought is was spring.
