The Snow Gauge uses dark blue for high contrast in the snow yet able to blend into normal surroundings. When placed in your yard, the Snow Gauge can easily be read from inside your home. Spring steel legs which are designed to withstand blizzard-force winds are pushed into the ground to support the Snow Gauge. The Snow Gauge panel is then slid down the legs to contact the ground. This feature allows for proper positioning at no matter what depth the legs are initially pushed into the ground even if the ground is hard or frozen. As the snow piles up around the gauge, the last number showing at the bottom of the Snow Gauge is the accumulated snow fall amount. The weather resistant plastic gauge will you with years of trouble-free use. For once, you will know more about the actual snow fall levels in your own yard than the local weatherman!
