If you’ve watched the news today, you may have seen the weather forecast for Denver. Snow, wind, snow, wind, snow…you get the idea. The NOAA has predicted between 12″ – 24″ of snow for the Denver area, along with near-blizzard conditions overnight through tomorrow.
Fun.
So anticipating that schools will be closed tomorrow and wanting nothing to do with household responsibilities, my son and I settled upon our own homemade snow measurement system…
The Han Snowlo Project.
We found an old, broken broomstick and carefully drew measurement lines using a metal ruler. We were very scientific and precise.
The skull designates 24″ of snow, otherwise known as Snowmaggedon.
We added one dashing rogue in Han Solo. It took quite a bit of convincing for my son to allow the use of his beloved little plastic man. A couple of rubber bands later, and Solo was ready for action.
We found a nice spot in the yard. And then we drove it deep into the ground with a hammer.
And now we wait for the meteorological carnage. Stay tuned for updates!
Dude, you could’ve at least used a *Hoth* Han!
if nothing else your kid is going to be looking forward to a new han solo the odd chance its snows enough to reach where he is on that measuring stick
Good Lord, man! Wasn’t the carbon freeze thing punishment enough? Actually, I sort of tried that with a beat up Corps figure (Whipsaw) a couple of years back. Left him doing guard duty by our chimney while exposed to several heat waves and rainstorms. His rubber band finally disintegrated and the poor guy literally went to pieces. I gave him a proper burial for his valiant efforts.
Well, according to the reports around here, you got snow up to your keister, so Han must have been standing on the top of the glacier! I’m anxious to see more pictures!
