The Han Snowlo Project: part II.
So I started this goofy experiment in my last blog entry. Over the course of Thursday through Sunday, I tracked the rate of snowfall using a broomstick and my son’s Han Solo.
You can see the progress of the snow below, along with the anguished plastic cries of the non-carbonite frozen Corellian.
Thursday, 8:00pm
Friday, 12:30am - 3" of snow
Friday, 7:45am - 6" of snow
Friday, 2:00pm - 8" of snow
Friday, 7:00pm - 10" of snow
Saturday, 12:00pm - 13" of snow
Sunday, 1:00pm - 17" of snow
So there it is. The final count for the Han Snowlo Project was 17″, but that total is deceiving, as that location by the tree had a constant flow of wind, plus some of the snow had settled by Sunday…nearby areas had close to 20″, with drifts higher than two feet. Some areas near Denver received over three feet. And we had another 3″ fall last night. Crazy!
So look for the next goofy toy-related science experiment during the next Colorado snowstorm!
…and I just realized that Han Solo is still strapped to the broomstick out there…
If you used Indiana Jones, he would have freed himself. And if you used Chuck Norris, well, if you tried, that would be you on the broomstick!
looks like your kid will not get a new han after all unless the temps have wrecked it by now. and looking forward to the next whacky experiment
I thought that Han would have been up to his neck in snow, but it looks like the blizzard the tv weathermen/women were going on about was a localized event. The big question now is how long will the snow stick around.
This was fun! I hope you come up with something again soon!
Gotta love the Death’s Head. I thought that was a nice touch.
