Juno Accumulation Predictions

On Monday, waiting anxiously for a blizzard, we spent some time thinking about just how much snow might fall. Now that it's Wednesday... we should check in with our predictions! Students in our class predicted that we would receive somewhere between 20 and 36 inches of snow. How much snow fell at your house? What was the difference between what fell and your prediction?
We had fun measuring to really get a sense of how high 20 inches of snow and 36 inches of snow would be. Everyone got a turn to stand up next to our measurement markers to see how high the snow would be compared to their own size. Some second graders were excited by the prospect of waist deep snow, and others said they would not go outside if there was 36" of snow because it would be up to their shoulders! We snapped a quick picture of everyone too, to refer to after the storm had passed. We will use these fun measurement pictures to kick off some wintery writing when we are back at school.

I'm looking forward to finding out what everyone did in the snow, and during the blizzard- trapped in the house. I hope everyone is warm!
