My old snowboard was pretty lightweight, and it either blew away in the strong winds last week or was removed from the yard by someone or something. In any event, I had to replace it, so I stopped by a local arts and crafts store when I was out running errands on Sunday. I picked up a three-pack of 14" by 18" canvases. They're a little heavier and more durable than the old snowboard, so I hope that they'll hold up better. I can also do a better job of bringing them inside after the snow hits to keep them from being blown around or tampered with. The advantage of having three snowboards is that I can distribute them around the yard and get a better sampling of the snowfall. I managed to get one of the boards in place right after I got home, and I measured 1.8" of lake effect snow that fell mostly during the Super Bowl. Before the next significant snow event, I'll find a couple of strategic spots for the other two snowboards.
