Announcing another contest.

These snow pictures were taken this morning, April 6th, 2008. The contest is open to everyone. It is way super easy. Especially since the last contest went on and on without a winner... we felt we had to get rid of few more hats in a short period of time. Deadline to enter is Friday, April 11th at midnight.

Your job?

Guess which day the snow will be gone. First person to correctly guess the day we lose the last of our snow wins a limited edition HMR hat.

Send your guesses to highmountainranch@povn.com Put "Snopocalypse" in the subject heading.

Hints to help you score a hat.

The snow is on the north side of the house. It is still snowing up here. Snow is in the forecast for the rest of the week, although when it sticks overnight, it usually melts off by late afternoon. Oh yeah, and lately we've experienced temps 15-20 degrees below normal.

PS. Misty and Brett informed me that it was my duty to make sure that everyone knows that the Mondo fabu 5th Wheel Trailer, complete with playground, kiddie pool and garden views previously featured on Meanwhile Back At the Ranch...the very one that they lived in during the summer of 2007... was a "temporary" dwelling.

Although sadly not featured in "Trailer Life Living" the couple did win an honorary mention in the who's who list of America's Top Ten Trailer Lovin' and Livin' Couples. The love birds were listed under the catagory "Love Lifts US Up! Passion via 5th Wheel Lift Kits". Jacks courtesy of Brett.

But back to the contest at hand. Game on?

We'll announce the day the snow is finally gone and after Friday begin featuring regular updates so you can track our thaw.
