ok, so nine years later :P
In Dallas here, they use the ruler in the other direction to measure snowfall (Seriously, though, they will measure the /grass/ under the snow and call it part of the snow depth, even when there's not enough snow to cover the grass... I have seen people jokingly lay the ruler down on the ground and report snow width instead of depth :D
We did get two feet of snow in about 2009 once... wow. was gone in two days but it was a rough two days :D Also every single house had a snowman or other snowcritter in front of it... I saw three "avatar flying critters" in blue and green on my block alone :D... There was a huge block of snow in front of the fire house, with two (much) smaller blocks on top, like they tried to make a snow man, but didn't /quite/ know how :D
