There is an annual competition at the architecture firm I work at in Idaho., "The Snow Chicken". Every year people pick a date when they think it will snow above the chickens head. The chicken is a 12" heigh flat iron silhouette of a rooster (chicken in our office). The competition is fierce as the guy's try to use previous years winners as guides for the upcoming snow fall. A meticulous record book is kept at one of the architects desk's along with the official rules. The chicken is placed in the neighbors yard to detour from any natural tampering that may occur, i.e. dogs peeing, snow falling from a tree, or somebody inadvertedly shoveling snow on it's head.
Today, the chicken is within an inch of being covered and you'll never guess who picked today...me! A little too soon to say for sure as the snow has subsided at the moment but it could be a good day to cover that chicken!
*You can see the chicken's head just peaking out of the snow in front of the truck....
