After a flurry of winter activity, it's quite helpful to know where you stand. If you can still see the snow gauge, it might be a good day for cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. If you can't? Hot cocoa. The La Crosse Metal Snow Gauge measures up to 24 inches of accumulation with a laser-cut scale and easy-to-read numbers designed to stand out against fresh powder. The see-through Nordic ornamental snowflake accent keeps it interesting without going overboard, and the built-in arrow-shaped stake means it's ready to dig in before winter does. | La Crosse Technology | | 24 Inch Metal Snow gauge | Dark brown | Best Buy
