How much snow fell in Wellesley?

In the line of duty: measuring the snowfall in Wellesley.

Well, there's the yardstick method. Dad put the yardstick on our outdoor table and measured 15 inches. Keep in mind: its top has grid-like holes in it.

Then there's the Tucker Measurement System. I braved the snow in the name of science. Mom measured me from paw to armpit. Result: 16 inches. It's official.
