What Makes It Uncommon

Let It Snow

Form meets function in this charming snow gauge by Chris Crooks. Inch marks climb up the steel design, measuring up to three feet and topped with a sweet snowflake. Use the included stakes to place the gauge near a window, so you can watch the snow pile up--and kiddos can eagerly wait for the flakes to reach snow day status. Handmade in Arizona.

“I started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wife’s and neighbors' patience stretched, it was time to move to an industrial space. There I can bang and grind at all hours of the night. It's 1,000 square feet of pure metalworking nirvana.”

Chris Crooks took a winding road to get to where he is now—creating imaginative lawn sculptures inspired by the Southwest landscape he calls home. After graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Chris worked in advertising, then ran a printing business with his wife, while painting during his free time. It was when the couple moved to Tucson that Chris collaborated with a metal art manufacturer and fell in love with the art form. He now designs and creates sculptures in his studio at the foot of the Santa Rita Mountains. "I always wanted to make a living doing something genuinely enjoyable," he says. "To get up in the morning raring to go, and never having enough time to do everything you want to do."

Beautiful Snow Gauge!

Since this was a gift, the only thing I would change is to ask you to remove the "snow gauge" label from the outside of the box before shipping! 😀

Fun gift

I got this as an 11 year anniversary gift for my husband (steel anniversary). It has a lovely vintage look and is much larger than I imagined which will make it easy to read from the house. He's a weather buff and thought it was a fun and unique gift.

Exactly what we hoped for!

The snow gauge is positioned in a garden out back and after our first snow of the season we were easily able to clearly read the total of 3.5" from inside the house. It has been terribly windy this past week and it hasn't budged. My husband has wanted one of these for years and is thrilled it was one of his gifts--so happy to have found this on your website.

Are stakes provided to 'attach' the snow gauge to the ground?

Verified reply from Jen

There is a 4-foot tall stake included. The bottom foot is meant to be stuck in the ground to keep the gauge stable in all sorts of weather.

Does the calibration go all the way to the ground.....when does it begin?

Verified reply from Ali

Thank you for your question! With the snow gauge, you stick in the ground and inch marks climb up the steel design. It starts at half an inch, measuring up to three feet and topped with a sweet snowflake.
