My PH in his mid 30's had lived in the valley all his life. He had seen snow on the Mountain tops before, but never on the valley floor. That is where he measured the 3 cm.

While getting warmed up we went to PH's fathers home and that is where I saw two huge elephant tusks and heard the story of how his Grandfather killed the elephant in the garden many years before. The picture of the Grandfather with Elephant realy impressed me. May not others. The house I was standing in could be seen in the background and the grand father was standing by the elephant that was laying in its side, and he had one hand on the tip of the Elephants tusk and his hand was above his head. THe PH told me that his Grandfather use to tell him that was the last elephant they ever saw on the farm. The tusks were taller than me.
