Thread Name: BS: A new unit of measure.
Subject: RE: BS: A new unit of measure.
The Fluffy is a measure of snow. One cubic foot of snow is a Fluffy. A Fluffy is made up of four Scuffies, each measured as one square foot of snow three inches deep. One third of a Fluffy is a Plough, each measured as one square foot of snow four inches deep. The sub measures Scuffy and Plough denote the point at which public snow removal begins and at which my back starts to ache. There are six Flurries in a Fluffy and the measure is obvious.

Two Fluffies is a Crap, three is a Turnip, four is an OFFS and five is a Ninetytwo. The last Ninetytwo I was lucky enough to witness was in 1992 and it was actually one Ninetytwo and a Flurry.
