Official definition: A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. Geiger counters are used to detect ionizing radiation. An inert gas-filled tube briefly conducts electricity when a particle or photon of radiation makes the gas conductive. The tube amplifies this conduction by a cascade effect and outputs a current pulse, which is then often displayed by a needle or lamp and/or audible . Modern instruments can report radioactivity over several orders of magnitude.
My definition of Geiger counter: Geiger individual who summarizes amount of snow received February 5-6, 2010 as reported by assorted Geiger individuals in varying parts of the country.

That's really cute calculations there, Michele. I'm sure that town in Florida didn't get any snow at all.
We got more snow than you did up there in Danielsville, PA. We were around 8 inches.
Yeah, you're right....they didn't get any snow in sunny Florida!!
Hahaha! Make that three inches of sunshine for the Floridians! :-)
You know, I'm researching online jobs writing and I was thinking.....You might want to look into it-you're pretty good at coming up with new topics or finding a new way to talk about old ones! Just a thought.
