That's a snow stick. You find them along routes that tend to get massive amounts of snow. After the plows go through, often the only part you see is the black part. They're also flexible and don't break when you hit 'em.

Every one of those I've seen is banded so you can see at a glance how high up the pole the snow is. This one is plain white. You'd have to get out and measure from the top of the pole down to the snow and subtract that from the known height of the pole to get a reading.

If you know the height of the pole.

Looks to be just about 1 inch:p:lol:

When I was driving big rigs, those were on the side of the road as I was skirting Yellowstone. No bands. It's more to show you where the ditch is than anything else.
