KartAnimal29 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 lol. Seems to be more junk than snow, if there is truly any snow in there. Is that the same place of that photo earlier in the thread where there were people walking on that pile? No this is west of Boston. This is what it looked like on Feb 26th http://s25.photobucket.com/user/KartAnimal29/media/dana%20%20snow_zpszgw3bwlz.jpg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Snow pile at Central Terminal, Buffalo is still there, but speculation is that soil picked up by plows and dumped with the snow is now insulating what's left and slowing the melt rate considerably. Apparently there are now plants growing in the sediment deposits encrusting the Buffalo pile. I don't quite know how to express how grossed out I am by this fact.

That is nasty. Very surprised that it is that pile that's left considering the salt air that attacks it all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 lol. That is nasty. Very surprised that it is that pile that's left considering the salt air that attacks it all day long. Well it's obviously not directly exposed to the salt air anymore. It is insulated by dirt and trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Not having a run of mid-upper 90s with 75+ overnights, or heavy rains, has really aided with persistence. Thru the end of June, Logan had recorded neither a high of 90+ nor a low of 70+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Well it's obviously not directly exposed to the salt air anymore. It is insulated by dirt and trash. ...Very true. Before refrigerators, wasn't ice cut from lakes kept all summer long with sawdust in ice sheds? Not sure how long the ice lasted, but from what I understood quite a long time.

Not sure how long the ice lasted, but from what I understood quite a long time. And rivers. All of the huge icehouses along the Kennebec below Augusta are long gone, but icecutting and storage was a very important business during the 19th and early 20th century there. I'm sure they could've kept ice year-round in those sheltered (from sun and from air currents) and sawdust-covered masses if they had not been shipping it to Boston throughout the summer.

powderfreak Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Checked out the Stowe pile today...no snow depot here. Only things on top of the snow are objects people have been jumping or jibbing off of with skis and snowboards. Down to about 15 feet deep at this point as of July 8th...nothing insulating it, just tenacious as all heck sitting there in full summer sunshine every day.

Ice was big business here in New England in the 19th century.

wxeyeNH Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 The Boston "pile" on the timelapse above was shown on NBC Nightly News tonight, July 14th. I think they said the mayor sent out a tweet today that the last of the pile finally melted. So 7/14 is the official date unless someone knows of another pile elsewhere.
