CapturedNature Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Wow, is that another snow farm where they dump it? That pile looks like it's going to survive well into August. According to this tweet, it's behind the Rte 128 Auto Parts: https://twitter.com/bostonnewsman/status/568031294694625280 Here it is on satellite for those interested in making a pilgrimage: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3739885,-71.2707216,381m/data=!3m1!1e3 Buffalo pile still going strong, grass growing in it, dirt but no garbage It would be awesome if the annual challenge mentioned in this article happened: http://www.citylab.com/weather/2015/07/theres-somehow-still-a-nasty-snow-pile-in-buffalo/398813/ I'm sure weenies all over would be building massive piles of snow to see whose can last the longest. I know I used to do that when I was younger and even had a pile make it to the end of May with a little help....lol. I still think the snow farm in Quebec City is the best with snow lasting all year in some years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Buffalo pile still going strong, grass growing in it, dirt but no garbage Public works had excavators out at Central Terminal tearing into the Buffalo pile and spreading it around on Thursday, so I think it'll be totally gone in a week or so.

I know this is my inner weenie talking but if the pile isn't doing anything, why bother? It's gonna melt any way and you're taking guys away from real tasks that need to be done, not to mention the cost of diesel fuel to run the equipment. It's such a shame. They should make a fund raiser contest out of guessing when it will melt rather than spending time and money to tear it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Southie is the center of the snowpile universe. Proud of our cities trash insulating that snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowman Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yeah that thing isn't going anywhere until at least mid July I think. I'll have to go take a look soon...it's not too far from where I work. Will Nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although maybe they think it will last into the winter, and keep growing from year to year. That would be pretty awesome to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went over there one Sunday about 3 weeks ago but the huge junkyard was closed. I was unable to get a vantage point where I could see this claimed surviving pile. I am assuming it was in the junkyard itself because I went around the outside of it and saw nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The pile he is talking about was in Waltham, different one than the seaport pile. Yeah - someone had posted a picture supposedly taken on 7/29 and the pile looked fairly substantial: http://s25.photobucket.com/user/KartAnimal29/media/Snow%20%20July%20%2029th_zpss5uivaeo.jpg.html It matches up with the photo in this tweet so it is possible. We need intel from the guy that posted those pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need intel from the guy that posted those pictures. I posted the picture and that's my buddy that took that on the 29th. Last years pile lasted till Sept and that was with them turning it. I asked him about this year's pile the other week and he said he's not working for that company but was going to try and get in there to see if anything was left. I'll ask him if he knows if there is anything left this morning and get back to you and yes it is in the junk yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
