We got about 10 cm of snow yesterday, so the snow pile in the parking lot got a nice whitening. It’s not as big as it used to be, but it’s looking a lot cleaner.
I was telling someone about your snow mountain and how *it’s still there* and he, who’s like me in that he prefers the heat to the cold, was also horrified. : -)
This is the winter of our discontent! (at having so much snow and how long it is sticking around)
We’re supposed to get a rain storm on Monday (they’ve already called it a rain day for work) that’ll melt most of ours away. I’m pretty happy with that.
That sky looks ominous. More snow to come?

There was some more after I took the pic, yeah. But it wasn’t too much. Mix of snow and rain for the week coming up.

They recently got some international news coverage. Apparently they can get to be a big problem.

On the one hand it’s funny they have to treat snow like garbage; on the other, it’s scary what that entails.
But it’s also interesting they blame it on the climate when it was humans who dumped all that salt into it.

In other words, if you’re so worried about climate change, STOP DUMPING TONS OF SALT INTO YOUR SNOW.

Salt is incredibly damaging to cars, clothes, and the environment, but the replacements they’ve tried just haven’t worked out.

Nanobots will solve the problem. I don’t know how exactly, but they will.

We’re supposed to have rain Monday too. But March is unpredictable. Snow can blow in anytime.

I’m concerned we’re going to get hit with one last storm, but if this one on Monday stays rain, i’m not worried any more.
