Mayor Walsh Challenges Bostonians to Guess When Massive Snow Pile Will Melt

The horrific winter that was just doesn’t seem to want to go away!

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is challenging Bostonians to guess when the massive snow pile on Tide Street will finally melt. Winners will enjoy a “meet and greet” with Walsh.

“This is a fun and creative way for residents to come together and make light of what was a long, challenging winter,” said Mayor Walsh. “Now that it’s summer, we can have some fun and talk about how we recovered from the historic amount of snow Boston received. I’m surprised to see that we still have unmelted snow here!”

This past winter, the city’s Public Works Department plowed more than 295,000 miles of roadway, removed 40,000 truckloads of snow and melted 50,000 tons of snow at snow farms.

A large majority of the snow was dumped at the Tide Street location. The snow still remains despite warm summer temperatures.

To enter Walsh’s contest, participants must tweet at @Marty_Walsh using the hashtag #BOSMeltNow, including the month and day they believe the snow will be fully melted.

Submissions are due by midnight on July 15, 2015.
