How Long Until the Snow Melts?
Posted by: WingNut ()
Date: February 11, 2010 10:09PM

My girl is absolutely positive it can all melt within two weeks if temps are above freezing most days. Not so fast, I say, there are some iceberg piles the size of small cars that have been made by plows. They'll be ugly, dirty and with us until perhaps Easter. This is a once in a generation accumulation, this shit will be here a long time regardless if it rains or goes above 32 and get's sunny everyday.

Now the streets and the grass may clear up in a few weeks, it already melted a little today. But I think it's very possible there will be some piles in the parking lots for a month or more to come. Wish there wouldn't be but this crap will be here a while.

I say at least 3 weeks for the snow on the grass to melt. As for some of those big ass mounds, probably well into March.

What really melts it fast is a two or three day rain.

Like what happened with the December snow.

IIRC, the blizzard of 96 snows melted fairly quickly. About 2-3 weeks after it fell, we had one of those odd 60 degree days that, for the most part, melted everything. I remember driving around Columbia, MD that night, and it was completely foggy from all snow melting into the warm air.

I've noticed alot of places around Tysons are now trucking the snow out. Not sure where they're dumping it, but if most areas truck out the massive piles of snow, I think most of it will melt in a few weeks. Now if they left those huge piles in place, they'd probably stay there until April.

We should pick a common area spot and run a lottery. Without a warm rain or lots of sunny days, I am saying March. I am remembering a week after the storm in 2003 we had flooding, so don't wish it away too fast.

There were still piles of snow left over from December in my neighborhood before the new snow hit last Friday. Unless we get a string of rainy or really warm days, it'll be St. Patrick's Day at least before it's all gone.

Never, we will get more and more snow, glaciers will form and D.C. will turn into a frozen tundra. Anyone remember when the snow melted after the 96 storm and they shut down chain bridge because the water had risen 2 feet below the bridge and old town was in 3 feet of water?

Ok, so not exactly as soon as the Day After Tomorrow, but these last storms did make me think of that movie - not that I really thought it was occurring, but I still drove to ffx every single day and several times to and from more than once a day.

The best part was driving 123 North when it was a white out and no plows had been around for a while. The road was no where to be seen and I had to navigate by signs on the right shoulder and center divide. That was fun - No Sarcasm. I loved it.

Hell, this would be a good pool option.

Over/Under that all snow will be completely vanished by March 2nd (including the parking lot ski slopes.) +/- 2 days. Outside of that, off.

There's a pile of snow up against the parking deck at West Falls Church station that is still about 15 feet high (or more). It's in a place that doesn't get direct sunlight, I can easily see that thing being there for another month.

As long as those niggers are in Fairfax, the snow will be here. Niggers love snow because the longer it is here, the blacker it gets. In my honest opinion, we should bring back slavery for a few months so the niggers can get all of the snow out of here. It would be nice to see a coon working for a change instead of laying around all day and night drinking 40s and smoking Kools.

Here's the new question: when will the respective HOA's get around to cutting up all of the fallen trees? I've got one that takes up 60% of my back yard, which fell from a "common area" and is tagged to be cut up. And for what it's worth I was told NOT to cut it up. Otherwise I'd be sawing that bitch up.

I would, but the problem is that it's a 40-50' pine tree. The reason I was told not to cut it up was that it's too big to place out on the street for pick up. The tree company would bring equipment (chippers/splitters) to dispose of it and the 3 in my neighbors's yards (and all of the other trees in the 'hood). I'm afraid if I cut it up, I'll be responsible for the disposal - fuck that. I'm not making 50 trips to the dump with my truck.

If it was oak or something other than pine, I'd cut it for firewood. Pine sucks for firewood - too much smoke.

Burning pine in your fireplace or wood stove can also burn your house down. Pine smoke coats the inside of your chimney with creosote. And when that shit ignites you're talking a major chimney fire. Chimney fires can catch the house on fire.

There are still some big piles on the north side of the parking garage at West Falls Church metro that look like they'll make it to April. I'll try to snap a pic later today.

The big pile I posted earlier would have stayed long too, but the day after I posted it, they brought in a bulldozer and hauled the snow away.

It used to be piled up to the third or fourth level of the parking garage. I think it'll be there for another couple of weeks, at least.
