Melting snow reveals cars buried for months in Boston

All right, now to the weather phenomenon unfolding in a very slow motion way in Boston, where today's summer-like temperatures are finally chipping away at a literal mountain of snow. But it's not so much the pile that's got people looking as what's underneath it. Oh, looks like the windshield might be punched in. Yeah, that's some of the reaction to the massive and now slowly melting pile of snow at a public works lot in Somerville, Massachusetts. It's been quite the tourist attraction over the last few days as that eroding and very dirty snow pile begins to reveal and expose several cars that have been encased within it for months. So how'd they get there? Here's the deal. Somerville plow crews began to run out of places to put all that snow they scooped up during back-to-back storms earlier this year. So rather than divert much-needed manpower to tow cars the city deemed junk, they just buried them, six in all. And the melt is proving to be something of a large-scale science project. Observers estimate that each car has been under the equivalent of 60,000 pounds of pressure. And as the snow around it melts, crowds have been coming out to see just what will happen to those vehicles. Will they fall apart? Will they collapse? Will the windows shatter? There are now entire online communities keeping tabs on just how this plays out. Free Boston entertainment, as one onlooker put it. And it turns out it could last some time, Christy. Some estimate that pile could take until June or July to finally disappear. And though we don't have cars underneath them, we certainly have a few of those piles in our region as well. That is very true. I mean, I wonder how long it would take for all of that to melt.
