October scan: closing in

We collected our penultimate scan (the last scan will take place when chips come off and snow is exposed)! This time, we wanted to see how much melt has occurred in fall. Turns out, melt rate is slowing down and the COC still has plenty of snow left (more than 60% by volume of what was put in the pit) to open their season in mid November!

Comparisons of volume change and rate of melt for the 2018 summer (top two graphs) and the 2019 summer (bottom two graphs).

In November, they will remove the tarp and wood chips and we’ll be up one final time to scan the pile. For now, we cross our fingers that we don’t see any absurdly warm weather for the rest of our fall.
