I presume all the sand is from them "gritting" the roads during winter? and as the snow melted the sand formed a layer over the top insulating the rest of the snow? Also Tampere is a lovely place, I should have moved there long ago.

Yeah! This summer has been really hot here in Sweden too (but I like it). I think the main reason it doesn't melt, is the thick layer of dirt and sand that forms on top of the huge pile of snow, as the first part of it melts away. That does a lot when it comes to insulate the snow from the hot air and sun light from above and makes it melt slower and slower.

@Brad Griffin That's the actual train or the engine. The other carriages were just normal double decker passenger carriages.

One does not simply walk into Mordor. One takes one's bicycle.

"What do you do in summer vacation in Finland?". "We build snow castles"

At least one of the snow dumps in our city (at about 53 degrees N) still has a a deep mountain of grit covered snow. Sometimes it lasts until September.. The sand and rock chips do an annoying job of insulating the pile. :) At least we get to screen and re-use the girt, as the snow dump is on the same giant lot as the concrete and asphalt recycling yard, where they make aggregate for fixing the roads.

It's amazing how everything is so open in Finland, if there was a snow dump site in the uk it would be surrounded with 8ft razor wire fence.

Herbert Susmann Yes you're mostly right though some northern parts of the country actually have permafrost soil. Finnish winters usually make damage to the roads as the frozen soil starts melting during spring. But yes, the soil isn't that thick and underneath the bedrock is rising a couple of centimeters or so each year as it recovers from the weight of the ice age glacier.

Tampere is making glacier to fight global warming

This is only 3 years late, but here in Wisconsin, by Lake Michigan we have just revived an old festival, Snowfest in Two Rivers. Quote: The origins of Snowfest begin when a group of workers in the city uncovered a four-by-ten-foot mound of snow, in the middle of summer, no less. Since then, the city has used this historic moment as a reason to celebrate. Thus, July 24, 1937, kicked off the very first Snowfest. In fact, back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, the town would crown a Snow Queen. I remember during the parade city workers would throw snow out of the back of a dump truck. We had at the time wood working plants that would dump the saw dust over the snow piles to keep the snow until July's parade. Good times!

@A_Casual_Observer

Well, it's not exactly stored on purpose any more. Back when refrigerators were not commonplace, people used to saw big chunks of ice out of lakes and store it in sawdust, for the purpose of keeping food cool during the summer.

"oh ho it's moving!" that was a good reaction!

Leoko moved his paw and instantly overheated.

Here in Ottawa, Canada, we are at about the same latitude, so our weather is similar. It can be -30C to -40C in the winter, and 30C to 40C in the summer (which is much shorter than the winter). We also have snow dumps, and the snow stays there for the summer as well (I haven't been that close to it, but I have a good view from my office at work). This was really fun to watch, I've always wanted to dig in it in the summer.

Many years ago the City of Chicago had a problem with many heavy snow falls. They put snow everywhere. In Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, in parks and still there was too much. Then somebody had a great idea. They filled an empty coal train, these trains are big, like a hundred cars and sent it to Florida so the kids there could play in the snow!

Hi. I tried some Maku Laku Licorice from Finland. Very nice. Found in a shop near me in New Zealand.

The trains in Finnland are much more beautiful then they in Germany :)

We have similar piles in Sweden, one of them is used for cooling a hospital in the summers.

This kind of gravel and sand slack deposit over ice is exactly what we would expect to find on the surface of distant worlds in the Solar System like Ceres or Callisto. That's why I find this video particularly interesting.

thanks for the video! I think this is one of the most unique videos i have seen, and i have seen many. thanks for doing something that i have always wanted to do - climb on top of a big snow pile in the summer and dig a hole! lol. i'm glad i don't live near where you live because i think i would be on top of those mounds during most of the summer, just digging holes and playing in the snow. (yeah, i know. it's dirty snow) I don't think the snow will melt because the layer of sand is too great, and it insulates the snow too much.

Hey guys...loving it already

Here in Anchorage, we have the same thing. Snow dump sites to pile up the snow that gets scraped up from parking lots and such. They turn ugly and brown, but they do melt away. It's interesting to see your piles too.

Snow fort in the summer!

now you can shovel snow all year long! :)

Very interesting. The beginning of the Tampere Glacier ... It will not melt now.

If you get lots of rain and warm weather for the remainder of the summer the pile will get smaller but wont disappear. If you just get the heat, the layer of sand will insulate the snow and it will not get much smaller. The more snow that melts, the more sand is produced on the top which gives the show more insulation, keeping it colder below. Rain will penetrate the insulation and cause the snow below to melt.

Very cool video! I'm from Red Deer, Canada, in fall of 2014 one of our snow dump sites still had a massive pile of snow that never melted. The snow fell and winter came, the snow "mountain" finally melted away by fall of 2015.

That is a pretty cat.

Moi Anni ja Lauri! Cool video, surprised how much snow there still is. Keep cool in Tampere! 👍👏🏻😊🍦

I was on a solo trip around Orbyhus in Sweden in Jan, Feb, March and took pictures and Videos from the same places. its amaziing to see how things change. All the best to you and your Families. And as KiT said -- More Cold More better. (or so :) ) actually we have here locally 27,7 C, and ~40% Humidity :( Michael, Zehlendorf Berlin, Germany

It's the start of a new glacier.

You guys are lucky. Here in Ireland, we always have shit weather. Spring - rain, summer - warm rain, autumn - cold rain, winter - very cold rain.

Snow dump would be great to cool houses during the summer. With tubes through it and a simple fan, great airco.

Lauri just said slav squat. My day just improved

Currently in Texas the temperature is 104°F/40°C and the heat index is even higher. We need that snow pile here.

If it's going to rain a lot in the summer it could all melt. If not then I think it'll survive till next winter.

I've seen some people put snow in closed places with fans, so in the summer, they use the snow-cooled aire for AC, and they send the hot air to the compartment to be recooled. Also, any video with the cats is always a good one! :D

Can't wait for 2020 when that documentary comes out!

You can send some of that extra snow to me, it won't last long here where it is nearly 110 F. I really like you crazy guys and the videos.

Very Good... You ride around trains and not just run across tracks. Very funny I think you say digging hole in snow dump dangerous when you explode cars and huge concrete blocks!

If all the snow don't melt away by the end of summer it's just gonna refreeze into ice (rather than snow) when winter comes!

You could start the time lapse now, then you will have a full year by next summer

That is awesome. We have the same things here in Canada in the cities, they have to remove the snow the same way because in the cities there is not enough room. But in my town we have ample room since I live in a farming community.

Since snowpile is taken from all local roads it is probably concentrating precious metals like platinum from catalytic converters very much and you could pan for them in the runoff like cody did with his street sweepings.

We had snow dump sites in Michigan where I grew up. It wouldn't melt completely during the summer so they would alternate sites every year. That way the snow had 2 summers to melt.

Really good

You should take a foundry up there and hear a big steel rod up really hot and put it on the snow and see how far down it melts

"You will not probably want to eat this snow, or, you know, swim in it." Good to know.

When I was a kid, the snow dump sites in spring were good places for finding empty cans and bottles, money and other stuff.

Another great episode! I love this kind of content!

Try using a spade shovel or rounded shovel. It'll get a deeper hole and it'll be easier. Great video though!
