Neat! I wonder whether there is still man-made snow on the runs of the
local ski hills, Ski Martock and Ski Wentworth. Or ice in the "ice cave" on
the Parks Canada property at York Redoubt.
On May 31 I was surprised to find completely natural ice and snow in a
deep rocky crevasse, where the sun never shines, in the woods near the
shoreline of Admiral Lake (White Lake Wilderness Area, HRM)..

Subject: [NatureNS] Lingering Snow in June
I have been watching with interest the gradual shrinking of a snow bank on
the edge of Bedford. It was formed by clearing a large parking lot across
from Clearwater Lobsters. At one point this winter a backhoe was brought in
to compact the snow, and then pile more on top. It must have been more than
20 feet high in March. It's down to just a couple of feet now, an icy crust
in a ditch below some steep shady woods. It is also partly obscured by
crusher dust.
I'm waiting to see if it will hang on till the first day of summer.
