BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) — Mayor Marty Walsh announced that the last of the snow pile in Boston's Seaport District has melted away as of Tuesday, July 14.

This past winter Boston reached a breaking record of 60.8” of snow recorded over a 30-day stretch, topping the previous record of 58.8” of snow in the same time periodicon1.png back in February, 1978.

Workers removed the snow from Boston’s streets and brought it to areas of thecityicon1.png known as “snow farms,” where the giant piles sat to melt. The pile accumulated into a 75-foot tower of snow after a record-breaking winter that dumped more than 110 inches in total on the city.

By spring, the snow pile was still hanging on. People from all over Massachusetts and across the country wondered when the big pile of ice and debris would reach its end.

The spring season saw some days even reached the high 80’s, yet the big pile of snow did not seem to be going anywhere. Workers worked very hard to remove the trash from the big pile of snow, and yet the snow was not going away noticeably enough, as spring turned to summericon1.png.

Many people tweeted about when they estimated the snow would finally melt. Some of the guesses were very far from the day in which it melted, while a few guesses were right on point.

Mayor Marty Walsh will congratulate those who guessed the correct date for the #BosMeltNow challenge. It will be hosted Wednesday, July 15 at the Boston City Hall plaza front lawn at 11 a.m.

It was a disgusting mess at the end.  Estimated 8 tons of trash I think they said was left behind.

Oh my goodness! Really? I would have thought it was gone weeks ago.

Don't worry, it'll be back in no time.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA. .......

I've been watching our snow farm here south of Boston since March. It was gone about a month ago, but the pile of debris left behind was unbelievable.

They've finally gotten rid of all the trash now.

Seriously - piles of snow would be helpful to grab and use to cool down on my walks in 100 degree weather.

Hand to God, I have never EVER heard the term "snow farm".  That's just crazy!

They should have loaded it in dump trucks & trucked to CA to drop in their empty resevoirs.

 Someone around here was selling it.  They packed it in dry ice and shipped it anywhere in the country.  I think they charged $50.
