mt. chipotle

Sooo Cville has received a record snow fall this year and the town has spend many-a-week on total lockdown. School districts have been closed for up to 8 days straight, etc. Well what does a town with that much snow, only a few snow plowers, and no experienced snow plowing do???? They build up giant mountains of snow in parking lots and then leave it there (no money left for any additional snow removal).

Soooo one of the HUGE snow piles has been named and become famous. It is located in the Barracks Rd. shopping center right by Chipotle (LL's mecca). So of course it has been coined Mt. Chipotle, and some amazing UVA students have started a website to track the melting progress. These brilliant students are studying the mountain and doing experiments (which I imagine has booze involved). If you read their blog, they are accepting papers to be peer reviewed on any hypotheses related to the melting of Mt. Chipotle, and apparently working to set up a ski resort.

Got to love their creativity:
