A 10-ton ice cube was recently placed in Seattle as part of an art festival. It’s an interesting science problem to estimate when it’s going to finish melting. Weather professor Cliff Mass has a couple posts about it:

My guess is November 26, but I’m probably way off.
You might remember an old post about a snowman I created in 1994. That one lived from January 23 through March 22, 1994 (58 days.) What’s your guess?
