The snow mound's height is estimated based on comparison with the streetlamp, which is approximately 15-20 feet tall. The mound appears to be of similar height. Assuming a conical shape and a base diameter of roughly 60 feet (matching the height visually), we calculate the volume. Volume ≈ (1/3) × π × (30)² × 20 ≈ 18,850 cubic feet. Using an average density of 18 lbs per cubic foot, the mass is approximately: Mass ≈ 18,850 cubic feet × 18 lbs/cubic foot = ~339,300 lbs ≈ 170 tons. The estimated mass in tons is roughly 150 tons accounting for variations in density and exact shape. The confidence is medium due to reliance on visual estimations.
