Greetings, delicious, greetings!
Wanted to pop with this info in case someone else in interested. For posterity, I decided to keep track of this year's Sackmas events; do tell if you have more accurate data or if something's wrong!

EDIT: Got confirmation that the price increased to 15 today; 4 hours ago, around 7:00 GMT it was 12. Many thanks to idyl for gathering previous years' data! edited by Skinnyman on 1/22/2019

My TtH came this morning (~8 am GMT) with a melting warning: The Neath-snow on roofs and pavements is melting. Hurrying crowds have churned it into slush. Ravens sing. Any Pails of So-Called Snow you possess will melt next week.
So I guess, depending on when your TtH comes, you have a little less than 1 or 2 weeks left. edited by Μαρσ on 1/21/2019

So, from the past three years' data, it appears that the date of the 15-ToL increase follows the pattern of "two Mondays before the end of January".

But from that should I understand that when Noman reaches 15 price is equal to pail melt warning? Yes. The last few years have had the Noman hit 15 the same day that the Urchins stop selling Pails, and any TtH from that point onward will have the melting warning, as Μαρσ received today.

My understanding is that Time the Healer will give you at least one full week of notice before it takes them away. That is to say, you should receive one TtH that includes a warning about melting, before you get hit with a TtH that actually melts.
Probably. That is how I see it as well. So the actual melt date isn't set in stone, since it's dependent on each person's TtH, but the warning seems to start on the same day as Noman 15 and Urchins stopping their sales.

Probably the staff comes in from the weekend and activates all of the End of the Season events (Noman price, Urchins sales, Melt warnings). That way, there's a week of warnings, then a week of melting right before the Wicket wraps up and closes.

The Brass Embassy aren't offering a pail's worth of gear for your soul anymore. Might mean the urchins are off the market too.

I can confirm that the Urchins no longer offer Pails of So-Called Snow for sale.

Probably.

Great one, mate, great one! But from that should I understand that when Noman reaches 15 price is equal to pail melt warning? edited by Skinnyman on 1/21/2019
