I am sooooo happy that that picture is not anywhere near where I live. I can't imagine that much white crap.
OK, off topic of you post but related:
I do have one real question. In Boston I heard they are not allowed to dump that snow in the ocean because of possible contamination. I get that. Sometime this summer all of that will have melted and all of it will flow into the ocean. Some will have to go through a lot of rivers first but that means the same contamination is just spread out to the rivers and then the ocean.
I have no idea on how the runoff in Boston is handled but I feel sure 100% of the runoff goes into the ocean. Why not just dump the snow in the ocean?
