Funny reading this from the British point of view.

Global Warming?

Don’t most American cities just wait a day or two?

> Baltimore ploughed snow right into the city’s Inner Harbor. While this may seem like a no-brainer for cities near water, the practice is frowned upon for environmental reasons.

If it were rain, it would get there anyway, so why not just dump it.

After two back-to-back massive storms in 2010, Baltimore ploughed snow right into the city's Inner Harbor. While this may seem like a no-brainer for cities near water, the practice is frowned upon for environmental reasons.

What's wrong with combining one form of water with another?

[Professional Engineer]

Reduce, reuse, recycle of course.

[UCANSEE2]

An interesting dilemna. Having too much frozen water laying around.

[Jonty30]

Don’t most Americans, after it has snowed an inch or two, just huddle in their abodes with their guns at their sides and wait for the starving hordes to bash down the door, only to realize the snow has already melted?

Quit being deniers....

[MountainDad]

Around here, we wait for warm temps, and it magically melts....

Sacrifices to the Sun God.

I always liked how some commentator referred to Washington, DC’s snow removal plan: Spring.

[C210N]

My local big-government liberal town just makes the piles on the sides of the roads bigger and taller. Then, upon the first warm spell with temps in the 70's, end of March or start of April, they send out front-end loaders and dump trucks and haul the melting snow away.

Something to do with using up the year's snow removal budget, I suppose.

I don’t know why Boston wouldn’t dump the snow straight into the harbour. For one, I can’t imagine that the harbour is that pristine that whatever might be in the snow would be a major detriment to it. Also, wherever they pile the snow, when it finally melts I bet it goes in to the storm sewers, which probably go straight into the harbour too.

[PGalt]

Pass a law.

[Chickensoup]

In the old days they used put it in the harbor....but with global warming you know...

[rabidralph]

They should load it on trains and send it out West to some low lakes and what-not. Or build a water pipeline to the West.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

The snow should be stored in a giant cooler and rationed to the poor in summer.
