I wonder how much energy you have to use to melt the snow versus dumping it in the ocean.
A 350 page cost/benefit analysis and an environmental audit is needed.
Son of a bitch, I did a whole long post about the whys and wheres of ocean dumping complete with a picture a bulldozer climbing Boston's biggest snowpile (roughly 61,933,000 6-inch snowballs), and how I saw one pile at Northeastern University that was still 40 ft high at the end of June.

I must have previewed and never posted... again.
