Maybe they're worried about flooding the people right around the bodies of water by dumping all the snow there at once, as opposed to the trickle-melt we get as the sun comes out. It makes the most sense to me, but I'm not sure I get why we can't dump it in the ocean. How many tons of New England snow would it take to flood the ocean?
