Hey, Northerners: Here is what you need to deal with your excess snow! Apparently it can double as a weed-whacker. Er, weed-burner. For when you really do have a scorched earth policy.

In a similar vein, I recently wondered why cities don't just collect the worst of the snow and dump it into a convenient lake/river/ocean, but I suppose there's salt and motor oil and whatnot in it that the fish wouldn't appreciate. Though maybe if you could run it through a wastewater plant first or something...

We used to do that, but with the amount of industrial work that goes on and the pollution that cities accumulate, it's illegal to dump snow into the water supply.

I think the difference is if they can see it happening, it's illegal. If not, then, welp-- All storm drains lead to the ocean.

But snow does make things very inconvenient, not to mention the fact that I am very tired of the cold.

I think you're right.

I am so ready for spring. We don't usually get snow every week, dear god.

I the snow is really the inconvenient part. I hate the cold, but the snow makes it unpleasant. It's all iced over and there are mounds of dirty coldness everywhere. Urban snow is grossnifying.
