Hi Penny,
Don't know about Rochester but Toronto had lines of trucks filled
with snow that needed to be dumped.
I understood Kays explanation and that explains the fish kill in the
spring. Never had figured that out before. I thank you Kay!!
I think if they were allowed to dump in the great lakes it would be
mega- amounts of snow. . .particularly this winter . . .and the salt
and oil and general road debris would be considerable. Even our
little town of Peterborough which doesn't move that much snow off
the road has a large field where they dump the snow and it takes till
june sometimes for the mountains to melt . . . . nothing grows in that
field in the summer so that should tell us something.
