Where To Put All the Snow

Dad29 reminds us of how idiotic some regulations can be. 

The City finally sent out crews with front-end loaders and dump trucks, ripped the snow from curbside, and dumped the snow where it would go away peacefully.

The rivers—Menomonee, KK, and Milwaukee, were the recipients of the snow.

These days, the City still uses the front-end loaders and dump trucks. But they cannot put the snow in the river. Noooooooooosireeeeeee!

Damn Near Russia (DNR/Wisconsin) put a halt to that ugly and horrific practice. Can’t have that filthy dirty snow in our Lake, right?

Now the City piles the snow under the Hoan Bridge at the harbor.

That way, when it melts, (June or so) it will drain….

....right into Lake Michigan, just like before.

1. The only difference will be that the solid particles will not go into the the lake.  Like sand.  Ooops, doesn’t the lake already have sand in it?

2. In mpls they use a huge snow melter.
   In the big mall parking lots were there is no room to put snow, they have a melter that heats up the snow and steam pours out of the top.
   and the water goes down in the sewer.
   interesting
   would that be global warming, man made heat?
   there was an article in one of the papers if you want to see the giant machine
