Science 101

Earlier this week one of the weather guys over the river in Buffalo, where they know a thing or two about snow, was musing about the problems they're facing in Boston. There has been so much snow in Beantown over the last two weeks that the city is running out of places to put it, so they're thinking of dumping some of it in the ocean.

Of course, said Buffalo guy, they have to be careful about that because of all the road-clearing chemicals that have been ploughed up with the snow, "especially sodium chloride".

Well, quite. It certainly wouldn't do to make the sea salty, would it?
