Speaking of water - at this time of year most of it is frozen and not where it should be (that is, on a mountain or in a lake or sea). Piles like this are bulldozed up and then taken by truck to the water to be dumped. The upside is that the whole city doesn't suffer some kind of snow-induced traffic aneurysm. The downside is that the snow goes into the water without passing any water treatment plant, which is the normal procedure, taking with it dirt, oil and other pollutants that one finds on city streets.
