The abundance of snow has Maryland up against the wall, and it was illegal to dump into the Chesapeake Bay until this recent storm, as officials don’t know what to do with it. It is now legal to do so, and experts say that it should not have a major effect on the salinity of the bay. However, they have said that a heavy rain could melt the snow too quickly, and could cause flooding and other problems. An article on WJZ’s website has more information on this potential problem. I think that it could be slightly premature to say that the immense amount of snow that will be deposited will only have this consequence. Just in case, prepare for extra salty crabs next season.
