I know spring seasons following snowy winters generally have lower bay and inshore water temps due to snow melt, but this year I've seen more salt and chemicals put on the roads than I ever recall seeing, and we've got more coming. For the first time ever, the tap water at my home and work have a salty taste to them, and I live and work right near the Raritan River. There was even a site-wide e-mail at my company saying that the tap water at work has a salty taste and higher-than-normal salt content, and it's a result of the road salt seeping into the underground aquifer our local drinking water comes from. Since we're so close to the Raritan River, I assume it will affect the big water, as well.

So, I'm assuming we'll have a spring season marked by low water temps in the bay, but will the increased salinity maybe cause problems for inshore stripers, who spawn upriver in more brackish water? Think any other species might be affected by this?
