The curious thing is that they use salt at all.I once worked in an
Alcoa plant in Massena,NY. In that county,they use a small amount of salt
with the balance being
cinders.Great Traction! Here they use salt with a small amount of
sand.Terrible traction because
of the slush salt creates.Since the salt raises the melting point,it stays
liquid longer making
for treacherous driving.Add to that the HUGE amounts of spray created by
Semi's,SUV's and
HUGE pickups,(Dodge,Chevy and Ford),makes driving at rush hour a real
treat.(Whatever happened to mudflaps?)
