Rock salt and/or brine are used here in Ottawa Canada, depending on temperature. They use the brine before the snowfall to keep it from freezing to the road, then dry salt during the snowfall to keep it flowing. When it is all over and the roads dry out, we are left with finely powders salt - the roads are white and the dust billows up wiht traffic. When the temperature gets to low for salt to work, they spread sand or stone grit.

Man, we are experiencing a frigid west wind tonight - we went out for dinner and almost froze just walking into the Texas Roadhouse! It says it's 28* but that wind feels more like 2.8*!

Weather.com says wind chill is currently 9, that seems about right! West winds of 22 gusting to 35MPH

I mean, I know it's winter and all, but whew it's cold taking da boiz out to do their bidness.....
Complete failure at retirement - but getting better!
