How's the Weather Today?

Dave, your Beetle pulling out fromunder 3 feet of powdered snow reminded me of this:

[Dan Moffet]

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.
