I just copied this out of our local paper, there telling what there preparations are for this afternoons snow and sleet.
Check out the salt and salt brine, you southern boys do have the nicer cars to pick from for sure.
================================================== ===


n preparation for the storm, crews installed warning posts to avoid accidents while plowing and spread a salt brine mix on overpasses to prevent freezing, Behnke said.

Crews could end up spreading from 300 to 600 pounds of salt per lane mile depending on how much snow comes down, he said.

"We might have to turn right around if it refreezes and have the trucks reload and put another application on," he said.

Crews will monitor conditions on Interstate 43 and salt and plow it "right away" as snow falls, he said.

State and county roads will be plowed going one way and plowed and salted on the way back. A typical plow route takes two hours to complete, he said.

"If we get things cleaned up on one path, then we will go on standby or if it keeps accumulating will have them keep running their routes," he said.

Behnke has simple advice for motorists today.

"By all means if they don't have to travel … stay home."

Yes but what's the challenge in restoring a rust-free car?;)

yeah, I'd be done with mine already

Salt Brine?

Salt Brine?

In most cases its rock salt prewetted.

Michigan offers a service where you can drive your car through a salt brine bath and have the crap sprayed into every crevice of the vehicle. It saves having to splash through all that road slush.

I thought before the late 70's Detroit automakers saved you the trouble by dipping bare bodies in salt brine before the primer was applied.;)

I've heard they even started using calcium chloride vs. sodium chloride (salt). CaCl can drop the freezing temp., and from what I hear is much more corrosive.

If the salt is blue it will eat thru!:D

ahhhh come on guys ......... we all know its just a ploy to sell Hennys roofing Tar & chicken wire ....... ROFLMAO !!!

Where I live in Kansas thank God they only put down chat.

Around here, they tried calcium chloride. When the spray off the tires blew into the trees along the side of the road, the evergreens just plain browned up. Not good. I think they have gone back to plain old sodium chloride. They also use brine on the major highways and it seems to work pretty well.
