If only there was a cheap, readily available substance that could de-ice roads without toxic, radioactive chemicals...
oh wait
Having lived in Tulsa, where they use sand, and Chicago, where they use salt, they're both a nightmare.
One July I almost wiped out my motorcycle on the previous winter's sand. Once in Florida, I had to ditch my old Chicago van because the entire underside was corroded out, gone.
Another thing about salty areas, you never see really old cars. Only way to keep your car going is to constantly use the under wash option at the car wash. And do it religiously.
