>>16211708
They use salt because you choose to live in an area that melts and refreezes constantly. Out here we get literal feet before we even pay attention and all they use is gravel. Why? Because when our shit melts it stays melted.

The real question is wtf would you keep living there?

One of the only benefits living in Phoenix is winter weather is almost non existent.

good luck freezing salty water. I mean it can happen but only way below the freezing point of regular water.

By going down just 7 degrees below freezing, you reduce the effectiveness of road salt by 325%.

Why do counties salt roads knowing it causes long-term damage to vehicles?
Why haven't we thought of a different solution to snowy icy roads in 2016 other than gravel,salt, and chains?

It saves trips you're welcome for keeping the streets safe faggots

its okay, just buy a car wash pass and wash 'ike every few days.

around -20C salt water will freeze easily. It also doesn't do jack shit to melt snow or ice

>>16211964
That's why many areas are starting to use beet juice on the high traffic roads. Only problem is it's pretty expensive so it'll never actually replace salt

>>16211788
Windshields can be replaced. Corroding frames cannot.

I drive my ranger in the snow every year, if you're scared of rusting out, spray down everything with rust converter and undercoat the shit out of it.

>All salt does is melt the snow and then it turns to ice, which is worse.

Generally, no. Normally, if you live in a place with more than one plow truck, the salt melts the snow, the plows shove the slush somewhere, the slush turns to water, then the water evaporates off, and then the roads are dry.

I've yet to see salt turn snow into ice. I've seen rain turn into ice. I've seen packed snow turn into ice. I've seen salt just not work at all. I've seen brine turn packed snow into something very much like ice, but probably not actual ice. But I have yet to see a salt application turn snow into ice.

Just another reminder that farenheit is one very fucking retarded way to measure temprature.
