Default Icy Roads.

With winter now upon us and for those out there who get bad weather,what do they put down on the roads when they get icy? Here they used to use rock salt but have now changed to a brine based liquid that dries on contact.Aint worth **** if rains though.

Sand and salt up in the Seirra Nevada Mountains.

Does wonders for your paint and chrome if you like that pitted, rusty look.

Salt, sand, the brine mix. You can go across the county and run into any one of them.
