I’m old enough to remember when we used SALT on the roads to prevent this crap. But then that was before the Left took over.

They starting using brine to salt the main roads here in the Baltimore metro area several years ago. It works pretty well. Guess I’m not sorry I don’t have old Porsches as daily drivers anymore.

Had a kid get his degree at an Iowa school. I-35 and I-80 have this stuff all the time and had it back in the 80s and 90s as well. When it really starts coming down in Iowa, give it up, you should not be driving.

Really can’t bust the chops of the Iowa DOT. This storm hit quick and hard. This was approximately 1 hour after it started snowing, and over an inch of snow in that time.

I'm old enough to remember when we used studded tires and chains, and went light on the salt, because it eats up roads and rusts out cars. Illinois was wretched on my old cars, and I do NOT miss the salt.
