I came home yesterday to my house in southern NH and had to plow my driveway again. Another 4” of snow had fallen over the weekend when we were out of town.

I threw down some ice melter (rock salt and magnesium chloride) on the driveway and sidewalk. I looked out this morning to realize it had not done much. That is because those products to not MELT ice at less than 10 degrees F.
You have to use Calcium Chloride in temperatures below zero.

Driving back yesterday on I89 from VT into NH ever car was just GREY/black. Covered with road rash/salt/dirt. Some so much that you could not read their license plates.
It has not been above 32 degrees here for most of the last month. It has not rained here since the week prior to Christmas. ALL Snow. Light fluffy cold temperature snow.

I currently have about a 2’ feet covering my property.
4’ or more in drift areas. The piles at the ends of my driveway are now 8’ high and deep. After I shovel and plow with my tractor, it then blows back in because of the high winds too.
