I don’t remember, really. It wasn’t like the kind of granularized stuff they used to use. Just some kind of liquid that had a lot of salt in it.

I believe some places use sea water.
They use that brine garbage here in TN. It goes down wet but dries into slightly granular salt. I suppose it works to some degree because they keep using it, but I haven’t seen great results. If they managed to put any down around Atlanta, it doesn’t appear it did any good. That ice looked pretty thick so the brine may not have been enough to deal with it.
What’s bad is when they put it down and we don’t get any precipitation. The salt is on the roads and when cars drive over it, the tires kick salt dust into the air. Breathing that stuff is awful and it messes up folks’ sinuses and lungs. No telling what the health risks are in the long run. Can’t be good. I just know it makes my sinuses bleed and my lungs feel like they’re on fire.
They’ve put it down twice around here in the past week and we barely got a dusting of snow either time. We need a good rain to wash the junk away. We’re miserable and even our cats are having problems.
