NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) - The salt shortage persists in New Jersey. Officials have failed to get permission for a barge with 40 tons of salt to set sail for the tristate region
Angel Morales, a resident of Jersey City says her car just wont go anywhere.
Look, you see I went up and I started sliding back, she said.

Christy Did It.
40 tons x 2000 = 80,000 lbs
80,000 lbs / 45 (c.f. per pound salt, granulated, piled)= 1,777.77 c.f.
1,777.77 / 27 = 65.84 cu. yds = 5 dump trucks at the least.
It doesn’t snow in Atlanta, except for when it does.
Try reading the article. The shortage is being caused by a 1920 Federal Maritime Law.
Wake up New Jersey, Obama is screwing with you.
Maritime laws that are causing this problem have been on the books forever... I suspect “homeland’ wants bribes...
Salt shortage in New Jersey?
What, did Christie order a T-bone and mashed potatoes?
Gee, I miss living back East...
Who actually uses salt anymore? Here in PA they use Sand Cinder.
U could say they aren’t used to it but half of Atlanta is Yankee now
The other half black
Southern whites retreated to the woods and mountains
I’m only half kidding
Atlanta is hilly...and it ices given the latitude
He is 18 by Rutgers? Always was horrible.
The US GOVERNMENT did it!................
Pretty obvious what’s going on here- the administration is trying to stick it to Krispy Kreme (and is probably trying to make him cough up some info about the bridge closings in return for salt deliveries). It’s stuff like this that shows why the GOP-e should be as terrified of what’s going on with this lawless administration as everybody else is (and should accordingly, take action against it)- and yet, this is their own favorite candidate, and they still don’t get it...
It may be Long Tons, metric 1000 kg................
Don’t know but as the crow flies that is near me.
This stuff is going to melt and when it does I hope we don’t get major flooding.
I did. Lots of barges available, as are RR cars.
Bad planning because there are no personal consequences for such issues.
Joisey should hurt because stupid must hurt if learning is to be sought by the stupid.
They DO embrace the suck. Stuck on stupid should be joisey’s motto!
Ah, War Daddy, my pal! I was just joshing about my southern pals. Take care and don’t let the northern bastards get you down. I’m on your side, you know.
So NJ can’t get salt for its weather emergency because of what’s commonly known as the Jones Act. An act which the President has the authority to suspend in special cases; an authority used by several presidents over the years. So why doesn’t Gov. Christy call up his good buddy weather rescuer and ask him to do what he does best, suspend another law? Might it be that the protecting maritime unions is more important than protecting those icebound in NJ?
I know
And we do drive like crap in the snow
Not me of course....lol
I drive like hell.
Far different..
