I use Sea Salt now as it has less sodium.

Same here Pittsburgh and most of PA.
Last night we got hit with rain/snow and ice. Roads were a mess but passable.
This winter sucks.

40 tons of salt

40 tons? Jeez, that's enough to fill up a short handful of dumptrucks.

I'm thinking misprint, don't editors exist anymore? I'd take this number with a grain of salt.

Maybe Holder will investigate the Salt Shortage in NJ while he is digging through all their emails.

Notice that Holder himself ignores subpenas issued to him.

The most dangerous thing on the road in a winter storm - cars with Jersey plates. Worst. winter. drivers. ever.

There’s not enough salt in the world...

Know someone who contracts with the state of NJ for plowing
and salting roads

Cant find any salt - was in Philly and Deleware last week looking for some

“Look, you see I went up and I started sliding back,” she said.

Yes let's make fun of southerners because they can't drive on ice. OH Wait, NJ is NOT a southern state.

Tell christie to stop sprinkling it on his food.

Live by the Regulatory Regime, suffer the consequences.

Had “Joisey” not gone Democommie long ago, they could have gotten the salt they need.

Let ‘em slide off the road into the ditch where they can freeze for all the rest of America cares.

Check Christi’s garage....

Get a bag of oil dry (available at auto parts stores) or a bag of kitty litter (same clays in both, only oil dry doens't have the stuff to keep your cat happy) and sprinkle it on the ground in front of your tires. Go real easy on the pedal and keep the car in low gear ("1" on the PRND321). It won't move fast, but it should start moving. Drive gently, no sudden speeding up or slowing down or turns (sudden changes in speed or direction cause you to lose traction), and you should do okay.

Sand is better on the road for traction, Salt just eats your car, promoting corrosion. (We don't use salt on the roads in North Dakota, and our vehicles last a lot longer as a result.)

Bush Did It.

Christy Did It.

[bmwcyle]

Wake up New Jersey, Obama is screwing with you.

[GOPJ]

Maritime laws that are causing this problem have been on the books forever... I suspect “homeland’ wants bribes...

[Buckeye McFrog]

Salt shortage in New Jersey?

What, did Christie order a T-bone and mashed potatoes?

[Qbert]

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...

[JohnBovenmyer]

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?

[GeronL]

How can a coastal place ever run out of salt? :p
