Re: weather

Here the city uses salt and the county uses sand.

they still use it in parts of the North East I'm told.  It's murder on the
environment, critters, roads & cars.  Dad hates it.

Still use salt here, though for a couple of years they have tried another
substance that hasn't worked very well.
This weather gets crazier and crazier.  All you folks who usually have
milder weather are getting the nasty stuff and it has been in the 60s
here today. Earlier in the day it was quite nice, but later this afternoon 
it has begun to drizzle.  Now the sun is down and it's still 59 degrees.
Supposed to get colder later this week, but this is wild. It was said to
be the warmest Dec. 15 on record.

No salt used here either, but didn't find that odd at all. I thought the use of salt for ice/snow had been illegal for decades?? I know in Germany 
it
was made illegal to use salt on the roads and sidewalks 20+ years ago, due 
to
the harm to the environment, dog's feet, etc.
