Then you haven`t gone over Hwy 80 or 50 in the winter? Caltrans uses it every winter to melt Ice etc...

I worked for Caltrans for 37 years, we used in on Hwy 9, 6 miles on the Santa Cruz side and a Couple miles down the Santa Clara side going to Saratoga, and along Hwy 35 which is Summit Rd.

NDOT in Nevada uses a heavy Brine solution on their roads.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
