Yet, the effect of road salt usage isn't all good. Salt is corrosive especially to cars and we see this by the increasing numbers of rusting, salt encrusted hulks skidding and sliding along the artificially slushy roads. When the last of winter's snow finally recedes, many are the homeowners who note the existence of a brown line of dead grass or whatever foliage they have growing bordering their property. That's salt damage.
The weather right now is getting nicer and nicer (we were really getting quite hot coming home from running errands) and the temptation to bring out the trikes is becoming quite strong. But, until the snow is completely gone and we get a really good spring rain-shower to give the roads a final cleaning up (at least until next winter), we will just have to be patient.
*********************************
EDIT: Patience pays off - maybe
According to the weather forecast, especially on The Weather Network (TWN), we can expect a really good couple of days of rain later this week. We only need one half-way decent rainshower to wash away the salty remnants before we can hit the road...
