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 salt40 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...

NY has an essentially unlimited supply of rock salt. Most of the central tier of NY has salt beds 300+ feet think under it. All they have to do is dig a hole down to it and dig it out.

Yup. Where I went to school in Livingston county, you could look out the windows and see the piles and piles and piles of salt at the Retsof Salt mine. My old man used to drive the trucks on and off.
IIRC that deposit is thought to be the second biggest salt deposit in the world, there is one somewhere on South America bigger.

Thanks for the tip about 287. Hope you got to where you needed to go safe.

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.

Gee, I think Atlantans proved this year to be pretty lousy winter drivers. And pretty easily scared, too!

287 is the worst road in NJ. The only accident I’ve had in 40 years happened there.
To: GladesGuru
For a state which 1/2 of which is sand, I’m failing to understand what their slippery roads problem may be?

Check Christi’s garage....
To: Biggirl
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.)

There is a salt mine here in Western NY.
Get a dump truck and drive it a few hours up the road.
Plenty of salt to go around
