[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that would help considerably is much more aggressive salting before during and after the event.  This area doesn’t do that.  [/quote]

Because 80% of the time we have rain which washes it all to the Bay. [/quote]

Yes, I understand the reason we don't use the salt.  This stuff is a tradeoff.  Possibly when the severity of the event is known and predicted well ahead of time (as this was) and the tricky conditions are known well ahead of time in terms of removal (as this was) well maybe they make a different calculation.  Or maybe not.

My thought is only I don't think discussion should be shouted down and nobody is supposed to ask questions or have any critical thought.  [/quote]

Salting the roads in advance only works in certain circumstances.

More aggressive salting would have helped overall in this situation.  But they also have to have the salt, somewhere to store the salt, and the proper vehicles to dump the salt.[/quote]

Temps were too low.

There are products beyond rock salt that can push effectiveness into colder temps.  It's silly to debate this just google the topic if interested.  You really think some of these colder areas in the US do not face this issue and have solutions?  Of course they do.[/quote]

The other areas of US buy a fleet of heavy snow moving equipment, dump trucks, bobcat plows, to manage the snow. We aren’t going to make that investment for snow every 5 years. [/quote]
