They pretreated the interstates and other major roads with brine here...

...but for some reason, they dumped a lot of salt (& sand?) on secondary streets for some unknown reason. All they needed to do was run a plow down the street, and that probably wasn't even necessary for most streets. But once again, they went on these secondary streets and just dumped a pile of sald (& sand?) where it really wasn't needed. We'll be stuck with this crap for weeks until we get enough rain to wash it away. Frankly it's time for the "street sweeper" trucks to be deployed everywhere that crap was dumped.

They've mostly switched to pretreating with brine here in Maryland.**

When life gives you salt, make margaritas.
