Chemicals can be added to the salt to make it work at even lower temperatures but either way being proactive beats being reactive.

I’m not sure how low those work, but the pretreatment could get washed away by the rain if it is heavy enough. I couldn’t see where any ore treatment had taken place yesterday or this morning when I was out and about. Either way, I won’t have any trouble because I’m staying home.

Weinberg has adjusted his snow totals a bit. Along and north of 64, as far east as 65 (so mainly southern Indiana and Louisville) is in a 3-6" range. Everywhere else is still 2-4".
