TW> Actually in Snow Country they shouuld NEVER allowed using Salt on the   
   TW> streets   
      
    MH> That would help, but you would still eventually get rust from   
    MH> moisture in general.  The salt just makes it happen faster.     
      
   not only that, the salt kills the grasses and other plants along the   
   roadways... my friend lost their entire yard from the salt wash that came down   
   the hill into their yard from the roads... it killed the grasses as well as   
   their trees...   
      
    MH> Our county used to use sand, but has started to use salt like the   
    MH> rest of the state.     
      
   bad bad bad... but folks don't stop to think about things like the above until   
   it happens to them or their family and then they raise all kinds of cain about   
   it...
