Really, "solar salt" does a really crappy job of melting snow. Tried

Good to know. Now I know why I don't live in a heavy snow area
anymore...

I've known for some time. If I ever wonder, I go into the garage and
take a quick look at my snow shovel. ;-)

Out here in the West, I'm not sure one can buy rock salt like used up
Nawth. At least in any large quantity.

I've seen it here in the Sowth but I can't remember where or why. It
does get icy every few years but everyone just sleeps in.
