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

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. ;-)


Traveling Sowff, throw the shovel out when you stop seeing snow. I
was told that about my former snow plow - drop it an disconnect it.

Nah, it makes a great long-handled dust pan. After I use it I go
inside and call the kid and razz him about having to shovel snow.

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.

Must be a hardware store. Rock salt is used for making ice cream in
the Sowff. It's not a miff, er, myth.

No, this was the ice-melt variety. Again, I can't remember where I
saw it but I did get a chuckle.
