{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Salting Roads

All of this is quite interesting.  I grew up in Richmond where even a whisper of snow caused store shelves to be cleared.  

Both of my parents grew up in upstate NY with lake effect snow.  It was hammered into me from a young age that the key is SLOW.  It's nothing against my other lifelong Virginians, but it does truly amaze me watching some of them peel out of the parking lot and not adjust the way they drive.  If I had a dollar for how many times I've heard "I have 4-wheel drive"

Well, maybe with investment in updating infrastructure we will look into heated roads ;)

I, like most around the district, love to be able to get to work safely, but there has to be a better way to deal with snow and ice.  Offer employer incentives to encourage remote work, remote work, sand/gravel (may not actually be any better)...????

"In our area, polluted runoff that carries road salt into rivers and streams is largely to blame. Despite receiving only 3 inches of snow this season, crews in the District have laid down over 15 tons of rock salt and 290,000 gallons of salt brine. And that's just this year."

Excessive don't you think?
