You're lucky, Hunny. Here in Maine we'd much rather have no salt on the road except on those rare occasions when it's glare ice. But for normal snowstorms we'd be happier with plain snow, which we all know how to drive in. But nobody asked us, they just started doing it ten years or so ago, and now every time it snows the roads are pretreated with brine and become a sloppy, slippery mess and everybody's cars rust out if they don't get undercoating yearly. Another example where they just can't leave well enough alone.
