It's not even salt anymore. It's a liquid mix that gets put down days before the snow. It doesn't matter if there is 1" or 173" annually. The schit get poured out constantly. You don't have to believe me. But I know right now, the roads are pure white from the chemicals they pour down. And will be til April.

I get that. But when the salt gets laid down daily it effects how fast your vehicle rots out. The liquid stuff is mag chloride and its much more gentle on steel than sodium chloride MI uses.
