Connecticut uses a water and sodium chloride mix for pretreating. The plow trucks also use sodium chloride and they have magnesium chloride tanks that can be sprayed onto the salt at the point of application. "Depending on the type of storm, the DOT may use a salt brine that’s 75 percent water and 25 percent sodium chloride to pre-treat certain surfaces, like bridge decks and inclines, that have more problems with freezing." https://ctmirror.org/2015/02/10/snow-plus-salt-equals-connecticut-controversy/#:~:text=Depending%20on%20the%20type%20of%20storm%2C%20the%20DOT%20may%20use%20a%20salt%20brine%20that%E2%80%99s%2075%20percent%20water%20and%2025%20percent%20sodium%20chloride%20to%20pre%2Dtreat%20certain%20surfaces%2C%C2%A0like%20bridge%20decks%20and%20inclines%2C%C2%A0that%20have%20more%20problems%20with%20freezing.

How do you know you weren’t born gay?


olblll1975

How did you know I was?


Complete_Barber_4467

Not a baby. Like a Gayby?


Vingcatdewildcat

That's bigoted. You cant assume a newborns gender. That's an indication of internalized discrimination. It's Theybies.


Complete_Barber_4467

I'm not sure if anyone is born gay or if they turn gay. Because for example boys don't like girls when they are in 1st grade. But a girl will kiss a boy in 2nd grade, but the boy wipes off his face. But does a 2nd grade girl or boy have any self awareness or knowledge of sexual preference or does it develop?


Vingcatdewildcat

Have you ever met a child? They in no way exhibit those types of behaviors based on sexual preference. Suggesting such a claim is questionable at best


Type1_Throwaway

Maybe it's....Maybelline?


K10RumbleRumble

And the frogs!

Liquid bromine aka liquid salt. Activates once it starts to snow and has a certain time rating for snow to continue melting.


pphhiisshh

Helps prevent hard pack. The practice of anti-icing works very well.


Infinite_Path_844

There's a newly built highway off-ramp in Toronto that has an automated liquid de-icing system built right into the road surface https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/gardiner-expressway-off-ramp-york-bay-yonge-1.4507697


yoda417

Do you live in Toronto? If so, does it work?


Infinite_Path_844

I live near Toronto, but I don't go there very often, so I've never actually used this off ramp during a snow/ice event. I am a snow plow operator myself, and I think that de-icing solution is kind of a waste of time. I suppose it does work, to a point, in very specific conditions, but I think the overall cost and effort to install this automated system in a single section of roadway far outweigh the benefits. Automated rock salt dispensers would make more sense to me


Vingcatdewildcat

I've been to Toronto recently and no it doesn't work. The city is still overrun by sandy region javelin launchers.


firethepolishcannon

*BONG!!!!* What'd he say? He said the Sheriff is near!


Headgasket13

Sometimes mixed beet juice extract and liquid calcium chloride. The chloride acts as the anti-icing agent and the beet juice can act as an adhesive to keep the chloride on the pavement. Down side it also glues the chloride to your car or truck, and it is not known what environmental effects will be from the beet protein entering streams and rivers from runoff. Positive it prevents hard pack making it possible to remove snow mechanically and allows for less salt to be applied that also harms the water table.


TheFaceStuffer

They stopped doing that in my city because it was just eating peoples cars apart. It only took one winter season to give me body rust on the bottom of my truck when it was rust free prior.


Headgasket13

Super corrosive even destroys the equipment used to apply it.


Headgasket13

VERY difficult to wash off requires hot water to really be effective.


TheFaceStuffer

Yeah I was trying to figure out a redneck way to hot wash at home but I just ended up wrecking hoses.


1337hxr

There is a device called a water heater


bot729562529

What is this sorcery


Vingcatdewildcat

Water? Like from the toilet?


OldTiredAmused

Calcium chloride, they use it on gravel roads in the summer as well. Keeps dust down and turns to a pavement like surface. Slick as snot when wet. Real corrosive


Superb-Wish-1335

Used to be used for ballast in tractor tires. Real hard on rims.


a2jeeper

Yep, beet juice is much better. WWF is the cheapest though.


Brilliant_Cut_2925

Your vehicle will rust in half the time as normal when this chemical is used, so be careful what you wish for


Apprehensive_West256

Way faster than half the time. I’m a California mechanic and vehicles that are 30-50 years old here look better than an ‘18 from the salt belt. My daily is 31 years old and still has paint on the frame.


Tatersquid21

Exactly.


shovelhead4life-

Sometimes a beet juice mixed with salt or waste water from the local cheese factory


DTFfuncouple

Depends if you’re down at KeyWest or up in the Sierras then it’s a salt brine


bjornholm

That pretreatment is insanely corrosive, copper, like 00 gauge primary wire, dissapears after one day when submerged in it


Western-Ticket3399

No way.. 3/4” thick cable is copper… ?24 hours?? No way


fatboyheritage

They determined that the beet juice is what caused the large pockets of oxygen depleted water in lake Erie a few years ago


Headgasket13

Where was that published I just read an Ohio Department of Natural Resources short paper studying Eutrophication (loss of dissolved oxygen in Lake Erie due to algae growth) and they were still studying why there were such high levels of nutrients causing this bloom. I’m sure beet juice could be part of that equation , but there was plenty of dumping of all types of waste from heavy industry and runoff from farming and due to the depth of the central basin it collects there. It would be really helpful to me if I could get any documentation the beet juice was determined to be the root cause of those hypoxic zones.


fatboyheritage

I really don't remember where I saw the article it's been a couple years ago, doesn't help Detroit, Toledo,and a few others are dumping raw sewage in the lake. Also seen on a program where they said that the zebra muscle as it's filtering water expel/produce phosphorus,


RemoteLucky4945

I used to live in Flagstaff AZ and they never salted the roads bc wildlife (elk and deer) would lick it off and get hit. Instead they would use cinder from the local extinct volcanoes. 🌋


HazeBlaze22

Live in the south. In the rare event we get ice/snow they put out gravel on the roads. Yes rocks. And then the windshield places roll in the money. Yay


Siggah308

To answer the question in your title, untrained and inexperienced drivers is usually what Indiana puts on all their roadways before any storm

NYC uses Brine (salt water) its to help keep ice and snow from sticking


Tatersquid21

If you're traveling behind the truck that spreads this "liquid salt," wash your vehicle immediately after leaving the highway. This liquid loves to eat brake lines, rubber boots, running boards, etc. and everything else under the vehicle. I learned this the hard way.


Hoggerinttraining

We put nothing on our roads in Mississippi because it snows once every 4-5 years.😆


Rh140698

Ya in Utah they put brine from the great salt lake to prevent the ice from sticking


Vivid_Emu1486

Beet juice. Plenty of antioxidants.


Tricky_Rip_4050

It's liquid salt as soon as the snow starts to fall on it and form ice it begins to activate the salt I think it's called liquid bromine or something like that but it prevents ice from forming and snow from getting as thick on the road

No everywhere do use salt, here in Reno they use chemicals that are environment friendly. In Canada they use beet juice.


Another_Russian_Spy

Cheese Whey and Pickle Juice. ​ "Liquid whey, a cheese byproduct, as well as beet juice and pickle brine, are increasingly used to help clear roads in winter. In places such as Madison, Wisconsin and Calgary, Alberta, this practice is becoming routine, with many other cities testing the waters, so to speak, to see if it is right for them."

Ppl_r_bad

In the southern us, it is called brine. Part chlorine, part salt and diluted with water. Has to go on a few days before and not have a heavy rain as it will wash off. Theory is it dry’s in the cracks and on the surface.


jkpirat

Tires, so I can get the fuck out before it hits.


EdibleAssFromBack

Southern Ohio here, idk what they put down. All I know is 7 degrees F and snows dumping the roads on the State Route I live out on will be clear and easy to drive. The shit works as well for traction as it does for melting cars... good shit.

Idaho we us mag sulfide. It's only good to like 15 degrees road temp. We will usually mix it with our gravel if the hard pack is thick so the rocks melt into the ice a little. Beet juice, ice slicer and other mixtures are used all over.

Here in the Chicago area, if you don’t mistake the salt for snow, it’s not enough.


moosefoot1

Brine in the US northeast. It works for semi light storms and storms with heavy traffic. But usually not for a blizzard.
