Our town stopped using sand a couple of years ago. I wouldn’t have minded some this year on our road. So much ice and they didn’t salt all the time. On the main roads they have been using that calcium chloride solution. First year for that.
I wonder if anyone living in the BOS area will ever see those seasonal snowfall totals ever again in their lifetimes. Maybe if they are super young... but I doubt it Just an epic season. I kiddingly would meh it (I "only" has like 120")
