[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 675884, member: 11791"] Salt works to about -5F. Below that... there's some new chemical stuff that works to maybe -15F. And then... it's just ice. HOT sand is used at critical intersections, because it melts into the ice, but it's the only thing that works at -40, and even then the trucks have to go back with partial loads because the sand loses heat too fast in the back of the truck. Lets just say that -40 is really cold, no matter how you look at it! (And I'm not even in the really cold parts of this continent... Some places, you get in a fender bender and there is no dent, just a major hole... the metal shatters like glass.) [/QUOTE]
