Wait. Hold the salt Seasoning comes in many forms. But when wintertime has you wishing all that snow and ice and slush away, salt offers the allure of a (relatively) easy solution for your slippery driveway and walkways. For decade upon decade, salting snow and ice has been considered among the most effective (and cheapest) options for preventing slips, falls, and spinning tires. But there are hidden dangers in using this condiment-in a-bag. As reported by Realtor.com’s Madeline Bilis, Boston-based Realtor Kate Ziegler says that salt can be very helpful, but only in certain conditions. “Salt works at melting icy surfaces when combined with warmer ground temperatures, sunshine, or friction from traffic,” she explains. “But if it’s very cold and heavy snow is forecasted, salt will do very little beyond making its way into your snowbanks when you eventually clear the driveway.” In other words, she says, the colder the temperature, the less effective salting your driveway will be. When you get down to temperatures of around 15 degrees or lower, rock salt is basically useless. If your asphalt driveway is in good condition, it might be relatively immune to salting. If, however, your asphalt driveway is starting to deteriorate, salting can make things worse. And if your driveway is made of concrete, brick, or gravel, salting will almost certainly cause corrosion. And your car? Since rock salt is especially damaging to metal, it’s best to park your car in the garage before salting. Reach out for more!
