Sure it piles up fast , but it melts and compacts faster than a Colts team in Jacksonville . No one likes powder. Not even SpinJ Or the Pats in Miami.

Snow eviscerator is the winds that we've been having. 30-40mph gusts today, With a temp swing like that, you probably could have made syrup from a sap run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaStorm05 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I managed to get out, and sprinkle lots of ice melt on the steps to the apartment and high traveled paths to the parking lot. The management here is lacking in this respect because it’s lower rent. i dont care to learn of someone getting injured on icy stairs on my watch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Finally around 7pm we got up to 32F. Now 33.4F. Quick mix out that hopefully be enough to melt all the black ice around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read today while looking it up that with basic salt you gotta get it on there while it’s still slushy or snow otherwise it requires sunlight to make the salt work. But I’m supposing that the more advanced stuff is more efficient. Still, I have poured table salt on pure ice, in the night, and heard it crackle as it melted. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tavwtby Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 fropa at my door, can feel it, winds shifted to the west and are increasing, artic blast incoming, managed to keep the ground covered here, despite only having about 3 when the day started, not it'll cement in... so looks like I'll be gone for the best stretch of the winter, will be living vicariously through the forum though..

The warmer it is, the better it works due to the thermodynamic equilibrium of the ice. All de-icing chemicals need to be dissolved in water to work.

I see people sprinkling rock salt on their walkways and that’s what I did. And again with my experience sprinkling salt I see it take effect albeit slowly. Meh. I’ve never seen someone mix it with water and then splash it down. Please forgive me but once again I’m confused about this advice. again, what you said is consistent with what I have also read online today but it’s not the directions on the product I bought, nor my recollections.

He means salt needs to be in contact with water, which it generally is when in contact with ice. Obviously in very cold dry conditions it is much less effective.

That’s why I applied it earlier this evening while it’s still above freezing and the ground is mostly slush already or mildly compacted glaciated snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though ice is below 32 degrees, on a molecular level there is a small amount of liquid water on ice on the surface of the ice. The colder it is, the less liquid water there is. De-icing chemicals are hydrophilic meaning they attract water. The attraction of water starts the production of a brine that will really cause the ice to go away. The dissolution of rock salt in water will actually cause the temperature of the area around the salt to go down. Here is a link to a video that has a good explanation of how salt works. https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/newsreleases/2015/january/how-does-salt-melt-ice-video.html 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sochi almost didn't have enough of the right kinds of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombsAway1288 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Snowcover is basically gone in Chelsea despite only 15 hours above freezing maxing out at 41 with overcast all day. 10” basically compacted down to nothing and quick lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George001 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The Canadian has a Miller B on Sunday, I still think that’s the bigger threat but I’m starting to be more optimistic about the Friday one as well. The Navy is pretty far NW with that one, and that is a huge red flag because the Navy is known for having a SE bias. Id like to see the Euro and Canadian get on board for that as well before I go all in, but it’s worth keeping an eye on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Several snow chances signaled on the ensembles. Friday is one but a weaker signal, around the 17th, 20-22, 25. One or more will probably get us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
