I was driving a bunch of back roads in Lancaster County tonight. Over hill and dale the temperature varied between 0-F and +3-F. That's fine but I worried about a lot of stretches of road that were wet? At 10% salt, ice melts at 20°F(-6°C), 20% salt it's 2°F(-16C). That tells me the water running off that road into the fields and streams is at least six times saltier than the ocean. That can't be good for crops or fish.
