Thursday night I was driving some back country roads in Lancaster county. These roads were built after the farms were there so they follow fence lines and creeks. You'll be going along and the road will suddenly make a 90 degree right or left at the corner of a field, usually blind and often with an elevation change just for fun.

Anyway the truck is telling me the temperature is between 0 and +3 F as I go over hills, it was very disconcerting the roads in places of up to 100 feet long were wet. Wet as in liquid. According to Google, a 20% salt brine will freeze at +2 F. So it was probably more than 20%. The ocean is 3.5%. That can't be good for the flora and fauna.
