yes but will the salt?

actually i'm thinking they didn't lay any down this time because the roads don't have that lightened look to them and there are small clumps of snow on the driveway that look like they were pushed there by the plows that went through last night so hopefully they didn't salt.

ours is almost gone except for a few clumps at the end of the driveway. i know these were pushed aside by the plow trucks last night so i took a taste of the snow to see if it tasted salty and it didn't appear to so maybe they didn't salt. the road doesn't have that salted over look to it.

It was snowing in Indy too, although nothing stuck since it wasnt cold enough to even last a second on the ground. Global warming my ***!

did they salt in chicago?

they plowed here buit i don't think they salted based on what the roads look like and what the snow out by the mailbox tasted like (was snow that had obviously been pushed off by the plow) i'm pretty sure the trucks i saw last night were the same dump trucks that do the county roads outside the subdivision so hopefully they didn't salt out there either. i knew the snow wouldn't last long but all it takes is a bit of salt and a lack of rain and then that **** stays on the roads for days
