I live just north of Dayton and I normally wait until the end of April or early May before I take my cars out on the road. I prefer to let the April showers wash away the salt before I drive. Better be safe than sorry.

No salt around here... doesn't really snow much. Just the rain. I've only had it out a couple times since I bought it back... but that's more because I have it stored 35 miles away until I get my garage situated for having a car in it. Hoping to have it done by the end of the month.

I'm in Lorain County and was laughing inside at all of the ppl with their clean cars out this past Sunday...white, dusty, salty nastiness was still all over the place. I'll have a keen eye to the roads this Sunday, supposed to be 60 and sunny...and after all of this rain, the salt should be gone. Got my Collector's plates today too, just in time!!
