Last year our guys used half salt and half cinders and that worked well for the traffic, but if they had to make a second trip the cinders would come over the blade and the windshield wipers couldn't remove it. All salt this year but it's calcium chloride instead of sodium chloride.

We really pitch a fit when they come and plow our street, which is a very, very rare occasion due to the Japanese Current affect. The hill is perfect for long, fast sled rides. The neighbors gather and drink hot cocoa, and we all have a blast. I offer rides to the neighbors down the hill who need to get out for supplies or what have you because I have "Brutus" and I know what to do with him. -gg- For the most part, we all realize that you don't want to be on the roads when it snows in Seattle. Those Calif transplants are the most dangerous drivers on earth when it snows.
