Jim...you've got my vote! I don't know what the municipalities in upstate NY are using as an "ice melt" but here in the sticks of central Wisconsin they have come up with a witches brew using magnesium chloride. This stuff melts ice in sub zero temps! It will also sizzle right through epoxy and powder coating, not to say what it does to aluminum and
zinc chromate!
Yup, you're a better man than me...I'm keepin' my baby in hibernation 'til Spring.
