Conventional and traditional de-icing methods just don't work in the extreme cold. Road salt is relatively ineffective under 17 degrees. Many communities are using either Calcium Chloride or Magnesium Chloride to reduce the melting point but when the temps are zero and below, that effort is wasted too.
You should see a dramatic improvement in road conditions today, rain tonight and tomorrow, and a lock up freeze tomorrow night.
