Ya know the problemo with that freebie town sand is usually that it's brown with a lot of organic material that holds moisture and freezes, as opposed to the store bought 50-lb bags of dry white sand, that's full of tiny little traction pebbles .... that really has an edge for gripping/melting into the ice.
If you want the good stuff, it's gotta be the sand you buy in a 50 or 70-lb bag. That free sand just ain't so good? It gets all clumpy and don't shake out. Most winters use me about three bags..... so far, this is a 1 3/4 bag winter!
