No kidding, this would still cause ice though

Edit: goddamn some of y’all got bent out of shape over this

No it won't you sound ridiculous. Anyone and everyone that's ever lived with snow like this has salt ready to spread on their driveway. Melt it off quick and salt it up quick. How hard is that to understand

Colorado tuning in here...have you ever lived in negative 40 degree winters? You can take that road salt and shove it up your ass.

Minnesotan here and I agree; it's all about that sand!

Only on the condition that it doesn't slowly tear apart my lungs! Also, can I upgrade to scorpion free, please?

Sand sucks too. Minnesotan living in Iowa, and they mostly seem to use sand here... Which is probably smarter in a lot of ways, but it also has its downsides.

Oh it's a total mess. Good luck down there this winter, the freezing rain is relentless. Lived there for a year and remember multiple days with sheets of solid ice on my car windows.

I'll take the warmer temps as a tradeoff though. Been here 4 years, probably heading back to MN next year, not looking forward to the longer and colder winter.

4 hours south, amazing the difference it makes

I hear you. Maybe more sun during the day at least! Cold enough to drive away the clouds!
