I picked this piece of crap Suzuki only cause it's black and shows off the salt.
This is after not a whole lot of snow and two days.
You can see how insane they get with the salt up here.
If it really snows then they'll start dumping it by the ton.

Exactly.....and that's with minimal snow. When it really starts snowing then they're gonna go nuts. By the end of winter it's insane. Mountains of salt. And yes....if you don't drown your car in oil you can literally watch it dissolve.

Yep....trust me I don't love slathering my car in lard but here it's the only way to save them if you're gonna drive them in the brine we call Toronto roads.

I assume the salt gets into the water system when the snow melts. Does it make your water salty?

If it snows here I just stay home til it melts. Since we get snow once every three or four years.

Some winters here there's snow for a very long time and lots of it.



I've never had salty water out of my tap but I'm sure there's tons of salt going into the sewers. :eek:

Road salt not only increases the salt content of the local water supply, it actually damages roads (asphalt) and curbs/sidewalks (concrete). The water treatement plants deal with the salt in the drinking water, but I would bet that it increases the maintenace at the water treatment plants.

Montreal (where I grew up) used to dump its snow into the St. Lawrence river, but were forced to stop by the Quebec Environmental Detpartment, because the salt trapped in the snow was raising the salt levels in the river (and it a very big river).
