This calcium chloride brine that they are spraying on the roads is absolutely brutal for anyone that cares about having a clean vehicle/garage. If you take a look around you'll notice crap hanging from vehicles that you typically only see after major dumps of snow. The brine causes way more snow/debris to stick to rocker panels/undercarriage. Then it carries onto driveway and into garage. Try to squeegee that slippery greasy crap off of your garage floor. I end up shoveling snow onto the garage floor to absorb, then squeegee off to allow cement to become dry again. Give me a salt/sand mix anytime. I know some highways maintenance guys in NE B.C. that tried it out on the highways a few years ago, it was okay unit the mercury dipped to -20/-25 then the highways turned into absolute skating rinks.
