fixed.

 

Wuss.

 

 

They use some kind of liquid anti-ice stuff here. It is usually put down the day before snow. It dries onto the road, but not before getting every car wet with the stuff. Not sure what it is, but at least they aren't spraying chunks of rock salt.

 

Probably the same stuff that is used here. It's 80% salt brine, and 20% beet juice. Seems they use beet juice so the solution will stick to the road surface, allowing them to spray it before the snow comes, and it does not just run off.

They use that stuff here too.

But they also spread salt and sand on top when the roads accumulate snow/ice anyway. That's what's all over my car. Not the horrific mag chloride stuff.

 

The community we live in spreads rock salt, the brine stuff is used on the highways. Back home in Manitoba it was to cold for salt, so they just used gravel. Me, I like snow packed roads in the winter, like this;

New Discovery Channel series - Ice Road MINIs!

I hope they can get Mike Rowe to narrate.

 

Shhh! I'm trying to hear the S/C over the camera rattle!

 

On our roads in the PNW, when it does Snow they still use Cinder Rocks!! Molly's got a small and not really noticable dimple from one!!

 

 

Question about using the regular car wash in the winter. Will the high pressure water mess up vinyl bonnet stripes? I've heard that with cold weather high pressure water can take them off....

 

minixb- if you spray from the top down and not spray directly at the edges of the decal they usually stay in place...but i hate using pressure washers in general on a car.

i havent washed either of my dd's since thanksgiving...

 

Most coin-op sprayers are fanned out. Never had an issue with one.

I could listen to him all day. Same story with Leonard Nemoy or Patrick Stewart.

Keep the nozzle a foot away and it should be fine, I'd think.



Now back to watching more TOS.

 

Did I shovel too much snow this year or does this just look entirely too cool....

 

^ That's badazz.

 

So in the big sporting event today, I'm rooting for the team wearing the black and white striped jerseys. They look the toughest, as the don't wear helmets.

I'm busy working on programming my keyboards tonight.

Was planning not to go outside this entire weekend but I made the mistake of stepping out on my porch to clean my duster.

 

Looks like ill be taking a few days off... 6-10" of snow coming. no way in hell my Fitola can drive in that with its summer tires.

Oh wellz. More time for me to practice piano.

 

Is it supposed to snow that much?? I thought it was just going to be a few inches.

Oh well, I could *walk* to work if I really had to...

 

Hi ML, that's what I've heard. But I also hear a lot of things (especially here) so who knows!

Right, blimey? Wink wink

 

Where's the snow??

 

I *heard* 9pm to tomorrow all day long. So we might get like 90" in some areas.

 

Down and back today and all I saw snow wise was 1in Sheboygan on the way down. Guys on the HAM radio were saying 1-3" over night, 10-12'' by the time it's all said and done on Wed. morning. Enforcement wise the V1 paid for itself 2x over on the return trip alone.
