Question

If I got ice on my driveway when I spilled my drink, and it is below -10 degrees F, how can I get it to melt before my parents come home?

Community Answer

Use snow-melting salt. The size of the ice cubes will determine how long it takes to melt with the salt.

You can shovel off as much as possible, then throw rock salt over the gravel to melt the remaining snow.

Question

Would it be beneficial to put salt down on a driveway before an ice storm?

Community Answer

Yes. You can apply salt before and after a snow storm. Use salt that is rated for sub-zero temperatures and is not harmful to pavers if you have them.
