ND salts really heavily compared to MT. So the snowpack usually clears up faster in ND.

.


10 years ago we salted like Montana.

Now, we get to drive in slush half the winter because of the salt disease that's spread statewide from Fargo. Never would I have ever thought the roads would get wet when the sun comes out at -10F, but here we are. Little bit of snow starts blowing across the road, and pretty soon it's stuck because of all the salt. Added bonus, now we see 10-12 year old vehicles rusted out. A real treat our roads are now.


We don't use salt either. It is beet heat, a mix, and it has been used for a few decades here.

They pretreat and the idea is you end up with slush instead of ice.

I'm pretty sure it is the quality of the vehicles from 10 years ago, as there are still a pile of 20+ year old vehicles without issue driving around still. Or you have the Minnesota disease of "good looking cheap vehicle, why not buy it?" Around you.
