But a winter storm warning was also in effect in Oregon and Northern California, where some areas were expecting up to 6 feet of snow and winds to gust as high as 80 mph.

How To Choose Best Ice Melt For This Winter Preparation?
1- Non-toxic & chemical-free
use an ice melt that is non-toxic and chemical-free. Common ice melting salts have chloride in one or the other form. These harmful chemicals burn the paws of our four-legged friends. They may also corrode the driveways and pathways. Fortunately, there are safe, non-toxic, and chemical-free ice melt solutions available in the market to make your winters safe and unpolluted.
2- Able to prevent ice & snow from sticking
Your ideal ice melter should also work as pre-treatment. Few ice melt can prevent ice from sticking to surfaces for up to three days of using it, making shoveling a much easier task.
Gaia Enterprises Inc. delivers 100% pet-safe and environmentally friendly winter products. Safe Paw, our flagship product, is the #1 selling pet-safe ice melt that does not harm pets, safe if ingested, and safe on all types of concrete.
3- Able to prevent freeze-thaw cycle
To preserve your concrete and extend its lifespan, find an ice melt product that will keep melted ice in a liquid state for a longer duration. It means that ice melt will not refreeze as easily or as often, thus preventing the freeze-thaw cycle.
