Winter Storm In Central US: Important Things To Know Before Buying An Ice Melt Product
Winter storms can wreak havoc on roads, driveways, and sidewalks, causing them to become dangerously icy and slippery. To prevent slip falls, and accidents, many people turn to ice melt products. However, not all ice melts are created equal, and it’s important to know what to look for when buying one. With the recent winter storm hitting the central United States, it’s more important than ever to be informed about ice melt products and their effectiveness. In this article, we will discuss some important things to consider before buying an ice melt product.
Central US – As parts of the Northeast and California started to move on from the heavy snow and rain that hit the regions earlier this week, the Plains, Midwest, and South were bracing for stormy weather on Thursday.
Winter storm conditions that stretched from Nebraska to Michigan are expected to bring as much as 7 inches of snow and intense winds to some areas, with the National Weather Service warning that blizzard conditions are possible and travel could be impacted by slick roads and blowing snow.
And in the South, severe storms could batter portions of several states on Thursday with hail, wind, and tornadoes all possible. Parts of Texas were under a tornado watch Thursday evening as the majority of the state saw high winds.

Usage
Each ice melt has a specific usage quantity. For example, Safe Paw pet-safe ice melt uses half the salt and lasts for up to 72 hours! Therefore, you need to use approx—twelve ounces of rock salt to treat ten squares of the driveway.
Most people tend to increase their usage, thinking it will help to melt the ice quickly. However, it is not always the case. If you are using homemade ice melt, you will require more to help to melt the ice properly, but it may not prove cost-effective in the long run.
