At what temperature does salt stop melting ice?

• <div><p>When temperatures drop far enough, even rock salt can’t melt the ice. The briny solution freezes before it develops, and the salt doesn’t work, which happens around <b>10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that </b>wind chill and other factors impact ice-melting progress. Some ice melters, like magnesium chloride, work at colder temperatures and work better for deep winter freezes.</p></div>

What is the best way to remove snow from driveways?

• <div><p>The best way to remove snow from driveways is to use a two- or three-stage <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/snow-blower-vs-power-brush.htm">snow blower</a>, which has the power to clear snow in a matter of minutes. Don’t forget to consider helpful options, such as a snow thrower, wheelbarrow plow, leaf blower, and hiring a professional snow removal company to clear off your driveway. </p></div>

Q: At what temperature does salt stop melting ice?

• <div><p>When temperatures drop far enough, even rock salt can&rsquo;t melt the ice. The briny solution freezes before it develops, and the salt doesn&rsquo;t work, which happens around <b>10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that </b>wind chill and other factors impact ice-melting progress. Some ice melters, like magnesium chloride, work at colder temperatures and work better for deep winter freezes.</p></div>

Q: Can I use cat litter or sand to melt the ice in my driveway?

• <div><p>Some commercial services use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sand-vs-salt-for-snow.htm">sand when clearing ice</a>, but that&rsquo;s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won&rsquo;t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain safety during snow season?

• <div><p>Schedule regular snow removal, apply salt or sand to icy areas, and mark hazards like curbs or drains.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove snow from my sidewalk and driveway?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, snow removal is compulsory in public spaces, including the sidewalk in front of your house, so you need to remove snow there. You could face fines for failure to clear your sidewalk in a timely manner&mdash;usually within 24 hours of the snowfall stopping. More importantly, your sidewalk needs to be safe for pedestrians to use, and you could face legal issues if someone slips on your sidewalk because you failed to clear it. Sidewalk removal services might seem expensive, but they&rsquo;re well worth it to avoid these issues.</p></div>

DO NOT USE NESCOR. We paid a small fortune for a new metal roof installed by Nescor in 2015. It has leaked continuously despite multiple repairs, and Nescor is unresponsive and unable to stop the leaks. We need to remove the entire roof and start over, at twice the cost. They are a hard sell...
