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>

How do I thaw frozen gutters?

• <div><p>If you do end up with frozen gutters, it's important to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-can-i-thaw-frozen-gutter-or-downspout.htm">thaw them correctly</a>. Thawing your gutters slowly is far safer than trying to break apart the ice.

Q: Is an annual snow removal contract worth it?

• <div><p>Whether or not an annual snow removal contract is worth it depends mainly on location. If you live in an area with frequent heavy snowfall, a yearly contract could be better than paying per clearing. If you live in an area where it only snows a few times a year, paying per snowstorm may be a better option.</p></div>

Q: How much does snow removal cost for businesses?

• <div><p>Costs range from $50 to $150 per hour, depending on the property size and service frequency.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if there is too much snow on your roof?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-how-much-snow-can-your-roof-hold.htm">How much snow can a roof hold</a>? The answer could help you to avoid roof collapse&mdash;a worst-case scenario, of course. For most roofs, you can expect it to withstand four feet of fresh snow, two feet of packed snow, or two to three feet of a mix of old and new snow. However, your roof will only be able to handle one inch of ice. The actual weight capacity of your roof may vary, so check with whoever built it for exact details.</p></div>

There is nothing I dislike. What I like is he tries very hard to keep things cleared. This has been a really bad winter, it is fifteen feet of snow and it gets very rough on everybody. So he has done a good job with what has been handed.
