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: How do I know what size of snowblower to get?

• <div><p>Snowblowers come in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-snow-blower.htm">three different sizes</a>: first-, second-, and third-stage blowers. Each additional stage is larger with higher intakes, more powerful, and has more gear options.</p><p>A first-stage blower, also called a snow thrower, is usually best for snow 6 to 8 inches or below. Electric snow blowers are usually only available in this size. If you regularly get snow that&rsquo;s well above six inches, consider a second-stage snow blower. If snowstorms dump 2 to 3 feet of snow repeatedly during winter, you need a third-stage snow blower to tackle it.</p></div>

Q: Do roof rakes cause ice dams?

• <div><p>Roof raking helps clear snowfall from your roof and, in turn, you hope that this prevents ice dams. But can roof raking actually cause them? Generally, no, it cannot. But you should note that while, in some cases, you might successfully prevent ice dams from forming near the edge of your roof by keeping it cleared with a roof rake, they could still form higher up on the roof, where you are unable to reach. This may leave you wondering: <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-roof-raking-prevent-ice-dams.htm">Does roof raking prevent ice dams</a>? While it is not a 100% guaranteed way to prevent them, it does help.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar melt ice on driveways?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re struggling to find anything else suitable in your cupboards, a vinegar and water ice melt makes for a passable quick fix. Just don&rsquo;t expect it to clear your concrete the way commercial products or rock salt will. Mix equal parts vinegar and warm water and squeegee away the watery slush to prevent more slippery surfaces from forming.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on snow removal?

• <div><p>The best way to save money on snow removal is to sign up for a seasonal contract that guarantees service throughout the entire winter. Most companies charge between <b>$200 and $600</b> for this service, and they&rsquo;ll often give you a break on the price if you extend annually. Of course, savings will depend on your area. If you live in a moderate climate where snowfall may or may not occur, you could pay more than you need during a light snow year. Still, it&rsquo;s usually a safe bet to sign a seasonal contract.</p></div>
