Stop in for a cup of coffee

Got the driveway clear. Had to run to Ace for another bag of ice melt. Got the good stuff this time. Calcium Chloride. Expensive at $20 for 50 LB. But goes a lot farther than rock salt or blend.
They did utility work several years ago and replaced a section at the end of my drive. The cream on that junk is GONE. Other than a few cracks. my 40 year old concrete is WAY better.

I only buy calcium chloride anymore. Worth every penny and works to much lower temp than rock salt. Rock salt’s lowest effective temperature is about 20*F but calcium chloride has a lowest effective temperature of -25*F. Calcium chloride also releases heat as it dissolves in an exothermic reaction that speeds the melting.
