Shovel. <br />The more snow <br />and <br />ice <br />you remove manually, the less salt you <br />will have to use <br />and <br />the <br />more effective it can be. <br />15°F is too cold for salt. <br />Most salts stop working at this temperature. Use sand instead for <br />traction, but remember that sand does not melt ice. <br />More salt does not mean more melting. <br />Use less than 4 pounds of salt per 1,000 square feet (an average <br />parking space is about 150 square feet). One pound of salt is <br />approximately a heaping 12 -ounce coffee mug. <br />Sweep up extra. <br />If salt or sand is visible on dry pavement it is no longer doing any <br />work and will be washed away. Use this salt or sand somewhere <br />else or throw it away. <br />
