Icy weather
EXPLORE: At Home
Here are some things to consider doing.
Some items may not be applicable to you.
To de-ice sidewalks, etc.:
- Be aware that kitty litter will not melt the ice - it will only help to make it less slippery
If the temperature is above 20 degrees F:
- Use rock salt
If there are shrubs, etc. nearby:
- Use potassium chloride - less chance of damaging the plants
If the temperature is below 0 degrees F:
- Consider using calcium and magnesium chloride - may be better for the environment than just calcium
