Salt Less Useful In Subzero Weather On Roads
Local officials report salt loses effectiveness below 20 degrees and in subzero conditions snow sticks to it, creating drift and icing. In urban areas heavy traffic aids salt work, but rural winds spread drifting snow. Officials say salt use is cut back and focus remains on intersections while Elyria and state crews track salt and liquid calcium usage.

On South Bass Middle Bass and North Bass islands in Lake Erie, 240 residents faced harsh winter conditions with broken furnaces dwindling fuel and mainland isolation. A convoy attempting to bring fuel across the frozen ice turned back due to poor ice conditions and 50 mph winds.
