The city definately spreads an ice melting agent on the streets. I know that the city uses a sand/salt mix, a rock salt and liquid Calcium Chloride.

Keep in mind though when I say salt it may not be 'salt' per say but some slat like substance that will melt ice.

Ah ok cause i heard something that said they werent allowed to use salt anymore cause of damage to cars and what not

Nah. I work for the city in roadways. They were mixing sand/salt in th fall and were receiving deliveries of the rock salt during the summer last year.

I also saw one of the Tandems with Calcium Chloride in the tanks tanks on the side of the box a few weeks back.

Calcium chloride is by far the nastiest think they use on the roads. It is very effective but corosive.

Regina really has it pretty good compared to out east where they dump tons upon tons of salt on the roads. Never buy a used car from Ottawa or Montreal.

HAHA thats some good advice, that's the FIRST thing i learned when i started looking out of province for a car.
I got the car i bought up on a lift the other night and the undercarriage is SPOTLESS, always a plus to see.

Don't drop those summer tires on too soon I guaruntee it will snow again before end of hte month.

Alright, I can confidently say that winter is OVER and spring is HERE!
I've been itching to stir this up for a while but i didn't want to jinx it like many times int he past haha

THANK GOD!!!
