Run out of road salt ?...

[sardonicus]

Then you could try using ammonium nitrate fertiliser on your paths /driveway,been using it all week in small amounts .
Works just as well as rock salt though the enviroment agency probably wouldnt be too happy about it and is probably illegal to use it on the track up to your house  ;)

but what is legal is cat litter :D

Then you get loads of cat poo on your drive...

[muddyjames]

i keep a bag in the boot incase i get stuck. cat poo no where near my house! lol

[Saffy]

correct me if I am wrong but I could swear in the USA I seen them using big huge pressure steam machines to clear snow and ice from roads and sidewalks in city areas - big trucks down to small compact pavement sweeper sized machines  - surely better than salt for towns and cities and our chassis.

On salt front, too big bags of budget table salt I been dumping a pudding bowl at a time onto the path I cut into our patio. (just means I haven't passed an isolated road salt bin  :-$)

Plain old sand is better than nothing. Cat poo and wee may help warm your path up.

Dishwasher salt is ace !

Fair play to the council boys, they have given me a tub full each time i've asked.

you could use ammonium nitrate, but when the spring comes expect your driveway to get totally destroyed by the seedbank you bought to life through the winter!
