Why I miss Texas.

My first mode of transportation was a super-shitty '81 Yamaha Virago 750. I remember sitting in the garage with a hairdryer on the carbs, trying to get it started. I couldn't, ended up riding my bicycle ~8 miles to school and work.
edit: Just remembered the rest of that day, as if wasn't bad enough. Had a flat after work, walked the bike 2 miles to a bike shop, then rode the rest of the way home. I hated that Virago.

We haven't gotten the one load big dumps like the east coast, but our warm spells have been short lived so the snow falls have accumulated into having a lot of snow.. Usually we can handle it and we don't have to move it around much, but this year its gotten to the point many places are hiring gravel trucks to move it out to snow melt pits.
But at least even with many minor snowfalls , traffic keeps moving and what not, when you get 4 ft dumps, everything comes to a standstill.

I saw a news story the other day about a salt mine, and how many tons of salt are tossed on roads every year. I've always wondered, isn't there some huge environmental impact of all that running into rivers/lakes/etc.?

The stupid thing about using salt especially here is the eutectic point. If you get the concentrations to strong, the freezing point of the solution actually goes back up. This seems to cause a lot of crashes, they salt the living daylights out of road, and for some reason there is a big patch of black ice with small weather change.
