DRIVE WAY必须准备融冰的盐吗？

[West Life]

那说明您那是豪宅。

实话实说，这么多年，我一粒融冰的盐也没有用过。

不过，这话一出口，今年得买一袋备上了。

For the past 20+ years I have not used salt on my driveway. I would use sand instead if there was a need. Why pollute the environment?
But then I never use a snowblower either even though I have a pretty long driveway. I figure by the time I cannot handle the shoveling, I will move to a condo.

Sometime ice will be built up on your steps and driveway and using ice melting salt is to prevent someone get hurt falling due to the slippery ice. it's home owner's liability to make sure it's safe on your driveway.

如果刚散了沙子，又开始下雪呢？连沙和雪一起铲到草地上？好象也不好办。
如果可能，尽量使用“environmentally friendly products”比较好些。

我们家使用这种organic的ice melter，观察一二年了，好象对植被没什么影响：
