Yeah, I hear ya! I actually enjoy the snow, but it's the US government that seems to think they need to destroy automobiles that gets my goat. Salt and the treatment solution they put on the roads is horribly corrosive and destroys what it touches if it's metal. It makes the roads dangerous by creating slush that piles up inches deep, by making wet spots to be followed by icy spots when in the clearings, etc. I could go on for hours about how angry I get about this whole deal...
They can plow all they want (and 25% of the time they plow non covered roads), but there is no logical need for salt use on the roads.
