An interesting side note:  When I lived in Austria they did not salt the
roads.  They did in the big cities, but where I lived the roads got plowed
and then they spread kind of coal-rock - it's what's left after the coal
burns.  Over time the roads had about three inches of rock-solid snow with
these rough 'rocks' embedded in it.  It was good for traction.  In the
springs road crews swept up the leftover rocks and stored them for next
winter.  No salt, no rust, just tire chains and driving skills.
