If you northerners and and Canadians want to poke fun at the south just know they closed our schools and shut the town down for this.

I currently have three inches of ice on my driveway. My neighbour used a pick yesterday to chip the ice off his driveway. It’s too cold for salt to even work. We have had snow, rain, ice pellets, and snow squalls this week. Nothing is closed

Magnesium Chloride works at lower temperatures than rock salt, if you can get it there. But below 10°F, you're out of luck.

That’s -12 Celsius and the wind chill today was -25, so yeah, that won’t work LOL. We have all that stuff here too

Keep in mind wind chill doesn't affect nonliving stuff. It hurts us endothermic beings because the wind draws more heat out of us, but the ice only cares about the ambient temperature!

Oh that's interesting! So if any inanimate object is in the path of the wind it won't be affected?

Let's say you park your car on a 5° day after driving. It'll lose heat & cool down to 5°. A steady wind will make your warm car will cool down to 5° faster, but it will still stay at 5° Wind chill is a factor for us because we generate our own heat, and wind takes it away faster
