For John, BLUF: I was impressed to see new techniques being tried out by Mass DOT. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Heading South on Route 3 around Noon yesterday I saw something I hadn't seen before in this area—a tank truck spreading a liquid on the road, as a prep for snow. I have seen it in Pennsylvania, but not here.
I expect that while it did not make a difference in the long run, it may well have made for a better commute for those heading home before the big storm got serious.

I've read it's more and more popular to add beet juice to salt brine for liquid application.
