We use maple syrup for dusty dirt roads in the summer too.

Actually a good thing to have in the trunk if you live in a place subject to icing.

The lumber company uses some kind of sealer that binds the dust together on logging roads. Don't know what it is.

I thought salt was an after treatment, granted it was 40 yrs ago when I was living in MN the salt trucks went out after the ice and snow

Not the clumping stuff though, That turns into a paste and will clog the Sipes in tires making them slicks.

This year is the first time I have seen "Pre Ice" road treatments.
Like you in the past it snow was reacted to after the fact. Now I'm seeing pre treating the roads on a wide scale.
How does that work?

I was doing so good on a bowl of raisin bran till I was smokin a dab joint and saw unattended sausage egg biscuits.
Wish I could of tasted the first 2 tacos, but I chewed the 3rd one.
(I thought the dogs stole one when both were gone in a flash, because of the breakfast rebellion

I would think the moisture from whatever precipitation happens combines with the dried treatment to make a freeze resistant slurry.

Did the same as yesterday except no peppers and it's on a few slices of fried sweet potato. Pretty good

They can mix and spray a variety, calcium magnesium soidum chloride solutions, whatever is cheaper, and beet juice lowers the freeze temp further and helps it stick.
The treatment starts working so they don't have to be everywhere at once at some unknown start time, then they have time to spread sand and salt.

The steel bridges gets especially bad and they often pre-treat them. A lot of the suspended or tall bridges freeze before the rest of the roads, so you can be tooling along, hit a bridge and find yourself in a slide. Some of the real tall ones are actually heated.

It's not always dry. It gets sprayed on.

I've seen the rig they use to spray I 80 going over the Sierra's, it has a type of outrigger so they can cover 4 lanes at once, pretty cool.
Don't get a parrot. I can't tell you how many times I was told to "hurry up" and "bad bird"I forgot to feed the dogs this morning and when I mentioned it, they both started barking at me.
Not nicely either, that was rude barking. They were sulking quietly, I guess.
