DC Area Road Salt Report?

Over for at least a week anyway. This crap will melt in no time, but the road grime is going to be significant. Going to need a good rain before I'll get the 430 out again.

 

And driving season comes to an end... Sigh.

 

Naw, I'll bet I'm at C&C next Saturday as usual, he says shakily while staring out the window, noticing the big flakes have begun to fall.

 

Saw salt trucks on toll road right before you get off at 123

 

At 12:30 this afternoon, there were salt trucks staged on I-70 in Ellicott City, but they weren't spreading anything yet. Hopefully, they didn't and won't...

It's a sad day...

 

Sonofa...

I saw a salt truck out and spreading on Rt 40 in Ellicott City.

 

Salted / treated in Northern Harford & Baltimore counties this afternoon.

 

Waxpool Rd. towards wegmans/28 is awful. The ramp on to 28W was completely covered. Belmont Ridge Rd. wasn't bad last night. Rte. 7 was okay this morning headed towards Tyson's Corner. Loudoun County Parkway towards 267 off of Waxpool was pretty bad.

You guys w/ exotics should keep them in the garage until there's a fairly heavy rain or two.

Based on my commute into work:
- Salt on 123 at Tyson's
- Salt on 66/267 Eastbound onramp @ 123
- Salt on 66 Eastbound all the way to Roosevelt bridge

If Tyson's is so salted, guess my exotic driving days for this year are over till we get some serious rains.

 

Apparently no salt used on roads in West Virginia, at least in the Charlestown area.

Southern Maryland is SAFE...Took the TR out for much needed excersice yesterday

 

WOW!! Rob, were you up with the Porsche guys at Summit for the weekend?? That looks crazy, did you trailer or drive up there??

 

Drove 360 to SP on Friday and had great day at track. Drove home on Saturday, after they closed the track - no fun coming down the mountain roads on semi slick R 888's. Drove back on Sunday - in my Porsche - as I had a student and didn't want to disappoint him - weather clear, but snow melting caused some problems on track.

Last event of the year for Potomac PCA.

Rob,
Glad you made it home ok!! Those are some serious slick roads up there.

 

RT 29 through Columbia was salted as well as RT 216 in Maple Lawn/Highland area. In the mornings the roads are still "glazed" due to the salt pulling moisture from the air. I imagine similar states on other heavily traveled roads in the area - as Eric mentioned about RT 40.

Side streets and back roads seem to have not been treated.

It would be nice to get a rain shower prior to the weekend but it is not looking promising according to the forecast...

 

Not a single f**king snow flake and the roads are salted in VA. WTF???!!!!

 

No treatment at all here in the Columbia/Burtonsville area.

 

I saw a bunch of salt trucks on standby in Leesburg late last night, not sure if they actually put salt down or not? Roads look this am around town like salt was NOT put down. We had a few flurries but that's it.

A friend told me the Dulles Greenway WAS salted last night.

 

balt co fine-- no treatments did have snow from about 9pm-12am in northwest county. planning on driving the 430 tomorrow--forecast looking nice!
