Ever since then, the brine trucks have been active. We most likely will never have an incident like that ever again. Brine is the magic juice for an icing like that.


No. Winter precip in GA typically starts with rain, before switching over to freezing rain or snow. Whatever saline you put on the road is washed off or significantly diluted before the frozen precip even starts.

It hasn't failed the past 10 years.
I was just up in North Carolina last weekend. It was raining. But once we hit elevation, the brine was working. Snow everywhere. But the roads were good (it hadn't refrozen despite being 10 degrees).
