Ohio Department of Transportation crews have been working around the clock to make sure state roads and highways are safe for drivers during Sunday’s winter storm. District 12 public information officer Brent Kovacs said plow drivers are working 12 hour shifts to manage the snowfall.“Motorists need to know conditions can change from mile to mile. And no matter what the posted speed limit is, you have to drive to the conditions,” said Kovacs.
“The reason for that is we actually need the help of the motoring public to grind that salt into the pavement, and that's what really activates it to get that melting power going,” said Kovacs. “It's beet molasses with the sugar removed and also has some snow fighting properties added to it. And that product alone works til negative 40 on the roads. Now, we don't need that amount of power on the roads tonight, so we mix it with some of our salt brine and get the right amount of snow fighting power that we need to make sure that salt stays effective on the road,” said Kovacs.
