For us American Rock Salt is just down the road from us. Huge natural salt deposits right under most of Western NY, and they are cranking out salt production this year! If you ever pass through NY, the mine is visible from RT390 near Geneseo, NY. From what I understand, the tunnels down underground are huge.
But back on-topic. Weather models for early next week are not pretty. Getting uglier with each run for us... into the cold, and a possible long-term major series of snowstorms. I am sweating it out as I am down to a few nubbins of wood.
