After 4-feet of snow fell across the Syracuse area last week, road crews and sidewalk shovelers braved the cold to clear the powder and ice covered travel ways with of course, salt.
Not everyone is happy though. It seems all the good salt has done for the area, whether it be the industry of days past or simply melting ice, goes un-noticed by some residents. In fact they despise salt. But why?
"They don't like [that] it rusts out their cars, pits their concrete sidewalks.
It makes a mess and you track it indoors. It ruins floors, but, it's the only way to be safe on the ice,"says Mark Casale of Suburban Hardware in Liverpool.

That's quite a laundry list of complaints considering the U.S. dumped 22.6-million-tons of salt on roads in 2008 - according to the United States Geological Survey.
With plenty more snow on the way, plan to wash your car a few more times and sweep up rock salt tracked into the house, but be patient, because nothing else does the melting job salt does. And besides, Syracuse, with it's rich history of salt production, is after all nicknamed "Salt City."
