Madison has always use a mixture of sand and salt. 40 years ago it 
was probably 50/50, but over the last 20 years they've been ramping 
down the percent of salt to the point that I think it's now less than 
10%. Under certain conditions they've been experimenting with 
alternatives to salt altogether.
