For all  of those who have T3's in areas where SALT on roads is a
problem in the  spring.  The mild winter 2011-12 weather has allowed
some of the the  DOT to NOT use their allotment of salt.  Isn't it a
bureaucratic shame  that they must use their salt their stocks, whether
they need to or  not.  They all seem to be concerned about their budget
$$$ for next  year.  Use it, or lose it.



Well our county road commission has been trying NOT to use any more salt  
than they need to. This is because it comes out of their budget. Their budget 
is  set up from Jan 1 to Dec 31, so any left overs from the spring could be 
used in  the late fall. This is how they were able to just stay under 
budget last year  (we had some really large snow falls in Jan thru March). They 
actually buy salt  in the summer to, as the price is cheaper then.
 
But, like a few others here, I don't drive my T-3s until after the 1st of  
April, and even then, I'll wait until we get a couple of nice rains to wash 
the  roads first. I do enough rust repair work as it is, without having to 
do my  classic cars too. ;-)
