temperatures

[briggie]

with the recent temperatures , ive heard that rock salt loses its effectiveness at between -6 and -8 , so be aware of black ice on roads ... also last night it was minus 10 here .... how low does it have to be for antifreeze not to work properly ? ... im guessing its a lot colder

Are we allowed to say BLACK ice??:augie

And anyhow how long as ice been ***** thingy you know what I mean :nenau

I think its:

30% mix = -15 degrees C
40% mix = -23 degrees C
50% mix = -37 degrees C
60% mix = -51 degrees C



It was minus 12 at mine this morning!!!! :eek: Road is just sheet ice, couple of inches thick!! Even the dog was struggling to walk on it!
