    I saw something on the news yesterday that there's a serious shortage of ice-melt products due to all the recent snow in the country.

    I think it is the tariffs. My neighbor found some in a town across the river and got me a bag.

    My neighbor ordered two 50 lb. bags from Lowe's and he has been shoveling and salting my driveway.  I allow him to use my shed to store his snow blower and lawn mower and in return, he shovels and mows for me.  I think I got the better end of that deal.

    It's a domestic product. The shortage is most likely regional if certain areas are experiencing more snow than usual. But we are always well prepared here.

    No problems here. 

    Pallets available at Home Depot.

    I did the math...that is more expensive than regular rock salt.

      Oops! I misread it at first and thought you meant sandy beaches/fiery hot climes.

    This is a warm weather activity. Salt is less effective at temperatures under 20° F
