Hello Neighbors,

Please be safe out there today for the big game 😊

Good rule of thumb for how much salt to use: If there is salt left over on the ground when the ice has melted and the concrete dried, then you’re using too much. ❄️🌎♻️

These are harsh chemicals that are not good for the grass, gardens, animals/paws, streams, rivers, etc. Please use sparingly, enough to help prevent pedestrian injury. 🚶‍♀️🐕‍🦺🌲🦆

Go Birds 🦅 🏈
