Sand and salt conditions north of the GTA

[shanekingsley]

This coming week looks to be a nice one and I'm thinking about a ride or two towards the Muskoka's and Kawaratha's.

I noticed the other day that some of that lovely salt brine had been sprayed on the 401 near the DVP and was wondering how it is well further north of the GTA for the salt?

I guess this thread could also serve as general sand and salt thread until the roads really turn bad.

Thanks.

Salt brine on the 115 as well. Today was wet snow all day, Hwy 35 was just wet, no sand or salt yet, but I heard Bancroft got 4 inches the other day.

I've seen that salt brine stuff on areas of Mayfield and also Britannia but , no salt or sand.

Salters were out in Barrie last night, not salt brine but rock salt.

I had to take the car in to work today as roads in my neighbourhood (Mount Albert) were all icy. The main roads had salt on them and I passed a couple of salt trucks in the area on my way in to work. I'm sure I'll be riding tomorrow.
