Road conditions are an everyday talking point midway through January, so here鈥檚 a look at one of the more creative ways some cities deal with their icy asphalt.
Fun Fact of the day:
Salt is a tried and true ice clearer, but its downside is that it becomes ineffective in very cold temperatures. An alternative that鈥檚 been used in Canadian cities such as Laval and Calgary is none other than beet juice.
Whereas salt is useful at temperatures closer to zero, the sugar molecules in beet juice lower the freezing point of water to as low as -20 degrees. What鈥檚 more, it鈥檚 also considered more eco-friendly.
However, it does leave the streets looking like a bloodbath. But then, for some people, winter is already a horror show.
Weather forecast according to Environment Canada:
A snowfall warning is in effect for Penticton with about five to 10 cm expected this morning.
