Me too. We don't use cinders anymore and we do usr Calcium Chloride which is quick to run of and, imo, Snow tires should be mandated .

Not sure about the water but can say for 100% that it’s killing are cars and bridges and burns when you get it in your eyes or a cut so I’m sure the fish are fine lol kinda no not at all funny

Creeks have been heavily affected by this runoff for a long time.

Yeah, my 3 yo low mileage 4Runner has more rust than my 00 Sienna and 01 7.3 crazy how much worse the cintering is vs. salt spray in less frigid locals.
