What is brine and why does it matter during winter weather? It’s a liquid mix of salt and water that crews spray on roads before a freeze. Because it’s liquid, it spreads farther and works faster than traditional salt. Here’s the science: water freezes at 32°. Add salt, and that freezing point drops down to about 15°. The salt molecules get in the way of water molecules locking together, making it harder for ice to form. Less ice means better traction, fewer skids, and safer roads.🧊🧂🚗 Look fo
