PITTSBURGH — The impending winter storm late this weekend has caused many salt shortages in the area, but there are some alternatives.
Experts said playground sand can work just as well as salt, preventing slipping on sidewalks and driveways.
Another option is a product called Damp Rid. It is usually used to remove moisture and freshen damp air.
However, the product contains calcium chloride, which can be used to melt ice.
