As I found my way to the office this morning while listening to the radio, the radio announcer hinted of a snow forecast for later in the morning. At the time, not a speck of snow, nor rain, was present in brisk morning air.
As I came upon a large vehicle with warning lights....a tow truck? Perhaps an ambulance, or fire engine. What else could it be???
Well, let me tell you. MNDOT in their infinite wisdom decided to salt the road PRIOR to snowfall. What kind of genius salts the road without snow or ice? Surely they are attempting vegetation control of the ditches. That is the only reasonable explanation since applying salt unnecessarily to a road results in cars driving over said salt, crushing said salt, and having the wind blow it off the road into the ditches. Simple as that.
MNDOT isn't underfunded. They have plenty of money to waste, they do it daily. What they don't lack however is incompetence; they surely have a surplus in that area.
