It is brutal outside today.  I do not so much mind the cold, or the snow or rain or any other weather discomfort that most people who live in the northeast bitch about.  Yeah, the same people that know it is coming and can goddamn move if they hate it so much as opposed to complaining about things they can't control.  However, this wind today is ridiculous.  It is making it feel way colder than it really is, and all this sand and salt from the winter roads is blowing all over the place and getting in my eyes whenever I get out of my truck.  I almost lost my hat as well.  Screw you wind, I'm sick and tired to be sick and tired.  30 miles per hour.  if you're gonna blow, blow hard or don't blow at all.  Come back when you can top 70 or more, or else just go home.  I wonder where all this sand and salt goes; do they just sweep it into the sewers.  I should look into this.  I wonder if they are screwing up the salinity of these salted areas.  Have they dont long term pH testing on the environment?  Probably have.  Someone (Tim) will probably scold me on my ignorance of this subject.  It is what it is.

Re: Windy
Salts are a component of buffers so maybe they add in the other half (weak acid with its correlating salt or weak base  and its conjugate salt).  This would regulate the pH and therefore runoff  may not have an effect on soil salinity etc.    Is it effect or affect I never know which one to use.

Listen, I don't hear them saying that they are putting down their perfectly titrated buffered pH balanced salt compound on the road pal, I just hear salt.  NaCl or some other variant.  I ain't talkin' ions, I be talkin' table salt.  All over my roads, making all the soil too high in sodium for the little creatures.

Re: Windy
"if you're gonna blow, blow hard or don't blow at all."  that has double entendre potential!

 

It was VERY windy here in the Boston area today.  I went for a short exercise walk at lunch, but the wind was so loud, I couldn't even hear if a car was coming at me.

Maybe they don't mention it because its too intellectually difficult for the average citizen to understand.
