Do you put down the salt before or after the snow?
It is smarter to put down salt before the snow comes. Once the snow has begun, it may be harder to melt any ice that has begun to form.

Is snow melting salt bad for the environment?
Yea its really bad for the environment because when you put road salt on clean snow, the snow becomes polluted. Polluted snow melts faster than clean snow because of lower albedo. After the polluted snow melts it goes into our water source and then it becomes into water pollution which becomes a bigger problem. Also, it can give plants and sometimes trees salt burn just by it being in the air and also when the snow melts the water carries the salt in to our fresh water lakes and rivers
