The salt and water create a chemical reaction which causes the waters' temperature to be lowered so reducing its freezing point.
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.
The salt will cause the snow and ice to melt, which it does whenever I sprinkle salt on to my front path during winter, here, in the UK. For more info. search Google with your question and have a look through the websites on the subject.
No, snow does not naturally contain salt. Salt is typically added to snow by humans for de-icing purposes on roads and sidewalks.
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the snow and ice to melt more quickly. The rate at which the snow melts with salt depends on various factors such as the temperature, amount of salt applied, and the type of snow/ice. However, in general, it can start to melt within minutes to hours after applying salt.
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
yes they do melt faster like you know in the winter how you put salt out in the snow and it melts the snow,well that proves it
Yes! Unless it is too cold for the salt to work.

It is generally recommended to wait until after the snow has been cleared before applying salt to prevent ice formation. Applying salt before it snows may not be effective as the salt can get washed away by the snow.

because its hard to drive in the snow.. and its 'everywhere' not every wear
No, pure snow does not contain salt. However, it can pick up salt or other substances from the environment as it falls or melts, especially in urban areas where salt is used to de-ice roads.
no the salt only makes the snow melt faster
Countries that have cold winters, that can result in snow and ice on their roads, will spread salt and grit to help avoid vehicle crashes.
