Depends on how cheap the city is. sodium chloride (table salt) is sometimes used because it is cheap, but it causes horrible rust. Calcium chloride is often used for it's lower melting point, and reduced corrosion, but it is more expensive. Ordinary sand is actually commonly used as well. It doesn't melt the snow, but it improves traction without causing slippery ice to form do to refreezing.
What else can I help you with?
Is the salt used to melt snow made from digestive salt or mixed acids?
Salts used for deicing are sodium and calcium chloride.
Does snow contain salt?
No, snow does not naturally contain salt. Salt is typically added to snow by humans for de-icing purposes on roads and sidewalks.
Does snow have salt in it?
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.
Would putting salt on snow be dangerous?
no the salt only makes the snow melt faster

Using the salt on snow?
If you sprinkle a large amount of salt over snow/ice it will cause it to melt and keeps it from refreezing. If the snow is extremely thick you may have to lay down several layers of salt.
What is snow salt?
Snow salt, also known as rock salt or ice melt, is a type of salt used to melt snow and ice on roads, sidewalks, and other surfaces. It works by lowering the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt more quickly. Snow salt is commonly spread before or during snowfall to prevent the buildup of ice.
What are the properties of road salt?
I think road salt it made of salt, gravel and sand. The salf lowers the melting point of the snow/ice, so therefore melting it, and the sand and gravel give a car grip.
What melts more snow water or salt water?
salt water
How long does it take for salt to melt snow?
Sand is not used to melt snow, it is just used to increase friction, so the snow is not as slippery. Salt is used to melt snow, not sand. And salt works quite rapidly (but the actual speed will depend upon the ambient temperature).
To see if this site is reliable I am going to ask a simple scientific question If you have salt on snow what happens?
Some types of salt melts the snow
Salt used to melt snow?
yes it is
