Snow In Los Angeles: How To Drive Safely On Southern California Roads
Another round of rain and snow will move through Southern California starting Monday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a winter weather advisory for parts of Los Angeles County.
A winter weather advisory is in effect for Los Angeles County mountains, including Acton and Mount Wilson, until 1 p.m. Tuesday. A winter storm watch will be in effect from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday evening.
Moderate snowfall of between 5 and 10 inches is expected during the winter weather advisory, according to the NWS. Heavy snow is possible Tuesday night and Wednesday, with 6 to 12 inches of snow expected for elevations above 5,000 feet, and as much as 15 inches in the San Gabriel Mountains. Wind gusts could reach 60 mph.
Dangerous driving conditions could result from the snowy and winter conditions, forecasters warned.

Concrete Safe Ice Melt
Safe Paw
The Original and the #1 Pet and Child Safe Ice Melt for over 20 years. Guaranteed environmentally safe – will not harm waterways and sensitive wetlands.
In winter, driving to work can be a challenge. Snow and ice are common in most parts of the country, and your car needs to be ready for them. The first step to keeping your vehicle safe is preparing it before the storm hits. It will help if you have a few items on hand in advance: a good ice melt, traction agent, shovel, or snow blower (depending on how much space you have). If you were expecting driveway salt, it’s not there. We will discuss why.
Use The Right Kind Of Ice Melt
Avoid using ice melts with calcium chloride or magnesium chloride. These products can cause damage to your driveway and patio. Driveway salts made from potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, or calcium chloride are also not good for concrete.
The best way to keep your concrete safe from these chemicals is by applying an ice melt that is free from such chemicals. Apply the product before the first snowfall of winter. This will help keep your walkway clear through all seasons.
Does Magnesium Chloride Damage Your Commercial Vehicle?
Contrary to popular belief, magnesium chloride can harm your commercial vehicle in the long run. It is more harmful to commercial vehicles and metals on roadways and twice as corrosive for stainless steel. In addition, it has a mild reaction with mild steel if used with other additives.

How To Remove Ice From The Windshield?
The best way is with a scraper. Scraping off snow and ice can be done with a standard household scraper or any other tool designed for this purpose (ice picks are also very effective).
As you scrape, make sure not to put too much pressure on the glass—you don’t want to scratch up your car! When using a scraper, be sure that you’re scraping at an angle away from yourself. Also keep in mind that it might take some time before all of the snow comes off. Sprinkling some ice melt can make the job easy for you.
