The Maryland State Highway Administration is prepared for anything Mother Nature may have in store this winter, according Charlie Gischlar, SHA Communications. The administration has stockpiled tons of abrasives and deicing materials, has hundreds of snow plows at the ready, and will implement a new proactive anti-icing strategy involving salt brine and an organic material called “beet juice.” See story. The Keyser’s Ridge SHA garage crews may soon get a chance to try out that plan, as snow is in the forecast this Friday. But, hopefully, the white stuff won’t be nearly the amount pictured above, as residents are still reeling from the more than 260 inches of snow that fell on the county last winter.
