  • "The frequent and widespread snowfall throughout our service territories has supported higher sales of packaged consumer and professional deicing salt as well," Fran Malecha, Compass Minerals' CEO, said.

    "Currently, we are well under 1,000 tonnes, which is typically one-fourth of what we'd want to keep in store for snow removal," said Ron Bailey, the city's superintendent of streets.

    In Pennsylvania, David Finch, public works director at the borough of Chambersburg, said to Public Opinion local news: "So far we estimate we've used about 383 tonnes of salt. We only have storage for about 250 tonnes in total."
