My car is in a terrible state at the moment. Last week we had 5 days of snow, and though it never lay, the councils were out salting the roads every night. It appears that salt sticks better when dry as against when the roads are wet.
The City Bypass was a sight to see as the traffic stirred up clouds of salt, making it look like a scene from the Paris - Dakar Rally. Family circumstances have made it difficult to get the car washed (I was just about to start yesterday when we got a call to go to the hospital), and as a result, the car remains encrusted with salt. Every time I go to shut the boot, it feels like I am handling sandpaper. Hopefully, I can get it at least rinsed off this coming weekend.
