Default Re: Tristate/NYC area -- roads salted today?

Speaking about Salt in the Northeast, My father in law has a 2004 Suburban, I have a 2004 Tahoe. F.I.L has made about 5-6 trips a year to upstate NY since the vehicle was new, including a bunch in the winter. He hopped in the truck the other day and the brake pedal went to the floor (truck has 70k and is very well maintained), looked underneath, all the brake lines were rotted out along with a good bit of frame/body metal, he then looked at my truck, totally clean (my truck rarely leaves Long Island). That is a perfect example of the destructive power of the salt here in the Northeast.
