A mountain of salt for blizzard-prone Boston
We broke a record here in Boston last year - but we weren’t happy about it. More than nine feet of snow fell on the city last winter. Nor’easters slammed into the coast on an almost weekly basis. Our public transport system all but collapsed. So now that winter’s back, we’re bracing for impact. And one thing we’re going to need - is rock salt.
