I think the purchases were to cover a couple of counties, not just Escambia: The state Department of Transportation bought 42 tons of salt ($12,400) and 10 salt spreaders ($26,400) that attach to the front of dump trucks. They stocked 4,400 gallons of potassium acetate, a chemical used to remove ice ($26,400). Also the department purchased five snow plows — yes, snow plows — for $22,000. The plows attach to the front of existing DOT vehicles. The plows are multipurpose. They can also be used to shovel sand or debris that might cover roads in the event of a hurricane. They said that the department needs to be better prepared for the possibility of severe winter weather, and that includes snowfall after the unexpected incidents in 2014.
