December 8, 2005.
Holt, Michigan.

It was -4 below zero Fahrenheit.

This is 'melting salt' that is supposed to provide ice freeze pavement within a reasonable period of time. The edge of the ice can be noted in the lower right corner. The only spots that melted according to the photographer was right under the salt particles.

These are dangerous conditions in everyway. Equip yourself for these types of temperatures. Blankets in cars, flashlights and batteries as well as a snack box with water or a favorite drink.
