When it snows in Japan, the streets spray warm water to prevent ice
The heat of the water melts the ice.
Seems like a really stupid way to create ice elsewhere. It would make more sense to spray a glycol solution.

I would assume this is to keep the road clear of snow not ice as water turns to ice when frozen
>>2053411>Has never lived somewhere coldIt is almost certainly a glycol/brine mix and not simply warm water.
>>2053397You use hot water to smooth ice rinks.
>>2053424and it then costs billions of dollars in rusted vehicles every year because using sand/small gravel is no no for smooth brain retards
>>2053467Yeah pretty much It's known that you should avoid cars from Hokkaido/Sapporo for that reason at auction (really rusty when they hit auction often swiss cheese)
