The money will shift to highway maintenance. In fact, crews have already worked to patch potholes thanks to warmer temperatures.
"The benefit we're seeing with weather is we are able to get out there sooner and start our pothole repairs," Briggs said.
The salt barns will sit full until next year, which means the state will have to buy less. They've used less than 9,000 tons this season, which isn't much for the district."This season's been tough with snow removal," said Warren Whitehouse, who runs WC landscaping and Contracting in Roxborough. Whitehouse said he's only done snow removal a handful of times this season. His salt supply now sits underneath other landscaping materials, because he hasn't used it very much. But he is watching the forecast just in case he has to dig the salt out of his garage.It's not as easy for stores. Some are running out of space as spring draws near. At True Value in Roxborough, shovels and salt sit on the shelves, where they have all season.
"A little bit of an inconvenience," said Alex Jaconski, who runs True Value. "If it doesn't sell, we'll have it around and we'll move it around accordingly. We have some space."
