Should I salt the pavements?

[HeyWayne]

I did salt my path for the postie, and it worked really well until we had fresh snow.
Now all the shops have sold out of salt, so he'll have to take his chances.

Apparently sales of dishwasher salt are way up.

Yes, that was all gone days ago. Cat litter too, but I won't use that cos it's got clay in which goes super-slippy when it's wet.
