They used to just use gravel, and plow, but now they also use chemical de-icing.

Last year I drove around a bit in the snow and found it to be a little different experience, but a hoot. It didn't drive bad in the snow....I would probably guess that anyone with decent experience driving any rear-wheel drive car in snow will instinctively know the moves to make to keep an A on the road. Mine also leaked like a sieve, so driving in the rain was an issue. Hopefully with the new roof and other sealing of body joints will fix that to a great degree.

What chemicals do they use?
