I don't know if the truck spraying really helps or not, but I grew up in Northern California where it snowed a lot and I remember trucks doing the same type of thing. p.s. I got the pattern that I ordered in the mail a couple days ago. It might take a while for me to get it completed (I'm 35 weeks pregnant right now), but I'll send you a pic when I'm done with it.

Must be nice to have such attentive city trucks to have two of them.

Actually seems to be very effective too. I guess that is 540 as well. Used to live in Cary, looks very much like my trek to Target. VT does this now too. Actually seems to be very effective too.
