Following a light snowfall in New York City that barely accumulated, approximately 28 million pounds of salt were spread across the streets. Residents, including Caroline Ourso and Cindy Sbiel, voiced concerns about the overuse of salt, describing unpleasant experiences of windblown salt. Sbiel notably expressed frustration with salt contaminating her home and affecting her children. This incident has sparked a discussion about the need for more judicious salt application, revealing the discontentment of locals dealing with the fallout of salt more than the snow itself.
Caroline Ourso, a photographer from the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, recalled being hit in the face with windblown salt as she walked on the Upper East Side. It was gross, she said.
Cindy Sbiel, who lives in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, added: The snow is not coming yet! Just chill. When the snow comes, then put down salt.
Ms. Sbiel's friend, Lily Roth, said she'd noticed the clothes of her 8-year-old and 5-year-old children sprouting splotches of white.
