Icy Panic in the Boston Area? Salt & Ice Melt Woes (Molloy’s Got Your Back in Milton & Beyond!)
Hey Boston-area neighbors—be honest… are your shoulders sore yet? Between nonstop snow, freezing rain, and sidewalks that turn into skating rinks overnight, this winter is not messing around. And just when you need it most? Shelves are empty, prices are climbing, and ice melt is suddenly hard to find.
If you’re in Milton or the surrounding Boston-area communities, you’re probably hearing the same thing everywhere you go:
“Sorry—we’re out of ice melt.”
Let’s talk about what’s going on, why it matters, and how Molloy Lawn & Landscape has ice melt available and ready when you need it most.
The Big Chill: What’s the Deal?
The Boston area has been hit with a perfect winter storm of problems—and no, not just the weather.
Here’s why ice melt shortages are happening across Milton and nearby towns:
-
Higher-than-normal demand from repeated snow and ice events
-
Supply chain delays impacting salt and ice melt deliveries
-
Municipalities buying in bulk early to protect public roads and walkways
-
Homeowners scrambling after the first few storms wiped out local inventory
The result?
👉 Empty shelves
👉 Inflated prices
👉 People rationing ice melt—or worse, going without it altogether
And when ice isn’t treated properly, slips, falls, and property damage become a real concern.
Why Ice Melt Matters More Than You Think
Ice melt isn’t just about convenience—it’s about safety.
Untreated ice can lead to:
-
Slips and falls for family members, guests, tenants, or customers
-
Liability issues for property owners and businesses
-
Damage to pavement when ice refreezes and expands
-
Stressful mornings trying to chip away ice that should’ve been treated earlier
Having the right ice melt, applied at the right time, makes all the difference—especially in high-traffic areas like driveways, walkways, stairs, and entrances.
