Salt before the snow

Date: 1/31/2021

I'm in the front yard. Tank top on and sweat pants. It's night out and it should be cold but none of this even bothers me. I'm looking at the ground thinking that I should put salt down because it's supposed to storm tonight (this is true IWL). So I grab the bag filled with salt that's actually sitting by the front door, and begin to shake salt onto the ground. I noticed that there are white lines, sort of a trail or path leading from my door way to the end of my gate and then turning right heading towards the garage. This is my usual path of putting salt down before the snow lol
