Plow snow before ice? AND asphalt vs gravel strategy?

[Sawburner]

Sawburner, how do you spread the grit? I have a pile of sand but don't have a spreader. I suppose I could try to dribble it out with the bucket.

With a shovel, get some in the bucket and shovel it out, mostly I use a 5 gallon pail and spread it from the pail. I burn coal so I have ash from that in 55 gallon barrels , I generally only spread it in the tire tracks and walk ways.
