Regarding purchasing salt blocks to the animals from licking road salt: I got
my first real taste of how agricultural a community Madison, WI is when I saw
slt blocks for sale in the grocery stores! Threw me at first, but I realized
there are a lot of farms all around Madison and most people still go into town
for supplies. Certainly, in the Pittsburgh area you should be able to find a 
seed/feed/supply store that sells salt blocks for animals.

While I'm still in the WI frame of mind... my greates temp extreme I drove the
Miata in was -20F at 70mph (Dec26, 1992) in a light snow with the defroster
going full blast. The heater kept the car warm. I had no trouble with the glass.
At times (in less frigid weather) I have seen steam rising off the windshield
(from the defroster being on full heat for a while). Again I have not had any
problems from the heat differences....
