Other Travel News from this week:

While navigating the snowy streets of Stockholm, you will notice a big difference from the US. Rather than using traditional rock salt to melt the ice and snow, Sweden spreads sand and gravel. This is meant to reduce the enviromental impact of traditional salt. However, while the gravel and sand help to increase traction or grip on the snow, it does nothing to help melt it!
