Seasonal timing & local climate

The Greater Hartford sits in a Mid-Atlantic freeze-thaw zone where winters swing repeatedly across the freezing mark and crews salt the roads. Water works into asphalt by day and expands overnight, which is the leading cause of local cracking, while road salt speeds surface oxidation and ravelling.
