I seem to recall that the snow and salt reaction does something that makes the plates and grates electrified.
Yeah, the calcium chloride and wet, melting snow mixture eats through the sheath of cables in the manholes (most of which are old, and ready to fail anyway) allowing voltage to escape via the path of the wet wall and manhole cover.
Some are more significant 'leaks' than others.. you'll recall the skater girl that got "Con Ed" branded on her lower back (upper butt) last year.
Dogs, with their wet, fleshy paw pads, tend to notice the leaking voltage long before us rubber-soled humans.
That also reminds me that salt is bad for dog feet, so dogs should really wear boots in the snow. And yes they have them for dogs.
isn't that a bit disrespectful towards our former pres?
