    I’ve actually wondered about doing something like that with salt. Would wreck the ice still and likely much harder to catch.

      I suppose there are lots of ‘simple sabotage’ measures one could imagine. Remember in Hogan’s Heroes, they would distribute the dirt dug from the tunnels by slowly releasing it from a sack inside one’s trousers while walking about the concentration camp.

      A glycol-based antifreeze would do. Like the liquid that plow trucks spray along with the salt when it gets extra cold.

        There are trucks that spray glycol on roads but I can’t just dump my used coolant in the streets? So unfair.
