Winter is upon us, and depending on where you live, now's the time for all sorts of snowy activities, like sledding, skiing, and throwing your back out as you shovel heaps of snow off your doorstep. Of course, you can opt to use a melting agent instead, but too many cause unnecessary messes and are even dangerous to pets. That's what makes the SaltNets Snow & Ice Melting Mat a better alternative, and it's on sale for only $40 today.
