WeatherWhys for January 17,2014 from accuweather.com

Road salt effectively removes ice and snow from highways and sidewalks. When applied, the chemical properties of salt lower the freezing point of water. In turn, the ice and snow become liquid water even though the air temperature may be well below freezing. However, salt loses its melting power in extremely cold conditions.
