below ice is a lot warmer than above ice, so theoretically this helps in one dimension of the problem, which is probably the angle they're going for

practically it's still stupid because it's about as effective as moving a semi truck with a sewing needle

it's even stupider theoretically because the salt is gonna lower the melting point of the already-there ice, which likely has some freshwater snow precipitation on it
