Salt and grit only works effectively at dissolving ice down to a temperature of between -10 and -13 degrees so I am told and in the past two years we have had temperatures down to as low as -22 (if my car thermometer and Rishton Towers barometer are to be believed). What doesn't help is people emptying roadside gritbins to treat their own driveways, leaving the roads and pavements in an even worse state.
As far as remnants of grit being left behind until summer, I can't say I found it to be a problem myself.
