Instead of throwing scoops of sodium chloride on the snow and ice, I'd much rather use pure sodium.

When sodium reacts with water, it'll create hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. The gas will burn hence the explosion while the lye will end up corroding the road and contaminating the soil.
So, it's a bad idea.

you’re not throwing table salt out on ice buddy.
