How has salting/brining been this winter?

I've had to take a year off from cycling to work since my daughter goes to daycare near my work (and I can't safely bike her to work). Anecdotally, as I drive by/alongside bike paths, I've noticed that they've been keeping up with brining and salting (at least in Burnaby). How have things been during this cold snap?

Edit: Forgot to say clearly it hasn't rained in a while, but usually in the mornings in past winters it's still been frosty and slick on some places (thinking Willingdon Overpass specifically).
