I just finished spreading calcium chloride (ice melt) on the sidewalks and driveway at 9pm. The weather advisory continues until 6am tomorrow morning.

How long does ice melt continue to work once it's been put down. I couldn't find the answer anywhere online. Will I need to put more down early in the morning or does it continue working longer than that?

It's more of a use and wait and see. I put down a bunch not long ago after it misted and froze everything. When it snowed last week (had been a week after putting it down) the first half inch didn't stick at all to my sidewalk or most of driveway. The next inch snowfall the next day the icemelt didn't do anything.
