Northeast De-Icing Day 2026

Northeast De-Icing Solutions hosted their first ever “De-Icing Day” at our location in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. We had 40 attendees from 10 different states gather together for this event. The day started with an “Intro to Liquids” presentation given by Jordan Smith of VSI by BOSS. Jordan has been successfully using liquids exclusively in his snow and ice operations for over 10 years. Guests were able to learn from his expansive knowledge on the subject and get all of their individual questions answered. After that the guests were able to check out the full line of VSI by BOSS equipment that was on display while we transitioned into our next segment, a “First Year Liquid Users” panel discussion where 4 contractors who just completed their first winter using liquids talked about their experiences of implementing liquids into their snow and ice operations. They shared their highs and lows, while providing insight to unexpected hurdles they encountered and wish they had known before starting out. This was moderated by our friends from The SnowJobs Podcast, a snow management podcast that currently has over 25,000 listens per month. This was followed by lunch and networking opportunity’s while we set up for brine making and sprayer demonstrations. Attendees were broken into groups and rotated through live brine making demonstrations where they were able to get hands on with a Legacy Series brine maker and watch multiple batches of brine being made, pumped out to storage tanks and have their questions answered. The next station was also a hands on opportunity with a Legacy Series Sprayer. An in-depth overview on the features, functions and operations of the unit was given and then contractors got to take control and try the sprayer for themselves. The next station was the full line of VSI by BOSS liquid de-icing equipment on display where attendees could get their hands on the equipment and again have their questions answered. The event ended around 4:00 pm. We were happy to have several contractors stick around for more detailed information on how to implement a liquids program to their specific company needs.

Overall, the event was a great success and helped to debunk the mindset of “Liquids just don’t work in the Northeast”. We at Northeast De-Icing Solutions want to thank everyone who took the time to help make this event a success.
