Tries to deice, as winter roads (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salts

(Other definitions for salts that I've seen before include "Epsom--; smelling --" , "Six [EPSOM]'s might revive" , "Old sailors" , "medication" , "Medicinal compounds; Epsom --" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
