I know they sell rock salt in stores for snow. But could you use table salt to melt the snow if you happen to run out of rock salt?
Has anyone ever tried using table salt for that purpose? Did it work?

It works just the same. Salt is salt. Rock salt is just cheaper and easier to spread around.

Rock salt and table salt are the same substance, NaCl.

Salt is salt - the best thing to use for melting salt is urea pelets! Go to a local feed store!
