Easy, just use a foot or so of salt!

If you're getting 100+ mph winds, I wouldn't worry about sand,
I'd worry about tree branches, pedestrians, etc.  We had ~70 mph
winds yesterday, they blew over some nice heavy "permit parking only"
signs in the parking lot.  Gee, I'm glad I don't have a permit to
park in those spots!  Felt sorry for the poor kids out in the
driver's training cars.  GM cars are hard enough to drive normally,
much less when you're just learning, have a bozo yelling at you,
and sudden 70mph side winds!
