In this Jan. 27, 2017 photo, an American Rock Salt Co. mine production worker inspects the surge bin at the mine in Hampton Corners, N.Y. Deep below upstate New York's farm country, workers in ghostly tunnels are praying for snow. Fiercer winters mean better business, longer hours and fatter paychecks at what's billed as the nation's most productive salt mine, which ships trainloads of snow-melting road salt to municipalities across the Northeast.
