Quote: "At least 20 power pole fires sparked thousands of power outages across the St. Louis area Wednesday, and the cause is a rare weather phenomenon, Ameren Missouri said. 'I’ve not heard of it before, and I'm hearing other people haven't heard of it before either,' Jo Logan said, while she watched a pole burn in Crestwood while waiting for a dentist appointment."

Quote: "Ameren said cars are grinding up all of the salt on our roads, sending salty sediment into the air. That sediment is settling on devices called insulators on high-voltage power poles."

Note: *cough*bullshit*cough* Riiiiight, and that explains why even though we use salt every single year, this has never happened before. Moreoever, they can't possibly have used very much salt this year anyway - waaaay less than any normal year - because I doubt we've seen a TOTAL of six inches of snow here all winter. Also, St. Louis isn't exactly the only city to use salt when it snows...
