How does snow accelerate rust?

Road salting.

Also it's pretty humid there, apparently?

Ahh, the salting makes sense. I live by the sea in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and our cars last longer than 15yrs so I wondered how snow could be worse. Having salt regularly splattered all over your undercarriage would definitely be much worse than anything our cars go through.
