    Probably longer than we’d expect, because the street will crack less if it’s kept at a consistent temp?

      Its usually a result of shifting ground underneath the street that causes cracks. The street should be deisigned to prevent regular temperature changes from causing damages, expansion joints for example. If anything this could actually increase the rate of cracking if the melt water infiltrates underneath and contributes to freeze/thaw damages.

        Sauce? This sounds fascinating, and very bizarre based on what I know about Michigan.
