I put a little rock salt down after I cleared mine, and it kept it from getting icy. I felt like I dork since the snow usually melts pretty quickly around here, but I think the mail man appreciated it. He has to walk up a lot of snow covered steps in my neighborhood.
Out here it rained for hours, then dropped ice pellets for a couple of hours before the snow started. So the snow in places is over a layer of 1/2" thick ice. The sun will gradually wear it down enough that salt can make a difference, though.
