Temperature in the UK equal to tose at the poles.
Road salt being rationed

No sign of temperatures going much above Zero until 22nd Jan (according to Metcheck.com)
Companies unable to opperate as staff can't/won't get to work.
Winky talking b
ks as though nothing is happening.
Not looking too good is it.

"We are getting on with running the country"
Maybe if the Global Warming propaganda (met)office had take their collective heads out of their sphincters they could have see this comming and we could have been prepared.
Why is it that councils allways seen to run out of grit in just a few days.
It's not like they use it often, maybe 4 weeks a year at most.
That still leaves 48 weeks to mine, process and distribute the stuf FFS!

They are too busy spaffing their yearly budget on toys to make sure they get the same budget next year. They'd never think of spending the surplus on essentials like salt/grit that they think will never get used, especially when they can have more fun with Wii games and junkets abroad to see how other country's councils run their administration.

The strategically agreed stocking level is 6 days worth. Apparently they actually had 13 days worth.It's not like they use it often, maybe 4 weeks a year at most.

I suppose storing large volumes of the stuff long-term isn't easy as it would wash and / or blow away. It would need immense building to keep large volumes under cover.
