jesus, there's been 3 nights with temps below 0 this year... it will not freeze even without gritting.

all northern Europe uses salt water/brine whatever you call. and only spread sand with low spreader when needed.

in my 15 years of driving in winter, never ever I had issue with gritter spreading *sugar* on my car. only in uk

I bet you 1 million pounds that temperatures in every part of the uk mainland have dropped below freezing on more than 3 nights!!

Wolverhampton area for next 6 days ... looks like every single night is liable to hit freezing or below (weather.com) ... stay in bed long enough and it's much warmer ... that's my ploy anyway!

Your right, it doesn't go below freezing around here - it often stays well below freezing for days at a time - this patch remain nearly inch thick in places ice pack for over a week recently. We have had at least two periods this season when it has not gone above freezing for a week or so.


And below is 10:30 in the morning. You should see the state of the roads at 5am.

Unfortunately I am not that quick witted. But now I’ve had two days to think about it, yes that’s what I meant!

I guess it rained before it froze here last night
