Then there's the ice to factor in later...Not going to be ideal laying down grit on an already wet surface, and no traffic to create brine (I assume they would grit this evening as having a gritter stuck on major routes is no help, ideally this is where the councils would get their snowploughs out.).. I would have thought that once the snow finishes later, the ice will compound the problem.
