Typical BBC journalism though the council rep goes on about having other plans to keep roads open, apart from grit i'd really like to know what these plans are. Perhaps they intend to pipe the waffle these people spout onto the roads use the hot air to melt anything? I really hope we get something from this cold spell. It was certainly chilly here last night, more so than we've seen before this winter at the moment it's very cloudy and damp/drizzly cool but not cold...
