Yesterday morning I drove along a stretch of the A78 between Seamill and Ardrossan. As anyone familiar with this stretch of road will know every year there are several fatalities on this winding coastal road. About 8.20AM there was not a grain of grit on the road, following a snow shower during the night it was a sea of slush. For many people it was the first day back at work following the festive break and they had to face that !.
Few residantial areas have been gritted and many folk are virtual prisoners in their homes.
All the builder merchants are sold out of grit and sand, even the supermarkets are out of salt and grainy cat litter.
It's the same all over the UK of course - a bit of snow and the country grinds to a halt !.
