Probably got this wrong, but during the last snow they didn't grit because it was too cold and there was no point.
The information then about roads being usable was based on the time of the thaw.
No gritting done today on a local road which is a bus route.
Gritter driver couldn't get to work..
The problem is that gritting the roads does nothing during snow, only ice.
Thought those little gritters got everywhere.Quote:

Gritting only works if there's traffic to grind it - if the roads are quiet, as likely to be overnight on a weekend, it's pretty pointless.
They'll grit the bus routes in the morning, but only if the snow isn't falling
