It strikes me as a strange event when depots are running out of salt with which to try to keep people safe!
So, only main roads only to be salted, and thats only in certain parts of the country!
Good luck everyone!

Yeah, I had already read that as it happens. The people in the countryside always have that problem, that they don't bother with country roads. I hope they manage to get some more salt. I hate driving in the snow, feels really weird!

My road is one of the worst for snow cleariing - but thankfully across the road is a man who works for the council (his a gardener) and has managed to get hold of grit/salt - road is now slushy
