Do KCC know something?

This evening I spotted my first (for this winter) gritter. Came through the
village at about 7.00pm. and then about 15mins later in the other direction.
Definitely dropping salt, yellow lamps going, the whole business.

No wonder my Council Tax is so high.

Steve. Just goes to prove the old adage
"All that gritters. Is not cold"

Actually I swear there was frost on some of the cars parked on the 'Sydenham
Tundra' earlier this evening.

Just got back from the cinema and the car was all frozen up. Temperature
currently 3.0°C and dropping slowly.

Already below freezing in Hampshire, currently -0.4c, the 8th air frost of
the autumn so far.

I fully expect to count on the fingers of one hand the times the
maximum here gets above 10C for the next 6 months.

And all this fuss about a gritter!. My car has had it's grey winter
skirt for the last two weeks (when it's dry enough).

Saw mine last week (South Lincs). Unfortunately it was coming the other way
and I was in a kit car with no doors, so I got a facefull of the stuff at
50mph. Ow.
