We still have icy/snowy white pavements, and some smaller streets are still undriveable, but it's just raining now and cold and it looks like the snow is definitely on the way out. Although they warn there will be a return of snow next week.
Grit only works as the snow is falling and it's being ground into the floor by traffic (which does help). Heavy snow falling ontop of grit does sod all in the quantities we've been getting and certainly for the amount of grit we're putting down. Snow ploughs AND grit are much more effective - but we haven't got the infrastructure for this.
