« on: 06 November 2012, 12:21:05 am »
None stop gritting on the M27 tonight,  it's about 3º so not about to freeze.  The bike is gonna get furry,  Damn. I suppose it's for the best just in case Jack Frost rears his ugly head?    :'(

They were gritting Fratton Road this evening too.

And they weren't expecting snow in the West Country either... ;)

road temperatures are colder than air temperatures....remember your physics....gritting before ice and frost forms is good practice!

Freezing here too, but I doubt if the A25 has been gritted, Sevenoaks are very mean and we often have to hand grit ourselves if they have remembered to fill up the bins! :\

The A316 was gritted last night too: they dumped huge amounts around each roundabout... made it far more dangerous than a bit of frost. :lol
