You wrote in reply to me:

So, tell me, on those days when there has been no snow and no rain but there is a very cold DRY night in store and we wake to find frost all over the ground and on our cars – where do you think the “H2O presence” came from? And would you complain when gritting is done in those circumstances, as is often the case?
“reasonable comprehension” eh! My turn to laugh
Okay....so what is now implied by weggis, is that council gritters are out on all frosty mornings (e.g. throughout the winter months) and not just during snow fall?
It appears Weggis keeps missing the point.
Weggis is very good in lifting part text extracts from people's comments and putting them out of context, as he is good at manipulating and twisting words.
We had the first snow fall last Saturday (late evening of 04/02/2012). Gritters were not out in the hours before or after the snow fall on ALL ROUTES as claimed. Those routes which were neglected, had dried up by the grace of the sun during the afternoon of 06/02/2012 and the following day (07/02/2012). However, it was as from 7pm or much later on the evening of 07/02/2012 that gritting was applied to those roads which were not visited on the evening of 04/02/2012 and the following day (05/02/2012). The comment / constructive criticism being made here (I guess in Weggis eyes...under his specs from spec-savers) is deemed / labelled as one of a complainer....?
Yesterday late evening (09/02/2012) we had a second batch of snow fall (which was light unlike the first time round), which melted straight away, but under freezing overnight temperatures that H2O impacting on potential risk for icy roads. Again, not all roads on the schedule were gritted. That is the same roads which were neglected before, as I have commented in my post of 10 February 2012 01:13:25 under this subject heading.
Simply.........not all roads were gritted when required and as claimed under the council's web page, 'gritting' update (which is misleading). Some roads neglected earlier, were gritted once the snow and ice had melted away under the sun, during the day (07/02/2012). Then we have a repeat scenario last night (09/02/2012), as of the evening of 04/02/2012, when again all roads were not gritted as per the schedule mentioned by Cllr Bond. This defies beyond 'reasonable comprehension' as to why council like to grit (waste it) when not required and that they do not grit when required.....surely this is evident in itself of poor management and lack of proper coordination in this matter?......I rest my Case!!!
