Shock. Horror. It’s that time of year again.
Scotland had to brace itself overnight with warnings of danger to life weather conditions.
It’s a bit frosty. It went down to -4.
I think we just get confused when it stops raining.
Anyway, in what in now becoming a annual post, it’s time to celebrate the gritters again. There’s 240 of them, based at 42 depots and everyone of them has a name. If you are really keen, you can follow them on a website and it shows you what gritter is where.
The website can get over 100,000 visitors a day.
Last year the Minnesota Department of
Transportation started the same thing, as dod a few cities in Canada. They came
up with Snowboni, Plowsaurus Rex and Sir SaltsALot.
And if you are stuck because you are behind a
gritter, you at least get a wee titter at the name.
Here are the 24 25 names. Prepare to be amused.
