Can"t comment on the wars as I have no informed knowledge but I have over 20 years experience of roads maintenace and I can assure you gritting the roads the day before does not deal with snow.

I do have a question though. How does the bloke who drives the snow plough get into work?

He often takes it home with him for the few hours he has before going out again. These guys often 80+ hours/week. So much so that there is much debate on whether they are except for the European Working Time Directive.

Swindon was fairly bad...
What about the roads?

No offence to Swindonians -- but its not a place that I would go for a holiday. One casulty of the snow was the educational establishments which were all closed on Tuesday night.

In Japan they don"t grit the roads at all.
Which is why buying a Japanese import is often a good idea, as the car will be in far better nick than one of the same age that has "grown up" in the UK.
This is irrelevant to the debate, but interesting nevertheless.

And consequently they are not undersealed/rustproofed to the same degree as cars made for the European market.
Also irrelevant, but worth knowing if you"re gonna buy one.
