Why don’t we grit every night sub zero temperatures are predicted?
Because we are a local independent business we have good local knowledge of the prevailing weather conditions and can react accordingly. Sometimes when a frost is predicted it does not always mean conditions will cause ice to form on roads. There can be enough heat in the ground to keep the roads from freezing. Also if there have been consecutive sub zero nights there might be enough grit/salt on your surfaces already especially if there hasn’t been any rain to wash it or wind to blow it away and the traffic volumes have not been too high. Conversely temperatures can stay above zero, but conditions can allow ice to form.
