Dread to think how much de-icer has been used over the last few weeks and when
look back met office predicted a warm wet winter therefore the companies plan their spend on that, it`s like supermarkets who ask for a long range weather forcast to plan their buying for things like BBQ and what ever in summer. It can go spectacularly wrong if you don`t get the right info and can cost a lot of money
I was told yesterday that one of the councils in this area had a large supply of grit and was then told wasn`t going to be a bad winter sold quite a bit to another and this has now come back and given them a very large bite on the bum.
