In all the years I lived in the old country (1955 - 1976, 1981 - 1987) I cannot ever remember seeing a vehicle prepping the roads for inclement conditions. Maybe it's because I lived predominantly in the south (around London) or the south midlands....??? I certainly remember one winters day in late '72 or early '73 riding my CB175 out to do a domiciliary visit in one of the villages outside Harlow when I hit ice and went down on my ear 'ole, cursing the lack of attention that bit of road was (not) getting.

It snows there most winters, apparently. This was in 2010:

Nice pics, just thought it was strange as we were in shorts and t shirts walking down the strip while 3 hours away they were freezing!
