Here, in S. Lanarkshire, the salt/grit has run out and the usual suppliers don't have any left. What grit is available is to be mixed with sand to make it go further. A council manager told me on Thursday that even the main roads wouldn't be gritted and if another 2 inches of snow fell, there would be chaos.
Chargehand told me he'd spent all day motoring around East Kilbride, Larkhall, Hamilton, Lesmahgow etc in a truck, begging for grit from other council depots as the paths near the sheltered housing areas were all iced up. He was politely told to feck off.
Managers suggested to chargehands that maybe they could go around priority areas, like sheltered housing, and clear the rock hard ice with hammers and shovels. Workers attitude to that idea is basically 'feck that for a lark'.
