I was visiting the UK a few years ago, woke up one morning, turned on the radio and heard that "the gritting lorries were out"...my imagination went wild, trying to figure out what was meant...OMIGOD, should I stay behind a locked door until they're "put back in"???

the salt trucks were out because it had snowed overnight...
