Thread Name: BS: on the naming of Snowploughs
Subject: RE: BS: on the naming of Snowploughs
I should think most of them are hibernating, apart from a few in the Highlands and NorthEast, as it has been almost a “no snow” winter so far for us. One morning when about an inch of the white stuff fell, but was gone by lunchtime. But every week since November there have been headlines such as “600 mile snowbomb to hit UK” or “Forecasters predict exact date snow will arrive in Edinburgh”………but nothing!
The lack of snow has meant that they have been able to complete a proper resurface of a half mile section of main road near us, after its potholes shredded hundreds of tyres: took 4 weeks, working through the nights too, so here’s some names for resurfacing machinery.
