Snow in the UK

Yesterday there has been a nice report about the winter in the UK on the German TV channel ZDF (see link here, if you can watch it). They said, that preperations for harder winters are too expensive and the chaos which is now on rail and streets is much cheeper. But the most funny thing of all: As they are short of road salt, cat litter was mentioned as an alternative. The good news for the cats is that it is short, too.
