If the snow had come whilst there was cars on the road the rocksalt may have had some effect , but it was not to be .

You need a snowplough, not rock salt.

Some gritters have the snowplough attachment on , but some dont have the attachment on and have to have it affixed to the vehicle , paricular if they have to plough more roads than normal.
