Well, since the rail infrastructure companies are so surprised by the winter they can't keep their website up, I'm not holding my breath.

The thing is you don't need to get expensive plow trucks - you can get removable plows to fit to any sort of truck, like garbage trucks for instance. Add training for the drivers, and you've got a much higher preparedness for not that much extra cost (well, compared to getting plow trucks and drivers for those).

I have a feeling preparedness and the experience needed to cope is something that'll come creeping south from Scotland.
