Snowed in

Apparently there is now a national salt shortage in the UK, for clearing roads of all the snow and ice: we are going to start importing salt from abroad.
All contributions welcome!
So THAT's why the tube didn't go due to the snow. I always wondered how the tube (underground) would be affected by too much snow (on the ground). But now it's clear, they can't pull their security theatre anymore so they stop the entire tube... :-)
As one of those stuck in London last week, I was not amused by the fact that Britain seems to have neither snow ploughs neither shovels. It really was shocking.
