Because it was getting down to -16C at night and grit stops working -8C - -10C. No point wasting all of the grit in a very cold period when it could be used at a time when it would actually work.
We should stop gritting in this country, rather correct tyres and snow chains should be used. The reason we do not use chains is because it is illegal to use them on clear roads. Stop gritting and then all roads covered and chain use becomes easier.
