The drains have backed up again

Whatever grits you through the night

Traffic Scotland hosts the Trunk Road Gritter Tracker, a handy-dandy, at-a-glance overview of where its gritter and de-icing trucks are working. Each truck is colour-coded, depending on whether it's currently deployed or in depot. This is the sort of information that the public needs! (thumbup)

Some trucks have been given suitably puntastic names, such as BUZZ ICECLEAR; YES SIR ICE CAN BOOGIE; GRITNEY SPEARS; and SLED ZEPPELIN, among others. So the the site is not only informative, it's also entertaining. Just like the BBC, only entertaining. And (reliably) informative.

As if The Global Shopfront Library wasn't already enough to justify the interwebz.
