## Resource

Aberdeen’s winter budget just got a serious upgrade—with an extra $200,000 added to tackle the worst snowfall in 16 years. Roads, schools, and transit ground to a halt as tractors rolled into action to clear streets. The council’s new $1.774 million plan prioritizes main roads and pavements, adapting to unpredictable weather patterns fueled by climate change. With salt washing away or freezing-thawing more often, gritting now demands more frequent runs—and higher costs. New trial-sized salt bins aim to streamline restocking, while community access points offer one-tonne bags and public grit bins. After learning from last winter’s brutal spell, Aberdeen’s rolling out smarter, bigger, and better-prepared tactics to keep the city moving when the snow hits.
