Roads, schools, and transit ground to a halt as tractors rolled into action to clear streets.

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.
