&lt;p&gt;Merry&amp;nbsp;Christmas from Amsterdam and a cry for help from The Netherlands. We are snowing in and&amp;nbsp;our country is running out of salt! Help us! The trains are all messed up. The roads slippery. We can&amp;#39;t handle this type of weather. Could some scandinavians come over and show our country how you people up north handle this perfectly every year? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My area of the UK has 12 days of salt left..............providing it cut&amp;#39;s the number of treated roads to 30%!&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/37.gif" alt="Confused" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over here, it&amp;#39;s too cold for road salt now! Temperature has now stayed below freezing for five weeks in a row and Helsinki area has the most snow for this time of year since 1915.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The answer is proper winter tyres and enough snow plows - which will then sit unused for most winters in Central Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
