By which you mean that "they" should have snow-ploughs and gritters etc
ready to go?

Who's gonna pay for them? It's just not a good investment when they'd
hardly ever be used.

I've never once seen a Halon system in a computer room used in anger but
you can be damn sure every serious company has one installed in theirs.
What the hell is the cost of a couple of trucks and some grit compared to
the millions, possibly even billions lost when everything grinds to a halt?
