The contents of the box are used by council staff to treat the road surface in icy or snowy conditions. Winter conditions in this part of low-lying coastal South Wales are very variable. At one extreme, the winter of 2013-2014 was mild and with much rain, but little ice and no snow at all. At the other extreme, a 46-hour snowfall in January 1982 left a level 2 feet of snow hereabouts.
