White SRB

I know we had all the discussions about SRB not drying/going white and didn't really come to any conclusions as to why Tom in particular seemed to have a problem.
Back in about mid-August I did some remedial ballasting and took the opportunity to ballast a bit more of a section of plain and more or less hidden track. No probs, in the heat of this past summer it all dried out in a few days and I forgot about it... until yesterday when I had occasion to go down the shed and just idly looked at the station on the way back. Nearly had heart failure because it looked more like Siberia than central England! All the SRB has gone white
I'm not expecting any solution, just hoping it will dry out again once winter is over. Strangely enough, other areas which were previously SRB'd seem to be OK, although they are more sheltered so perhaps it is to do with the volume of water, we have had a fair bit of rain in the past few days.
