Nothing happening here, i just hope i wake up tomorrow and its being snowing during the night haha

It's currently snowing up here high on the hills of Eighton Banks and it's now laying on the ground. Means I'll have to set off for uni earlier in the morning just to ensure I get there on time for my 9am seminar.

Maybe because Eighton Banks is on a hill?

Been snowing since about 6pm in Newton Aycliffe and is laying.

Jimmi you're going on my block list  

Really bad around Co Durham. Came up the A19 and it was bad near Hutton Henry/Sheraton too.
Got to Peterlee and the road was dry.

Mind the X10 heading south just after 8, may have got a shock.
Bombing down, overtaking cars before coming across the snow and quickly moving back over and slowing right down!

Not got any in the area of Chester-le-Street I live in...probably best too!

I do like snow, it's just painful in the morning!

For you and anyone else moaning about there being no snow where you are I have just been a passenger in my sisters car and we went to pick my dad up in Ferryhill and it was an absolute nightmare especially on the way there as there had been no griters for hours and to make matters worse there was two way temporary lights and badly parked cars in that area made things especially different.

Although I will be getting photos if there is still snow on the ground tomorrow.

There was quite a bit of snow in Chester when I was delivering there a few hours ago. It wasn't causing any problems or anything, but it was certainly lying around where the streets are named after hills (Quantock, Cheviot, Cleveland etc..).

Sacriston was quite bad - I struggled trying to get up Holly Avenue. I got stuck in one street off Delves Lane in Consett. Luckily, people were shoveling their driveways so I managed to get a push to be on my way, but it was pretty bad up in Consett.

Yeah, Consett and Stanley have got to be the worst places for snow to lie in my opinion.

Don't know what it is with either - but if I tell my mam the night before where I'm heading, and it happens to be either of them, she'll say 'oh, wrap up in foil then'.

Stanley wasn't that bad to be honest. It'll be icy in the morning though. It was -1.0 in the car as I was leaving around half an hour ago.

Yeah Consett has to be one of the worst places in County Durham for snow, some days I'd arrive at New College having seen no snow then you'd see the students getting off the 15/15A in thick coats and wellies.

Broke down in the van earlier. Took nearly two hours to be recovered.
