(24 Feb 2020, 9:12 am)streetdeckfan I personally wish the snow would bugger off somewhere else! Snow used to be fun when I was young, but now it's just a pain in the arse when all you want is an IKEA breakfast!Little chance of that, today. It's starting to ease off and get wetter in Durham, now. Been watching primary school kids loving it and secondary school kids freezing in their blazers and looking quite dick of life.

(24 Feb 2020, 9:44 am)streetdeckfan I'm glad I decided to stay up in Gateshead last night since Bishop is basically cut off now! Unfortunately that means that I can't get back home!It'll be clear by lunchtime.

Agree about dreadful car drivers. It was crawling conditions outside out house for all of rush hour and there were still impatient twits driving up people's backsides and honking their horns.

(24 Feb 2020, 10:11 am)streetdeckfan I wanted to get back down early this morning so I could have a shower and come back up (I even got up before 10, which is good for me, and I hate showering with Gateshead water, I always feel dirtier after!)No idea why. Gateshead has lovely soft water.

Snow used to be fun when I was young, but now it's just a pain in the arse when all you want is an IKEA breakfast!I was meant to be heading to Lincoln today but had to admit defeat as there was no way I would've made to Darlington station in time for my booked train service. Of course snow grinds all the roads to a halt up here and I seemingly can't claim a refund or travel tomorrow with today's tickets (only changeable with a fee) yet any time the sky looks a bit funny anywhere else and this is can be offered!!!

(24 Feb 2020, 4:49 pm)streetdeckfan Whenever I need to get the train I always get it from Newcastle and stay up with family in Gateshead, that way if anything happens I can always walk!They were gritted. I live on a priority one route and the gritters were very much in evidence, overnight, but that doesn't help when the snow is actively falling.
I made the fatal mistake of booking from Bishop to Manchester because I couldn't be bothered to go up to Newcastle, obviously Northern were running late and I had to briskly walk across Darlington station to catch my connection!
Thing is, had the council actually bothered to grit the roads, there wouldn't have been much issue today, maybe on a couple routes but not what happened today with the pathetic amount we had!
