    You're kidding me right??  That's unbelievable mate, it's like the main drag down to the Quayside and into the city centre?  or out of it that's bad.

    I know mate - I was absolutely gobsmacked! Saw a gritter go past late morning today and there hasn't  been once since. It's the main route to the Tyne Bridge this road.

    I could imagine that happening like.  It's a wonder they haven't kept in top of it being a main route out of the city to the likes of Wallsend etc 

    I rang the council around 10pm asking if they could pass a message to gritting as we hadn't seen one go past all day. Their reply was they don't do gritting anymore, it's a private company who can only be reached 9-5. I was waiting for the first car to be embedded in our building!

    South Gosforth.

    Seem to have missed most of the sustained snow. Showers of 5 minutes or less only.

    There is about 2 inches on the ground at most, including the previous snow.

    But to the north/south/west of us there are 5-6 inches widely. Just been in a narrow band of unluckyness!

     

    Gosh you're near to us yet such a difference in conditions. Cars are struggling to get up the hill to the Tyne bridge round the corner from us.
