Well I've given up hope. Any ounce of optimism I had earlier has now gone.

I am going to close all curtains and leave it at that.

I believe in miracaless....

Lets hope you meant miracles but all i can see is a SLUSH fest!

Constant heavy snow Durham. Not the graupel I left behind an hour ago in S Shields, proper small flakes and lying where it can, niceM

[Cloud 10]

Just shovelled about 3.5 million tonnes of snow off the drive-way so that's me fooked!

A foot of snow here now where it has not been disturbed and still snowing moderate.

[Alex95]

There's been very little net decrease in snow cover if I am to look on the bright side of this, and it almost all fell as snow.

[Summer Sun]

Snowing a bit heavier now

[Boro Snow]

Just went out to clear the car off and though about clearing the street so I can get out. Changed my mind, made a coffee, car covered in snow again already. Could do with a JCB...

Heavy sleet here all day yuk, cant expect anything else with a dew point of 1.4. Dissapointing but cant say i wasent expecting it.

On another note does any1 from the stockton/thornaby area now the best taxi firm to use it that area cheers.

[honeytone]

In the middle of a heavier burst in Consett right now, too. Snow's laying faster than the snow-shovelled gang from our estate can clear it!

Getting spoilt still in Consett. Bottom half of the kids garden slide is buried and it's still whipping down

Another snow shower in Newcastle now. At 8 miles inland and 80m asl I must be just getting snow as its rain and sleet on the coast and conditions here aren't normally much different.

They should get themselves to darlo green fields and clear roads an utter contrast to consett, everyone in the rest of the uk must think the whole NE is paralysed when in reality only the hilly parts are
