My poor wife is stuck somewhere off the A19 - she left work at 5.30!! Usually takes her 20-25 mins to get home.

The main problem is gridlocked traffic - she says the road is just a sheet of ice. Every tiny hill causes gridlock as some twit in a rear wheel drive car spins out in first gear.

Feel a bit useless sitting here but really, there's nothing I can do 🙁

@ user-removed - which bit of the A19 is that? I'm s'posed to be heading up from Bristol to Durham tomorrow (by train) but am wondering if the people I'm meeting will actually get in to their offices (or indeed if I can get from Durham station which is on a lovely steep hill...).

Hope your wife gets back ok!

drain;

A19 Cold Hesledon, northbound between B1285 and B1404 Seaton Lane
A19 County Durham - A19 in Cold Hesledon closed and stationary traffic northbound between the B1285 junction and the B1404 Seaton Lane junction, because of an accident involving two lorry's. Congestion to Sheraton.
Updated 23 minutes ago
From the BBC travel site.

So it's North of Durham and will probably be sorted by tomorrow anyway.

Aye it is a fair old bank up to Durham station - you might be better off parking in the multi-story car park. Will your colleagues get to their office? Depends where they live - if they're out in the hills it might be a bit touch and go...

EDIT - sorry just re-read your post and see you're taking the train. Be prepared for the folk you're meeting to be a bit late at best.

Anyone in Talybont, Brecon? I'm supposed to racing there tomorrow night, but wouldn't mind knowing what shape the A40 is in and whether it's worth the risk driving there. AA isn't showing any issues. No snow here in the balmy Cotswolds.

The A40 should be fine, that is the most major road in Dyfed & Powys, so all Highways will be working to keep it open. Pretty simple from the A40 to Talybont, so you should be OK.

I would imagine that Brecon has similar snow to us, as it is only 20 miles away but not sure.

It was snowing a bit in Edinburgh. It's around -2 to -3 now so the snow does not melt. My ride from work was very "interesting" as I was on my road bike.

Just under an inch snow Hereford / Powys border, but apparently much more over towards Builth Wells; problem here will be the minor roads and ice as it`s just the A44 and other A / B roads that will probably be treated, and sub zero temps making them icerinks (-9c overnight at Sennybridge). Ground has already been frozen solid for two days now

>> (-9c overnight at Sennybridge)
Hmmm, still wondering whether it's worth going to Brecon this evening to run around the hills for four hours...

Still mild, and getting warmer and less snow-like in the Cotswolds. Might put my shorts on.

Just been out in the van, pushing the snow off the track before it sets hard and has to be dug out. Got around a foot, with drifts of two feet. I love snow chains.

Still coming down here in Northumberland. Had a few hours break from it about 2am to 7am but been showers on and off since.

Nights too Woody, we did 2 jobs but too over 4 hours each to do. Least they were genuine though.
