According to that map it's about twenty minutes away.

Looking out the door there are a few wet flakes but nothing much.

The Met Office have been predicting a heavy fall since Friday. But they keep putting it back. It's getting desperate now. At this rate I may have to go into work tomorrow.

Hoping for a whiteout at 150m above sea level here 😉 But it hasn't come. I might have to play the old, Iced driveway / I own a BMW card if the snow doesn't arrive.

absolutely chucking it down in Newcastle. Doubt the roads are going to be clear for much longer, forecast for at least another 36 hours of heavy snow as well.
