Even Michael might get some.

good ol' netweather. I have a skylight window (diagonal), and there's nothing to see due to snow cover. My room is dark as a result. It's like an igloo.

Normally can see far out of the window -- [Image: a5fe8cdf0fc726a89dde8a2667067ac1.jpg]

They have a downside!

Gne reporting lots of parts of East Durham they can't serve. Arriva silent as ever, but I've seen 2 buses get through in 2 hours.


RE: Weather - BusLoverMum - 30 Nov 2017

Whehey! A bus just went past!

Husband's having to pick littlun up from school because I've had no means of getting there.


Weather - Jimmi - 30 Nov 2017

Some people can't seem to comprehend the fact it's snowing, was waiting for a bus to Aycliffe in Darlington at 13:55, rejected a busy 7 after checking the app to see the 19 that would become my 5 was on time, at this point some woman starts whinging about the fact that the 13:50 service 8 to Spennymoor hadn't turned up yet and started saying that it was a joke that it wasn't here, "they've taken it off" etc, could have told her it would be 37 minutes late arriving into Darlington but she would probably have only start whinging even more. In the end she boarded my 5 to Bishop Auckland and kept moaning.

After boarding the 5 the weather looked a bit like this.[Image: 930847b2b3274842e606b9009d82460e.jpg]

YouTube or You've Been Framed.
If I was caught on CCTV performing a spectacular slip and fall in the snow earlier on, my next media appearance may be earlier than I thought.

Husband ended up skidding in spenny. I'd be surprised if the 8 could keep time at all.

That's why I used my stick when I trudged down to the surgery, earlier (only to find my prescription wasn't ready)

Durham tweeted that they'd be out from 5am and, despite the fact that it's snowing again, things are passing our house (on a hill) without problem. They probably have a much bigger gritting budget than Sunderland, mind, what with all the hills.

Had some blooming loud thunder, around midnight.


RE: Weather - BusLoverMum - 18 Jan 2018

Expected some activity on this thread. Is Michael snowed in?

Glad I'm not in Darlo, this morning. Gridlock and it's so bad that arriva have actually bothered to mention all the cancelled services on Twitter.

I have all the boys home. Littlun's school is closed, bigun's taxi couldn't run and husband looked at the traffic reports between here and teesside and decided to work from home.

Snow didn't look that bad at Cramlington today, at least on the roads anyway so thought my journey would be fine. Could not have been more wrong though... I left Cramlington on the 7:43 X10 and did not get to Newcastle until 9:35. Just 1 hour and 10 minutes longer than yesterday. Wonder what would happen if it was more serious here?

Still at least I was not on this X7...

That's what east Durham ends up looking like when there's ongoing snowfall.

We just need a brolly when we leave the house, now, because there's water pouring off the scaffolding. At least we have 7/8 of a roof, now!


RE: Weather - Michael - 19 Jan 2018

Snowing again in Sunderland... =D

I wish i was!, i spent most of the day outside at work, which i don't mind, i like the snow! Tongue


RE: Weather - Michael - 22 Jan 2018

The path in front of mine, is just ice, hope some of it melts by 6pm tonight.


RE: Weather - BusLoverMum - 01 Feb 2019

Yeah we got some weather, alright.

Durham City has been gridlocked all morning.
