I'm supposed to be driving from West Yorks to Newcastle this lunchtime (with toddler and 5mo) - can anyone let me know what conditions are like with you? Obviously will check the official channels but am more wanting to know others' perspective on whether you'd drive up the A1 today if it were you.....

Thank you!!

Am just east of York and no snow at all here.

I'm in Sunderland about to go to Newcastle - no snow or anything here. It's just cold !!

I'm Sunderland too!! Not a flake here :-)

Am in south yorks and meant to drive to York and back today. However as its not good here and predicted to get worse am going to take a days holiday today.

In York and not a snowflake to be seen....yet!

Just Leeds then!! (and S Yorks)

I'm in County Durham coast near sunderland and there's no snow but its bloody windy!

A friend has lots of snow in pontefract. Nowt in Newcastle so far though

Hello doublecake !

On the border of north/west Yorkshire and the roads are ok at the moment. It's snowing quite heavily but underneath is wet.

York is fine.

Newcastle is cold but no snow.

York is fine, as is the east of york all the way to Hull from what I can tell. Colleague in Harrogate has 2 inches (oo-err) and is working from home today.

Hi Ken!! Another mackem - I'm amazed! I usually work in Newcastle but it's my day off today :-)

Thank you everyone! Going to set off in an hour or so, reckon we'll be fine!!

South Northumberland here and no snow, freezing cold mind!

Double- I consider myself a mackem too. Although in County Durham I have an SR postcode and family are life long safc fans so that enough for me!

Don't envy you the drive to Newcastle every day!

Roads are fine here in Leeds and very quiet as eveyone seems to have stayed at home.

The A1 to Newcastle will be fine, just check TomTom live traffic before you set off.

Hi Wereon.. I'm guessing at Seaham :-) still no snow here at all!!

East Durham - only the odd flake of snow but the wind is awful. I had to keep my mouth closed when I was walking to pick up the kids because it was like chewing ice cream. And the house is cold. Our house wasn't even this cold on Wednesday when we had more snow than this and no electric all day, so no heating.

I'm not far from York but in East Yorkshire. Bloody freezing, but no snow as yet...

And not Seaham, here - further South and inland a couple of miles.

And ETA, you've probably passed here, by now.

Wish I saw this earlier as I was on the A1 from Scotch Corner to Newton Aycliffe and it was fine then. Its nothing to get excited about up here. You should have made it OK.

It's clear. Freezing cold, icy and windy but no snow lying.
