@TT2Limited So your app (iOS in my case) after it’s update last night isn’t accepting payment, it’s disabled the automatic top up and won’t take a manual payment.

Your vehicle may be #WeatherReady but are you?
This video shows the typical winter gear our #volunteer responders wear whilst deployed. Multiple layers are key.

Good morning North East! Our gritters are still out and about. All routes are currently open but we are seeing difficult driving conditions on the #A66 and the #A1M around #ScotchCorner and #Durham. Please consider if your journey is essential before heading out.

#A19 both directions #A1068 to #B1505 full closure in place due to an ongoing police incident. Traffic diversions in place through #Cramlington.
Expected to be closed for several hours

[Gavin Duffy @Jock_Muttley]

@dharford79 Dave, has there been a change of policy / advice with regard to this or is this ONLY for live Lane incidents / breakdowns not hard shoulder where you should still use the Orange phones.

[Gavin Duffy @Jock_Muttley]

@NNPMRT @NlandNP Is it just me or is there a slight spec of sentimental pride that has to be wiped from ones eye when seeing this

[Gavin Duffy @Jock_Muttley]

@NNPMRT @NlandNP That would be the ubiquitous and sorely missed Sea King 👍

[Gavin Duffy @Jock_Muttley]

@Lethalleathard @NorthumbriaNHS So go on, what was it? You can’t leave us all wondering here.

[4x4ResponseNorthEast @4x4ResponseNE]

What can we say apart from a very genuine and heartfelt #ThankYouNHS

@BrightIntl20 is @NorthumbriaNHS own staff charity and they have donated these amazing @KeelaOutdoors Sherpa jackets for our responders to wear.

Thank you so much #NHS

@NNPMRT @mountainenergy @iain_nixon @jcxplore @MRSearchDogsEng @MountainResqUK @NOTMRT @twsmrt1 @edalemrt @NlandNP @discovernland Decent boots and socks combo - happy feet are critical.

Here are my cold weather high leg boots and my superb @KeelaOutdoors expedition socks - as a 4x4 Responder they are my go to gear for our role in all weathers.

Boots are about to get some TLC!

StaySafe

[Gavin Duffy @Jock_Muttley]

@DurhamRPUSC @DurhamPolice @DurhamSCChief @RuralCops Stay Safe folks 👍

[Lanty @DarrenLant]

Loads of snow on the roads today.. take extra care. Lights on, clear your window, not just a tennis ball size hole, plenty space, slow down, allow extra time & if it’s a long journey make sure you’ve got warm gear packed. Don’t forget the #whatthreewords app in case you need us

[North East Live Traffic @NELiveTraffic]

🌨 Drivers are urged to be careful this morning on the regions roads as snowfall is picking up in places, see pics A167 Cowgate

@TheSandK @INRIXtraffic_N

[4x4ResponseNorthEast @4x4ResponseNE]

A number of minor weather related incidents in the higher parts of our region due to snow.

A68 at Carter Bar LGV has jackknifed after the border but there is traffic queuing for at least 2 miles into Northumberland.

@StonyhurstCCF That death stare from the RSM is almost as scary as Bill Phillips’ one
