Weather Forecasts

I drove 8 miles today, I left my house in North Tyneside where the local council has made no attempt to clear the roads of snow, down a dual carriageway with only one lane open and it being just car tracks, onto the A1(m) which is maintained by the Highways Agency I believe, again this was running at 20 mph and was tracks only. I came off there into Newcastle council territory where my mum lives and guess what?? Beautifully clear roads, ploughed and gritted! Shame all the councils are not the same eh??
