Look NorthIt's day three of the big freeze and there's no sign of conditions relenting.
Once again the thermometer is unlikely to head into positive territory and with severe weather forecast for Scotland, Virgin East Trains have already advised travellers to avoid heading over the Border if they can.
They say because of the conditions services may be delayed, or even cancelled at short notice, anyone with bookings for today will be able to travel on earlier or later trains. Tickets will still be valid tomorrow.
Yesterday about 1,000 schools were closed across the region and the prospect for reopening doesn't look that good this morning.
On the roads, major routes are being treated, but the combination of low temperatures and high winds means that many side roads - even in built up areas - will almost certainly not have been touched and remain very difficult. Pavements too will present a problem.
Slightly better news at our two airports this morning. Again BA has cancelled its late morning Heathrow service at Newcastle.
The early Air France to Paris has been cancelled while Easyjet's Geneva service is delayed.
Metro running but with 'reduced frequency'published at 06:19 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018
Metro travellers are being warned that services are once again affected by the weather.

Mountain rescue volunteers have helped medical staff make their rounds in areas hit by the snowy weather.
The Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team's new 4x4 vehicle was used to transport district nurses to patients in difficult to reach hamlets around Skelton.
It also transported a vulnerable elderly lady, who lived on her own in a remote house, to a residential care home in Loftus.
