JUST arrived at work after a nightmare journey through the snow from Hurworth, which is only a few miles outside of Darlington.

Weather like this can really affect the production of the paper.

A lot of staff still haven't made it in to work and we have to gauge conditions for the van and lorry drivers who will be distributing copies of the paper to newsagents early in the morning.

It looks like we'll be publishing only one edition and getting the pages produced as quickly as possible to be sure to be in the shops on time tomorrow morning.

We'll be doing our best to produce as normal a paper as possible but it's clearly going to be a challenge.

I'll keep you posted during the day.
