state of Roads over Teesdale moors?

[IainMac]

Anyone got a recent status of the roads over Teesdale since the recent thaw? thinking of Stanhope/Middleton in Teesdale to Brough. Are they still snow /slush/ice covered or clear?
Cheers

The main road up Weardale (Through Stanhope & Woolsingham) is OK.
Lot's of snow still in the fields - but I havn't used the B road from Stanhope to MIT .

I used it today , its worst north of MIT but the road is open with only some narrowing due to snow bank on the plateau just south of Stanhope. South of MIT its seems clear though very wet from snow melt which may freeze when the temps drop. There was only one patch of ice /slush across the road I noticed and that was just after the bridge crossing coming out of stanhope (ford shut forever?) . Suspect it may change come Thursday and it was sleeting north of Stanhope tonight on the way back.
