Gritting crews work round the clock to try to keep County Durham moving amid 'historic' winter weather
Further snowfall, winds of up to 45mph and snowdrifts that are 15ft in places mean conditions remain extremely difficult across the county.
Gritting crews continue to work around the clock to plough and treat priority one routes but with a number of roads remaining closed, motorists are once again being advised only to travel if their journeys are absolutely necessary.
