As many of us put up our Christmas trees this weekend and started getting festive, snow arrived. At first exciting and seasonal, the snow, ice and cold however, starts to become damaging and dangerous. And when followed by winds and driving rain like today, down right destructive.

All over the North East right now there is soggy cabling, rusting dishes and compromised aerials. Having been frozen, battered by the winds and waterlogged, the damage may be unseen, but your TV picture quality will certainly be suffering.

So what to do? To be honest whilst this weather continues not a lot. The two Mrs Smith's are very clear that there is to be no climbing and clambering up walls and on roofs or chimneys by their men folk whilst there is any risk to them!

The main thing you can do is ring Jayne in the office and get yourself on our list for us to come and see you as soon as possible. Especially with Christmas approaching, as we get busy at this time of year tuning in new TVs and hanging them on walls!

The other thing you can do is book in a health check - even if your TV hasn't lost its high quality picture, after this weekend, there is more snow forecast before Christmas which could be the final straw for any equipment just about holding on. After all, we are sure the only snow you want to see is outside and not a on fuzzy white screen on the telly!!
