Those dreaming of a 'White Christmas' in the North East may be set for a pleasant surprise over the festive weekend as the Met Office has forecast wintry conditions.
The leading meteorologists have forecast a chilly holiday season for the region with cold air and wintry conditions likely for the North East.
Although the Met Office admit that confidence is 'unusually low' for this period in relation to the exact conditions one should expect, they do forecast a north/south divide nationwide with the risk of cold air, wintry showers and snow more significant in northern regions.
