The nights are getting colder and the festivities have begun - but as the big day draws ever-nearer, will we see the first white Christmas in more than a decade or is it going to be a wash out? The Met Office has delivered the forecast.
Christmas in 2010 was the coldest on UK record and the last time snow covered the North East while we unwrapped our presents. But after recent turbulent weather across the North East, with many people still recovering from the flash floods, we cannot be sure what will happen.
The Met Office has now delivered its early long range forecast which includes December 25, but says there is great deal of uncertainty around how the weather is going to play out.
