Some areas of the North East woke up to a blanket of snow on Sunday morning.
But the question on many people's lips will have been, how long is it going to stay? A yellow weather warning has been issued for this week, with up to 20cm of snow expected across the region for Met Office forecasters, though its uncertain whether that will continue to later in the month, and whether we'll see snowfall on Christmas Day.
However, wintry showers, widespread frost and freezing fog are all on the cards between now and Christmas Eve according to the Met Office. Further than that, and into January, the Met Office says that general themes remain "uncertain."
