Snow hits higher ground in Northumberland and County Durham as forecasters warn of 90mph winds to come

Storms Dudley and Eunice aren't due to arrive in the North East until Wednesday, but snow has already touched down on higher ground in the North East.

Drivers in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty had to navigate icy roads and paths earlier on Monday as villages on the A689 on the border of Northumberland and County Durham got a dusting of freshly fallen snow.

One of those is Nenthead - at 1,500 feet above sea level, it is the highest village above sea level in England, with the remote settlement often seeing heavy snow in the winter months.
