Snow has blanketed the region in a scene that wouldn’t look out of place on a Christmas card. And it looks like it is set to stay for a while with forecasts indicating that we can expect more snow across the weekend.
The Met Office has said the weather through Saturday will be freezing with spots of rain. Temperatures will struggle to get above 5C and frost, fog, ice and snow are expected overnight.
Weather maps show that the majority of the snow will fall in the early hours of Sunday (March 12). Up to three centimetres an hour will cover the North East but maps indicate that it will ease off as the sun rises.
