The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice affecting the North East this week.
Forecasters say snow showers and icy surfaces will bring some travel disruption to the region. The weather warning runs between 12pm on Tuesday, December 13, and 12pm on Thursday, December 15.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "Wintry showers will affect many areas of northern Scotland and parts of North East England during this period. A few centimetres of snow are likely to accumulate at low levels with the potential for as much as 15-20cm over higher ground. In addition, ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces, mainly where some of the showers fall as sleet close to coasts."
