December 1 has been marked in true Christmas fashion with the arrival of snow.
People across South Tyneside awoke to the sight of snow this morning.
Whilst the snow is set to cause problems on the roads and dipping temperatures, it makes Christmas more magical when there's snow on the ground.
We asked our readers to send in photos of their snow days. We were inundated of pictures of snowmen, sledges and dogs enjoying the snow.
Check out the gallery below of the snowy snaps.
