But will the white stuff affect us in the North East too - or have we escaped the first flurries of the winter for now?

While temperatures dropped to below freezing last night, the next few days are expected to be milder.

It's not all good news, however, as we could be in for some heavy ran, and, later in the week, strong winds.

The Met Office says tonight will be cloudy, with rain becoming persistent and locally heavy, especially over the hills.
