Sunday snow: Your pictures from today's snowfall around the North East

And while it made driving hazardous and conditions a bit slippy underfoot, lots of you made the most of it.

We asked to see your snow pictures from wherever you were in the region - and how you responded.

Thanks to everyone who sent theirs in - sorry we couldn’t use them all.

Our favourite is Crystal the snow-woman, sculpted by Stephen and Jac from South Shields, “to celebrate the Year of the Woman”!
