Residents across South Tyneside woke up to a winter wonderland on Saturday, January 3, as snow hit the borough.
Earlier this week, the Met Office put a yellow weather warning in place for snow and ice - with the warning set to be in place until 3pm on Monday, January 5.
The snowfall has brought some impressive wintry scenes to South Tyneside and Shields Gazette readers have been on hand to capture some impressive photos.
A big thanks to Paul Rivers and Steve Mcgrath for sharing these photos with us.
Take a look at the wintry gallery below.
