Snowed in again

Today’s daytime temperatures of around 7C across the North East will drop to as low as 1C by Thursday, but the cold winds will make it feel like -5C.

The warning adds: “Accumulating snow is likely away from windward coastal districts, especially overnight. Across Northern England 3cm to 6cm could accumulate, especially over high ground. Strong and gusty winds will likely accompany snow showers, and lead to significantly reduced visibility at times, difficult driving conditions and temporary blizzards over high ground.”
