Met Office: Cold snap to continue across the North East

The snow may be going away but chilly temperatures below freezing are here to stay, according to the latest forecast by the Met Office.

According to their website, temperatures are set to plunge to as low as -3C later this week with strong wind gusts of over 30mph.

This follows a snowy weekend where a heavy fall saw the region blanketed – leading to mass disruption for business, transport and more.
