The big freeze is still in full force with another icy weather warning for the North East.
Following on from several earlier snow and ice warnings which have been issued during the first few days of 2021, another alert has been issued by the Met Office.
This warns of icy conditions which could be hazardous, between 4pm on Tuesday and 11am on Wednesday.
A ice warning covering the region overnight on Monday has now expired.
In the warning, the forecasters say that ice could form on surfaces leading to difficult travel conditions.
Wintry showers are likely to persist on Tuesday night, and as ground temperatures fall below freezing, ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces.
Some wet snow may fall to low levels at times well inland but any settling will mostly be confined to high ground.
Around 2-5cm of snow is likely above 250 metres, and perhaps up to 10cm in a few places above 400 metres over the north Pennines.
Throughout Tuesday, the North East is likely to see a mix of rain, sleet and snow with temperatures staying close to freezing.
