The Met Office and weather charts have pinpointed when the next lot of snow is scheduled to arrive in the North East.
After a mixed January of rain, storms, wind and snow, the Met Office has said that more snow might be on the way heading into February, with weather chart website, WX Charts solidifying this claim.
According to WX Charts, Tuesday, February 6, Wednesday, February 7, and Friday, February 9 are the most likely days for snow to arrive in the region.
Moving forward, February 12 is also another day that WX Charts say could bring cold temperatures and snow to the North East.
WX Charts are there to predict the amount of snow, rain, wind, and sun a particular place in the UK will get - and show detailed descriptions of how the weather will be over the next 15-20 days.

Meanwhile - it's highlighted that temperatures will increase at the start of February, before dropping again in the second week of February and into the middle of the month.
This is backed up by the fact that the longer-term forecast on the Met Office site, it predicts colder starts to days in February.
Here is the forecast for the North East moving forward:
Today: Cloudy with drizzle at first, but this will gradually clear during the morning, with dry, sunny but chilly conditions spreading from the northwest across the whole region by midday. Maximum temperature 6 °C.
Tonight: Largely clear skies at first away from high ground, but cloud will increase from the west overnight. Feeling chilly, but with only isolated pockets of frost in prone rural areas. Minimum temperature 1 °C.
Wednesday: Strong and gusty winds, with gales likely in places. Dry for most during the morning, before a band of persistent rain crosses the area during the afternoon, heavy at times. Maximum temperature 10 °C.
Outlook for Thursday to Saturday: Bright start Thursday, but cloud and wind increasing. Rain overnight into Friday and continuing Saturday, heaviest and most persistent over western hills. Drier and milder further east, with brighter spells.
Saturday 3 Feb - Monday 12 Feb: Changeable conditions at first, with spells of mild, wet and windy weather punctuated by drier, cooler interludes. The northwest is likely to see the heaviest and most frequent rain, while the southeast will tend to be drier overall. Largely cloudy with the best of any sunshine in the east. There is a chance colder conditions could then become established more widely during the first full week of February, with an increased chance of wintry weather, especially northern and central UK, should Atlantic clouds and rain be forced to track across the south of the country. Equally, similar conditions to the start of the period could well prevail; confidence is low at this range in the weather type which will become most dominant.
