Met Office predicts snow will hit the North East in March

They expect temperatures to plummet and for "wintry showers" to end the week.

A spokesperson for the forecaster forecasted that we can all expect things to get windier and "more changeable" as the week goes on.

They said: "Mainly fine on Wednesday, although perhaps on the cloudy side.

"Becoming windier and more changeable later in the week, turning colder too with some wintry showers to end the week."

But is there any snow on the horizon? And if so, when will it arrive?

WX Maps predicts that we could see a centimetre of snow on Friday, March 1.
