Storm Bert has completely covered the  North East in snow this morning and here are some of our favourite pictures.

The storm is expected to bring heavy snow throughout the morning before turning into rain this afternoon.

There is an amber weather warning for snow in place as it becomes particularly heavy in some regions of the country.

Here are some of the best pictures of the snow this morning:
