The north-east of England has seen three consecutive days of snow and, with weather warnings in place along the coast until 11:00 GMT on Tuesday, more is expected throughout Monday.

The Met Office warned travel is likely to be disrupted with icy patches forming on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

But still people across the region have been out and about enjoying the weather - while it lasts.

The back of the beach is part covered in snow but the sand nearest the sea is a brown colour. The cliffs and ground surrounding have snow in patches or lines, with sections of brown and green land poking through. The sea has chopping waves and the sky looks grey and stormy.

The sky above it is dark but illuminated by street lights, turning the middle an orange colour. There is snow on the ground surrounding the football ground. A statue and a few footprints are the only signs of life. On the corner of the stadium, the Sunderland badge and the words Welcome to the Stadium of Light are illuminated.BBC Weather Watchers/MackemIan

The snow glistens as if gems have been scattered across it, but it is ice droplets reflecting street lights. The sky is starting to get light and is a deep blue colour. There are houses in silhouette behind the car, with a few rooms with lights on. There is a street lamp to the right which is still on and large leafless trees.BBC Weather Watchers/TheAdder
