THERE were picture pefect scenes across much of the North-East today as the white stuff fell in the early hours of the morning.
Parts of County Durham, Darlington and North Yorkshire were pictured as a blanket of snow covered cars, pavements and the region's roads.
Following on from a yellow, then amber, weather warning for parts of the region, some areas saw between ten and 15cm of snow fall in just a few hours.
We've picked out ten of the best pictures from across the region today:
