Snow showers have moved in across the north-east of England from the coast but have not deterred some from taking a dip in the North Sea.
The Met Office has issued a snow and ice warning lasting until 23:59 GMT for heavy snow along with icy patches on untreated roads.
Snow has settled in areas including Northumberland, Newcastle, Sunderland, Redcar and Hartlepool.
Travel is likely to be disrupted, the Met Office warned, with several vehicles already becoming stuck in snow and ice in the North York Moors.
