The Met Office is expecting Hartlepool to get its fair share of the storm with snow on the way today and tomorrow morning.
But which was the worst winter you have seen in Hartlepool and what are your memories of it?
And do these nostalgic scenes, which come to us courtesy of the Hartlepool Museum Service and Hartlepool Library Service, remind you of those years?
We want your memories of snowy winters from years gone by.
Take a look at this photo selection and see if it helps to trigger your own recollections.
