Watch as the first snow of autumn falls in Hartlepool as wintry showers blow in from North Sea
The first flurries of snow of the season have landed in Hartlepool.
Snow showers, some heavy, began falling in town on Wednesday morning (November 19) after blowing in from the North Sea leaving a light dusting and slushy roads and streets.
It comes as a Met Office yellow weather warning for snow and ice remains in place throughout Wednesday and Thursday.
The national forecaster stated: “Whilst there will be a lot of regional variation, with some places seeing little or no lying snow, where showers are most frequent accumulations of 2-5 cm are possible.”
The Met Office added: “Where showers persist and/or snow partially thaws and then refreezes overnight, this will bring a risk of ice.”
It is set to feel cold for the rest of the working week, with the temperature in Hartlepool only just above freezing on Wednesday.
Thursday is due to be slightly warmer at 4 degrees Celsius before climbing to a more mild 8C on Saturday.
