Hour by hour forecast for North East
Residents in parts of the North East have woken up to a blanket of snow as Storm Eunice is set to cause further disruption.
Early on Friday morning, local authorities were out in Tow Law, County Durham clearing roads, while residents were clearing their cars as heavy snow continued to fall.
It is the second storm to hit the UK after Storm Dudley battered the region with winds of up to 80mph suspended a number of Metro services and left homes without power.
The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning which predicted to bring ‘heavy snow’ and ‘strong winds’ for parts of the region through Thursday night until Friday evening.
Elsewhere in the UK, millions braced for “ dangerous conditions ” as winds from the second storm prompted two rare red weather warnings for much of the south of England and part of Wales.
A Network Rail spokesman said disruption is “inevitable” while London North East Railway urged customers with tickets for Friday to travel on Saturday instead or get a refund due to expected disruption and damage.
