We had a sprinkling of snow at Christmas, but Wearside has had to wait until the week before Valentine’s before seeing a real blanket of the white stuff.
As lockdown continues, it really brightened up the daily walk for many families.
And, keeping at a distance, many headed out for the slopes with their sleds.
