Let it snow - but not before we've gone retro with some Wearside wintry scenes from the past.
Weathermen are predicting snowy conditions near our coastline from Wednesday.
To get you in a seasonal mood, here's nine cool photos of snow settling on Austins shipyard, Roker Park, Silksworth ski slope and Mowbray Park.
We've got Durham Road, Seaburn, and a groundsman preparing the pitch at Ryhope for a 1965 FA Cup tie.
Now that's a cool selection from the Echo archives. Have a look.
