A series of weather warnings have been issued across the UK as the country braces for snow to come from the north.
Northern parts of England, including Greater Manchester, have been issued a yellow weather warning for snow from 7am on Thursday to 2pm on Friday. It means there is a risk that heavy snow will cause disruptions to roads, rail, and air travel.
Meanwhile, some rural communities could become cut off, according to the Met Office, while power cuts may result in services such as mobile phone coverage becoming unavailable for a short time. Similarly, Northern Ireland will have a yellow warning for snow from 7am on Thursday to 2pm on Friday.
