Over the past week temperatures across Greater Manchester have plummeted, leading to heavy snow in many parts of the region.
A yellow Met Office weather warning for snow and ice remains in place for Friday until the afternoon with an additional warning for snow and ice for Saturday afternoon and evening. Meanwhile, a more severe amber warning for heavy snow will briefly be in place until lunchtime today, affecting eastern parts of Greater Manchester.
It means that there will be an increased risk of travel disruptions and danger to health throughout the weekend due to snowy and icy conditions, with many being urged to stay inside and keep warm if they are susceptible to adverse health conditions resulting from the weather.
