Wintry conditions are expected to stop later this week and be replaced by warmer, wet and windy weather.
The Met Office reports that the a cold northerly airflow resulted in further snowfall earlier this week but from now on it's only predicted to hit high ground in Scotland, as well as Shetland and Orkney.
Instead, across Merseyside and north west, it will turn wet, windy and a bit milder. That means rain is likely to be the main weather hazard on Thursday and Friday.

Met Office chief forecaster Dan Suri said: "An Arctic maritime air mass has reasserted itself from the north, bringing with it another dose of snow and frosty nights for some. As we head through the second half of the week conditions turn milder, wetter and windier from the west.
"This change to milder conditions will be preceded by some snow over parts of northern England and Scotland later on Wednesday, mainly over higher ground. The far north of Scotland is most likely to hold on to the cold air the longest, possibly lingering until later in the weekend."
The forecast for Thursday has temperatures reaching highs of 13C, with possible localised flooding due to the heavy outbreaks of rain. Into Friday and the weekend, there will be longer periods of rain.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Helen Caughey said: "The transition to milder air in the second half of the week might be welcome for some, but it brings with it wet and windy conditions, as low pressure moves in from the west, which will bring some heavy and persistent rain to some western and northern areas, as well as some gusty winds, especially for exposed coastal areas."
