Met Office issue another snow and ice weather warning

The Met Office has issued a fresh weather warning for Merseyside and parts of the North West.

The warning which covers most of the north is for snow and ice with wintry showers expected over the next two days. It's in place from 5pm today, on Monday, March 13 until 10am tomorrow.

Forecasters report that it will also be very blustery and cold, with temperatures dropping to -2C in the evening. Last week, after the heavy snowfall, chief Met Office forecaster Jason Kelly said: "The worst of the snowfall in England is over for now, but further weather warnings will be in force to cover the further hazards brought by frost and ice."

While Daniel Rudman, deputy chief forecaster said: "There is an increasingly strong signal for colder air to once again feed into the north of the UK during Monday. This flow is likely to extend southwards with much of the UK likely to be under the influence of colder conditions overnight into Tuesday.

"Tuesday is set to remain a cold day, but it is not expected to be as cold as conditions have been this week, and there will be brighter periods for most. There are likely to be some showers too, although any snow fall is expected be over higher elevations."

The weather warning means that some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services. Roads are also expected to be icy.
