Snow has fallen unexpectedly in a Merseyside town.
Yesterday people in Liverpool reported snow on the ground across the city, with a wintry blast also felt in Wirral. One area that rarely sees snow is Formby.
The coastal town has what is known as a maritime climate or oceanic climate, which essentially gives the town milder seasons, with the last significant snowfall coming to the town 12 years ago, according to residents.
