A three-day snow warning has been issued for almost all of England, including Merseyside, this weekend as the Met Office issued a fresh warning. A yellow warning is in place from noon on Saturday until 9am on Monday and covers all regions of England other than the south west.
Wales will also be affected as will parts of southern Scotland. The Met Office said there is a small chance of power cuts and mobile phone coverage being affected, while there could also be delays and cancellations to flights and trains.
The warning covers all of Merseyside. Below is a map showing where the snow will hit the country.

The Met Office said: “Outbreaks of rain spreading northeastwards later on Saturday and overnight into Sunday will likely be preceded by a spell of snow on its northern flank. Whilst there is a fair bit of uncertainty as to how far north this may spread, and how long any snow will last, significant accumulations of snow are possible, especially (but not exclusively) on hills.
“Currently, parts of the Midlands, Wales and northern England are most at risk of disruption, where 5cm or more could accumulate fairly widely, with perhaps as much as 20-30 cm over high ground of Wales and/or the Pennines. This, accompanied by strengthening winds, may lead to drifting of lying snow.
“In addition, as milder air attempts to move northwards into southern and central areas, snow may turn to a spell of freezing rain for a time, adding to the risk of ice. If milder air is able to spread more bodily northwards, any snow in southern parts of the warning area may be relatively short-lived before turning to rain.”
