Met Office predictions for Lancashire as amber warning for snow issued

The cold snap is well and truly underway – and the Met Office has issued amber weather warnings for snow and ice.

In Lancashire, most areas will be affected by the adverse weather. Snow will be seen across northern England. Through this evening (Saturday, January 4), snow will accumulate, continuing into Sunday, before it turns to rain.

Met Office chief forecaster Jason Kelly, said: “This weekend will bring a range of weather hazards to the UK, notable snow accumulations, freezing rain, ice and heavy rain as well as some gusty conditions. We have issued a number of severe weather warnings, including Amber warnings for snow and ice in parts of England and Wales.

“Some significant accumulations of snow are possible across parts of Wales, the Midlands and northern England in particular, where 5 cm or more could accumulate fairly widely, with as much as 20-30 cm over high ground of mid and north Wales and potentially 30-40 cm over parts of the Pennines. This, accompanied by strengthening winds, may lead to drifting of lying snow.”
