Bury & Rochdale to be hit by snow as yellow weather warning issued

Greater Manchester is under a weather warning, as an area of snow may disrupt the northern and central parts of the UK on Monday night and Tuesday morning.

A yellow warning is in place for snow and ice from 7pm tonight (Monday) until 10am tomorrow (Tuesday), covering areas such as East Midlands, North East England, North West England, Yorkshire & Wales. 

A period of rain, sleet and snow will occur during Monday evening, overnight into Tuesday morning.

The most likely scenario is for most of the snow to accumulate on hills, with 5 to 10 cm possible above 200 metres and perhaps as much as 15 to 20 cm above 300 metres. There is a small chance of snow settling at lower levels, where 5 to 10 cm would prove much more disruptive, but this remains very uncertain.

As rain, sleet and snow clear on Tuesday morning, ice may form on untreated surfaces.

The Met Office say there is a slight chance that public transport services may be delayed or cancelled, with some road closures and longer journey times, as well as that untreated pavements and cycle paths become impassable. 

There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected

There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off. 

They are also warning of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.
