The yellow weather warning for snow and ice comes after days of traffic chaos, school closures and rail cancellations
Schools across Merseyside have once again closed following snow and ice. Today is the sixth day in a row the region has been hit with a weather warning.
The yellow weather warning for snow and ice comes after days of traffic chaos, school closures and rail cancellations as a result of the disruptive weather. The latest warning for Merseyside began at 12.15am on Thursday, January 9 and is in place until 11am.
The Met Office said: “Showers, mostly of rain and sleet at low levels and near coasts, but of snow inland and over higher ground, are expected to affect the area later Wednesday night and on Thursday morning.
“With many surfaces below freezing, this will lead to some icy stretches on untreated surfaces, while a few cm of fresh snow could affect some areas, mainly places above about 100 metres.” Below is an hour by hour forecast for the hours the weather alert is active.”
Some schools have also made the decision to close to staff and pupils due to the weather. Below is a list of schools closed that the ECHO are aware of. If you’re child’s school is not included in the list, email us at [email protected].
