Parts of Merseyside are waking up to a blanket of snow with a flurry of wintry white showers expected throughout the day. Snow is falling and settling on Merseyside today, Sunday, with the Met Office putting in place a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in place for much of the day.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “Snow showers are expected to push further inland across Wales, parts of north west England, the west midlands and south west England during Sunday evening. Along windward coasts, some rain and sleet is likely, but inland showers will fall as snow.
“Whilst not all locations in the warning area will see snow, 1-3 cm could develop in many places by Monday morning, with the potential for 5-8 cm to build up in a few locations, particularly across inland and higher parts of Wales. Icy stretches are likely to form widely.”
Images sent to the ECHO from Aigburth and Everton this morning show snow covering the ground. The ECHO will provide live updates of the weather in Merseyside and the wider north west. If you have any pictures of snow settling in your area, please send them to us.
