The latest Met Office weather maps show snow will fall over parts of Greater Manchester within the coming days.

Temperatures are expected to plunge in the coming week with the weather in many parts of the UK dipping below freezing.

At the end of last week, Met Office forecasters warned of a "widespread wintry spell" which could see snow fall on the hills and mountains in Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, and possibly North Wales.

The weather agency said the colder spell is due to a flow of Arctic air will push south across the UK.

As off 5.30pm on Sunday, the Met Office's latest weather maps for the coming days show snow falling in the Lake District, and parts of Northumbria, at around 3am on Tuesday morning - with more again later in the afternoon. V
