New map from Met Office shows everywhere in the UK it will snow
The Met Office has updated its map of the UK to show where snow is set to fall. The yellow warning is in place from 7pm on Monday, November 18 to 10am on Tuesday, November 19.
Forecasters said an area of snow "may bring disruption" during Monday night and Tuesday morning. A map shows the snow and ice warning covers the North West, North East, West Midlands and parts of Scotland.
Snow and ice is set to cover the majority of Merseyside apart from the coastal areas such as Hoylake, Formby and Southport. The Met Office said people can expect a small chance power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.

It added there is also a small chance untreated pavements and cycle paths become impassable, a slight chance some rural communities could become cut off, a slight chance bus and train services may be delayed or cancelled, with some road closures and longer journey times, a small chance of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces and a small chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.
Chief Meteorologist, Andy Page, said “We have issued yellow warnings for snow and ice as cold weather moves in from the north. This brings snow showers and some ice to parts of Scotland on Sunday night, and then the potential for a spell of snow to lead to disruption to some transport routes across a central swathe of the UK on Tuesday morning.
"Gusty winds in the east also remain a potential hazard. Updates to the warnings for wintry hazards are likely so it is important to stay up to date with the latest forecast” In addition to the severe weather warnings, a Cold Health Alert has been issued by the UKHSA which provides alerts for the health sector in England. The alert covers the Midlands and North of England from Sunday morning through to Thursday.
