Disruption continues as heavy snowfall leads to school closures in Merseyside, including the Wirral area. Liverpool Airport shut and Merseyrail services face disruption.

Travel disruption is set to continue today (Tuesday, January 7) as Merseyside is once again covered in a thick blanket of snow. Heavy snowfall on Sunday (January 5) saw flights delayed, rail services cancelled and roads closed.

A yellow weather warning for snow and ice is in force until 10.00am, covering Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, St Helens, Knowsley and Halton, and a number of schools will remain closed due to the adverse conditions.
