More snow is forecast to fall on Merseyside this week as the arctic blast that saw temperatures plummet to -14°C in some parts of the UK on Tuesday night continues to bring wintry conditions. The Met Office said it was the coldest January night since 2019.

Overnight temperatures in Liverpool dropped to -1°C, with a 'feels like' temperature of -3°C, and that trend will continue for the next few evenings. It means more frozen cars, precarious footpaths and the potential for travel disruption.
