Met Office issues TWO amber snow warnings for Greater Manchester in major update
manchestereveningnews.co.ukWintry weather looks set to cause major disruption in the UK and across Greater Manchester - just days after devastating floods.
Two amber alerts have been issued by the Met Office. Both warnings hit Greater Manchester. An amber warning for snow and ice covers Manchester, Salford, Stockport Tameside and Trafford, plus southern parts of Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and Wigan boroughs.
It runs from 6pm on Saturday (January 4) to midday on Sunday. In these areas, the Met Office says 'snow and freezing rain will likely lead to disruption to transport and some other services'.
It warns there is a 'good chance' of power cuts, plus disruption on roads, railways and airport runways. Untreated pavements and cycle paths are likely to be impassable, with a risk of falling on ice.
