Yet more snow and ice is set to hit Lancashire, with the Met Office issuing a new 22-hour weather warning.

The warning covers all of Lancashire and will be in force from midday on November 21 until 10am the following day.

Wintry showers and icy patches are expected this evening and overnight, leading to travel disruption.

Injuries from slips and falls are also likely on untreated surfaces.

The warning comes as the UK braces for Storm Bert this weekend.


The second named storm of the season will bring very strong winds, heavy rain and, for a time, snow and freezing rain.

A yellow weather warning for snow and rain covering most of Lancashire will subsequently be in place from 4am on Saturday, November 23 until 9am on Sunday, November 24.

Chorley, Fleetwood, Lancaster, Morecambe and East Lancashire are among the areas included.

Forecasted warned heavy snow on Saturday, followed by a rapid thaw and subsequent rain on Saturday night, may cause some disruption.
