Met Office maps show when it is next going to snow in Greater Manchester this week

Snow has fallen across Greater Manchester this morning - and more is on the way this week. Residents across our region woke up to a blanket of snowfall overnight amid freezing temperatures that saw the mercury drop to as low as -5C in some places.

The snow has led to a number of Met Office snow and ice weather warnings being issued for this week. One is in place covering Greater Manchester and much of the North, plus all of Scotland, all day on Tuesday, where the forecaster said: "Further snow showers, perhaps merging into a longer spell of snow, are likely to cause further disruption."

On Tuesday morning, the snow caused a number of travel issues in Greater Manchester. There is reduced service on a Metrolink line due to a 'cracked rail' with some roads also left 'impassable' due to snowfall. Follow our live blog on travel and weather updates throughout the day here.
