Icy weather warnings continue as Southport suffers coldest day yet

Yellow warnings for ice and snow are once again in place for Southport this evening and the early hours.

Exceedingly cold temperatures were recorded across the North West overnight meaning it was the coldest night of this winter so far.

Despite the council saying gritters were dispatched across highways, roads remained slippy and pavements were treacherous this morning.

While Thursday night will be another cold night with a widespread frost, it is not expected to be as cold but warnings are still in place for bad ice.

National Rail have warned wintry weather could affect train journeys on Thursday.
