HEAVY snow fell in Bolton this morning but will it last?

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice to run until 6pm today and the town is currently experiencing a heavy shower.

The snow was sticking and becoming increasingly thick in the town centre.

Bolton Council and Highways North West both had gritters out overnight in anticipation of the white stuff falling.

People are being urged to drive to the conditions to makes sure they are safe.

The Met Office is predicting it will become drier after dark after the snow turns to rain this afternoon.

It will be cloudy overnight with patchy rain easing during the evening before it is dry with clear spells overnight.

Tomorrow is expected to be mainly dry, bright and breezy with a few scattered showers and those will mainly be over high ground.

Temperatures will also increase next week and could reach 12 degrees on Tuesday.
