Parts of Merseyside have woken up this morning to a dusting of snow.
However it seems like the snowy weather is behind us, despite temperatures continuing to drop. The Met Office predicts there will be widespread frost and icy patches over the next few days due to the plummeting temperatures but no more snow is on the forecast for the region.
A new weather warning is set to come into force on Sunday, however, as a period of strong wind is set to bring disruption. The Yellow wind weather warning is in place from 6am on Sunday, January 21 until midnight.

The Met Office reports there is a small chance of longer journey times or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected. They say there is also a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs.
The forecast for Liverpool shows temperatures dropping to -3C in the evening, with the outlook for Saturday to Monday reading: "A change is on the way over the weekend and into next week as the weather turns milder, wetter and much windier with coastal gales possible and outbreaks of rain."
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Rudman said: “While the next few days will remain cold, we can see a change in weather type on the way, bringing milder air for the UK and returning temperatures to around average for the time of year from Friday onwards and well above average into next week.
“This change will initially be relatively benign in terms of weather impacts, with a dry Friday and start to Saturday for many in the south of the UK. The Atlantic influence will then introduce some wet and windy weather, with a deep area of low pressure approaching from the west on Sunday. While detail is still being worked out, this has the potential to bring heavy rain and strong winds for some, and we’ve issued an early warning for a large part of the UK.”
