Will it snow on Merseyside ?

No snow is forecast on Merseyside, as the snow is staying close to eastern UK as rain hits the colder air.

Although it is cold enough to snow across the region, no rain is is expected to fall near the area, so there is non expected.

Ground temperatures only need to be 2C for it snow, busting the myth that it needs to be 0C for the white stuff to appear.
