Snow hits Oldham for the first time this year

Snowfall in Oldham

Snow has fallen for the first time in 2020 in Oldham.

It has been sticking in parts of the town after some heavy snowfall this morning.

But it is not likely to hang around, with warmer temperatures bringing rain later on today.

The maximum temperature later will hit 6°C.

It is expected showers will continue through the evening, with wintry weather over the hills - though the Met Office says showers will easy overnight.

They are warning ice patches are likely to form, with temperatures dropping to freezing as Tuesday becomes Wendesday.

There will be an icy start to Wednesday, with blustery showers and snow again in higher areas - that could get heavier later in the day.
