Snow, sleet and blustery winds are expected across Greater Manchester.
The Met Office has issued a ‘yellow’ weather alert warning of snow and ice across the region.
It runs from 4am today until 11am on Wednesday. Forecasters say snow is more likely to fall in hilly areas.
The first snow showers are expected in Oldham from around 10am.
Heavy snow has also been forecast for Bolton, Rochdale, Bury, Tameside, Salford, and Wigan.
South Manchester and Stockport could escape the worst of the weather, but could see some sleet.
Between 2cm and 6cm of snow is likely in some places, especially on higher ground above 100m and 200m.
The Met Office says a ‘slushy’ 1cm to 2cm covering of snow is more likely at lower levels. Hail is also likely in some places.
Thunder is also predicted.
A Met Office statement read: “At low levels throughout the warning area, 2cm to 8cm will be more typical, with some places seeing very little.
“Showers will be accompanied by hail and lightning at times, particularly across western Scotland. Here, in particular, there is potential for disruption to power supplies from lightning strikes.
“Strong winds bring the potential for temporary blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow, mainly over high ground.”
Another yellow weather alert for strong winds has also been issued for Wednesday.
It’s going to be blustery, with wind speeds of 60 to 70mph predicted.
