ANOTHER cold spell of weather is set to hit the North West of England over the next few days after forecasters released a warning.

The Met Office have issued a 'yellow' warning for ice and snow in Burnley on Saturday.

Forecasters said: "A band of rain will turn more widely to snow early Saturday morning followed by scattered snow showers through the remainder of the day.

"These showers may become more prolonged, particularly during the evening.

"Any melting of lying snow will lead to an ice risk on untreated surfaces on Saturday morning and night.

"Travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel is possible.

"Some rural communities could become cut off and power cuts may occur.

"Some injuries from slips and falls are possible on icy surfaces."
