WINTRY weather has returned to some parts of East Lancashire this morning.

Snow has been reported in Blackburn, Burnley, Darwen and Pendle so far today.

Forecasters said wintry showers are set to continue throughout the weekend.

Lancashire's gritting crews have been put on stand-by to be out in force to keep the county moving.

Lancashire County Councillor Tim Ashton said: "With the short spell of milder weather this week, our gritting teams have had a well-earned respite from long shifts in freezing conditions.

"However, they are prepared and on stand-by to deal with the predicted cold snap.

"We are keeping a close eye on our salt stock levels and are continuing to receive deliveries to our depots."
