SNOW could fall across parts of East Lancashire this weekend.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning of snow and ice in the North West for Saturday and Sunday.
It comes after the weather forecaster predicted temperatures would plummet to zero degrees for the next two days.
A spokesman for the Met Office said: "There is a risk of snow developing with strong southeasterly winds affecting northern UK on Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning.
"The snow could be heavy at times, especially over hills where blizzards may develop, and is likely to drift in strong winds.
"Across northern England and southern Scotland, snow may turn to freezing rain above 200 to 300 metres leading to widespread ice developing on Saturday night."
People have been warned there could be delays or cancellations to rail and air travel.
