Last year, schools across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, and Cheshire were closed due to the snow and ice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport also closed its runway for several hours while Manchester Airport’s runways temporarily closed overnight on 4 January<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This time, the Met Office has said several models are predicting different outcomes over the coming week, and at the moment it is “on edge”.<\/p>\n

“We might end up in a battleground between the cold air that’s currently here and something milder that wants to come in from the west,” said Alex Burkill, a Met Office meteorologist.<\/p>\n

“When you have milder air hitting against the cold air you often get rain but also sleet and snow.<\/p>\n

“It’s very on edge as to whether it could be wintry.”<\/p>\n

He told the BBC that rainfall would “probably not be enough” to cause significant flooding, but snow would be a problem.<\/p>\n

“If that came off then that would be very disruptive,” said Alex.<\/p>\n

“It won’t be on the level of the Beast from the East, but there would be a significant amount of snow across many parts of England and Wales.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year, schools across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, and Cheshire were closed due to the snow and ice.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13,12,14],"class_list":{"0":"post-675064","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115841653970874253","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
