Cheshire will face a new blow of snow according to meteorologists.
A yellow weather warning for snow and ice has been extended until tomorrow morning.
The region is expected to receive more snowfall and drivers are encouraged to travel only for essential trips.
The Met Office has said that the yellow warning is in effect until 10 a.m. on Tuesday (December 29).
It comes after the county experienced a blanket of snow today (Monday) that delighted many, as residents submitted their photos of the winter scenes.
However, the snowfall also caused great annoyance as drivers experienced long delays on the M6, M56 and other A roads.
A truck jumped due to snow on the southbound M6, causing traffic jams along the M6 between Stoke and Crewe.
There were also close calls on the A55 when a driver managed to escape without injury after his car collided with a barrier.
Meanwhile, there were reports of slow traffic in Knutsford due to snow on Cliff Lane and in other areas of Cheshire East.
Cheshire West and Chester Council began cleaning the region’s roads starting at 2pm on Monday afternoon.
The winter weather will continue tonight and overnight in Cheshire.
The Weather Office reports that icy surfaces will continue to develop, with some snow in some places and advises residents to expect the following:
- Some slip and fall injuries on icy surfaces
- Probably some patches of ice on some untreated roads, sidewalks, and bike paths
A spokesperson for the Meteorological Office said: “Rain can turn to snow, which, along with widespread ice, will lead to the possibility of some disruptions to travel and utilities.”
“Some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer travel times by road, bus and train.
“Some Slip and Fall Injuries on Icy Surfaces
“Probably some patches of ice on some untreated roads, sidewalks and bike lanes.”
