The white stuff is expected to fall over parts of Burnley, Lancaster, Darwen and Padiham this afternoon. The flakes could show up north in Manchester, carrying into the North West and along through to the Scottish border - with Blackpool and Lancaster among the areas potentially affected. The Met Office said the UK would see "sunny spells and blustery showers" on Friday and Saturday, which would be "falling as snow over northern hills".
