Snow predicted to hit Preston during rush-hour
The news will no doubt delight workers trying to make their way home through the evening rush-hour, but don't despair, as according to the Met Office, the heaviest snow is due to fall at around 9pm this evening.
A statement on the Met Office website predicts: "Further sleet and snow showers tonight, with possibly a spell of more widespread rain, sleet and snow moving southwards after midnight, with gales in places. Icy conditions for many. Minimum Temperature -4 °C."
The news comes as the Grane Road was closed earlier due to icy and snowy conditions.
