In addition to the snow and ice, strong winds are expected - leading to blizzard conditions
Snow blizzards are set to hit Lancashire this week, as the public are urged only to travel if necessary.
Lancashire County Council's highways teams are gearing up for a very busy weekend with the expectation that gritting crews will be working around the clock to try to keep traffic moving on the main routes. The council has already been gritting the further network of second priority roads which are treated during daylight hours in continuous icy conditions, and includes some roads giving access to the main routes, to try to reduce the impact of the ice and snow as much as possible once it arrives.
"Our highways teams will be doing their best to keep the main routes passable, but there is a limit to the effect that gritting the roads with salt will have during heavy snow, so I would ask people to think very carefully about whether it’s a good idea to try to travel in those conditions.
