Parts of Greater Manchester could see blizzard-like conditions today (December 26), forecasters have warned.
The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow in Northern England with heavy downfalls already causing travel problems in the early hours of Sunday morning.
National Highways warned of hazardous driving conditions on the M62 between junctions 21 for Milnrow and 23 for Huddersfield overnight.
At 6.30am one lane was still covered with snow, but conditions were expected to improve throughout the morning.

National Highways: Yorkshire tweeted: "The conditions on the #M62 have improved and we now have at least 2 lanes clear of snow between J21 and J23 in both directions.
"As traffic increases the snow on will clear further.
"There are no delays in the area."
However Snake Pass remains closed due to snow.
Traffic information service Inrix confirmed the road is closed between the A6013 at Ladybower Reservoir and Hurst Road at the Royal Oak Inn.
Inrix added the A628 Woodhead Pass remains open, although it has also been affected by snow.
Traffic service Manc Travel was also reporting tricky driving conditions on many of the high roads to the east of the region including the A58 in Littleborough and the A672 from Oldham to Ripponden.
Forecasters expect the disruptive conditions to last until around midday today, while a yellow warning for rain remains in place until 9am.
The snow brings with it a cold snap as the wintry weather in parts of the UK continues.
A Met Office spokesman said: "As an area of rain moves northwards, it looks like turning to snow over parts of northern England, and then southern and central Scotland.
"Accumulations of 2-4 cm of snow are possible above 200 metres and 5-10 cm above 300 metres.
"Coupled with strong winds, gusting to 35 to 45 mph in places, this is likely to lead to some difficult travel conditions across higher Pennine and Cumbrian routes, as well as the Southern Uplands, during the early hours of Sunday.
"Temporary blizzard conditions may be encountered above around 300 or 400 metres elevation.
"These conditions will probably move into some hillier central parts of Scotland during Sunday morning, while snow turns back to rain further south."
