Several schools in Merseyside have closed due to unsafe ice after recent snowfall
Merseyside: So, it’s been a bit of a mess lately with the weather. Schools are closing because of this nasty ice that’s making things unsafe. Just the other day, the area woke up to a thick layer of snow and ice, and it’s been a bit chaotic since.
They had a yellow weather warning in place, which is never a good sign. Over the weekend, there was even an amber warning because of heavy snowfall. It really threw a wrench in travel plans, affecting roads, trains, and even flights.
Now, there’s a new ice warning that started on Tuesday evening and is sticking around until noon today. The Met Office is saying that the cold weather isn’t going anywhere, and we should expect more wintry weather across the UK.
They mentioned that snow showers will keep coming down in places like Scotland and Northern Ireland, and it’s going to be chilly. If you’re out and about, just be careful because the freezing temperatures are making everything slippery.
Because of all this ice, several schools have decided to close. They want to keep everyone safe, so the grounds and surrounding areas are off-limits for now. If you’re wondering if your child’s school is closed, it’s best to check directly with them.
Oh, and just a heads up, the list of closed schools is being updated regularly, so keep an eye out for the latest info. Here are a few schools that are closed: Pensby High School, Upton Hall, St Anselm’s College, and a few others.
