Meanwhile, almost all of the rest of the county has been issued with a less severe yellow warning for snow over the same two days. That warning states that "heavy snow has the potential to cause disruption on Thursday and Friday". The Met Office says power cuts are possible as are delays on the road and cancellation to rail services. The warning area excludes parts of Blackpool, Thornton and Fleetwood along the coast but those areas can still expect temperatures as low as 1C.
