East Lancashire can expect more cold weather over the next few days, with a yellow warning in place for snow on Sunday and Monday.

The Met Office predicted light rain and a few fog patches for Saturday with highs of 4C.

However, there could be gusts of up to 28mph on Sunday with temperatures falling to 1C.

Temperatures are likely to drop as low as -1C on Monday, but will feel like -4C because of the wind chill.

The weather warning is in place from 3am on Sunday to midnight on Monday, with the potential of up to 10cm of snow falling in places in the North West.

Why do you morons continually attack teachers. I KNOW, has a parent of a teacher, just how much work they go. When you total the hours per week including hours at home working my daughter regularly puts in a 80 hours week. You simply don't know and are totally ignorant, a clear failure at school who most likely can't or won't get a job.

Spelling lessons? "Has a parent"? Should read, as a parent. "Actually go"?
"go" should be do, I think. I tend not to correct errors on these pages as spelling/grammatical errors are easy to do on these sites. So if I make an error or see an error I usually accept it is just that, an unintentional error. I do not pull up the writer just to try and make a point.

My point exactley,I was typing what had been written, the only thing missing are quotation marks,do you really think i would pull someone on the spelling of a comment and then do the same myself.

Why do you wrongly assume we were failures at school and don't have a job.......I have several professional qualifications and hold a very highly regarded post........oh and yes I went to a school which never closed in snow

Thanks

Yet again, pathetic scaremongering to make a headline.

It was painfully predictable that there wouldn't be a hint of snow - just another tedious, mild, wet, grey Sunday in Lancashire.

They may as well just sack all the weather forecasters and employ a local farmer who would probably give far more accurate predictions.

The errors are not spelling errors merely typing errors , but it is good that people spot them. I think the reasons that schools have to close is for safety reasons, the teachers themselves do not make the decisions. The reason I used the word morons is that any well educated person would know just how much hard work is involved in training to be a teacher and then actually doing the job. For the record my daughter has been in her room olanning lessons for next week for the last four hours, as a lot of other teachers will be doing. I am really surprised at the anti-teacher comments I often read and wonder how much of this negativity rubs off on to their children.

As a teacher I can say that we do not make the decision to close. It is at the heads discretion and based on safety. Also a school cannot run if teachers cannot get in! If there was an accident at school or on the way to school then everyone criticising teachers would have something to say.

And if so many days are lost due to snow then teachers are asked to make this up over an inset day at a later date.
