A yellow warning for ice across Merseyside has been extended into the weekend by the Met Office.
On Friday, December 9, another frosty start is on the cards and it's expected to stay cold throughout the day. Temperatures are due to only reach low single figures, at a maximum of 3C.
According to forecasters, wintry showers will become more frequent along the coast overnight and pushing further inland by the early hours of Saturday. Winds will stay light inland but stronger on the coast and in showers.

The cold weather will continue through weekend and into next week with sleet, snow and ice still possible, especially along the east coast, while inland it will often be dry with widespread hard frosts and patchy freezing fog.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Jason Kelly, said: "Through the weekend and into next week cold weather will continue, with an ongoing chance of wintry showers, mainly for coasts, and freezing fog patches inland. An area of low pressure may then threaten southern and southwestern parts of the UK through mid-week.
"Confidence in the exact track of this system is low, but should it push precipitation into the UK, then this would readily turn to snow, with a lower chance of freezing rain. How far north the milder air gets is also open to a lot of uncertainty, but for now, many central and northern areas are likely to remain in the Arctic airmass."
