Heavy snow is forecast to hit Salford later this week, according the Met Office.
Temperatures are said to drop during the week and Met Office has issued a yellow warning on Thursday and Friday – meaning snow could cause disruption across the city.
Snow of between 1-3cm is possible across the warning area, while icy surfaces will be an additional hazard.
Forecasters have warned that people travelling could face difficult driving conditions and transport disruption with snow and ice alerts issued for parts of the country.
There is a risk of power cuts, travel delays and some rural communities becoming cut off, the forecaster said.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, Chris Almond, said: “While the early part of this week will see some rain, at times heavy, gradually sinking southwards, there’s an increased signal for wintry hazards as we move through the week as cold air from the north moves over the UK.”
Further warnings for ice could also be issued later in the week as temperatures drop below average for this time of year, the forecaster said.
