As the new year settles into its first full week, Greater Manchester finds itself in the grip of a cold that is more than seasonal inconvenience — it is a reminder of winter's quiet authority over daily life. The UK Health Security Agency has issued a cold weather alert running from Saturday morning through January 12, as falling temperatures, freezing fog, and an easterly wind conspire to make the region feel colder than the thermometer alone can convey. Saturated ground from weeks of wet weather now waits to become ice, turning familiar streets and pavements into something more treacherous.
