The ice lines the shore at Ainsdale beach in Sefton, amid the increasingly cold temperatures.
The lowest temperature on Thursday night across north-west England was -8.2C at Shap. It was -6.3C in Blackpool and -4.8C in Crosby.
Temperatures rose in Crosby on Friday to 5C , in Blackpool it was below zero until midday and only reached 4C . The ice likely formed as a very thin layer but was broken up and pushed ashore as the tide came in during the morning, allowing it to pile up along the shoreline. Very shallow water is more prone to freezing, especially when winds are relatively calm and there are few if any waves. It looks as if conditions were perfect for some ice formation.Why not follow BBC North West on
