Winter is coming: snow warning issued for Sheffield

It’s happening


The MET Office has issued a yellow severe weather warning for snow in Sheffield over the coming week.

Temperatures are predicted to drop even further throughout the week, with rain turning into snow on Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

Make sure to grab your wellies and brace yourself to face the treacherous hills when the snow hits. There’s a reason some roads in Sheffield have hand rails.

The Met Office warning states: “Rain will turn to snow in places later on Tuesday and into Wednesday morning.

“This could bring accumulations of 4 to 8 cm across some hilly areas of northern England and Scotland, largely above 200-300 m, with as much as 15 cm possible above 300-400 m.

“Overnight Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, as snow peters out over Scotland, there is the potential for snow to settle to low levels over parts of Yorkshire and down into the northeast Midlands, though with a good deal of uncertainty about this.

“Please be aware of the risk of difficult driving conditions in some areas.”
