Sheffield weather: Hour by hour forecast for January 7 as snow warning remains

Parts of the city have already seen flakes of snow this morning, but parts could see sleet rather than snow falling this morning.

It comes as the UK enjoyed the warmest ever New Year's Eve on record last week.

Unseasonably mild weather meant Sheffield basked in temperatures of up to 15C on December 31 and the warmer conditions continued over the weekend.

But temperatures have dropped once again this week and the Met Office has now issued a weather warning for snow and ice on Friday January 7, until 12noon today.

So when is snow expected? Here is the hour by hour forecast for Sheffield on Friday, January 7.
