and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Sheffield has woken up to a wintry scene today after snow overnight beat predictions and settled after all.


The Met Office predicted sleet yesterday would make the chance of a winter wonderland today unlikely, but residents are opening their curtains to blanketed snow across the Steel City.

Are any roads closed in the snow?
Gritters were out in Sheffield last night on major routes, and there are currently no major roads closed in Sheffield as a result of the snow, according to AA Traffic.
There are also currently (time of writing 7.10am) no major disruptions on the city’s roads.
However, icy conditions will make more of an impact as the morning goes on and traffic builds across the city.

Both sites of King Edward VII School in Glossop Road and Darwin Lane will open at 10.30am to better manage icy conditions on Broomhill and Broomhall’s steep roads.

Not many other schools have clarified whether they have been affected as yet (at the time of writing at 7.20am).

However, a spokesperson said in a statement: “Conditions may change as the rush hour builds throughout the morning so please allow extra time for your journey.”
Trains
Services from Sheffield are mostly unaffected, but there is a reduced service between Doncaster and King’s Cross, which is a frequent connection for commuters leaving Sheffield.
