Sheffield has woken up to snow this morning, with high ground hit by a light covering.
Many parts of the city had seen the first flakes fall at around 4am, and by 7am a covering could be seen in places.
However, weather forecasters at the Met Office do not expect today’s early Sheffield snow to last long.
Even at Hallam Head, one of the highest parts of the city, the forecast today is for sleet showers rather than snow., with that turning to rain by 9am.
That in turn is due to turn from heavy rain to light rain at 10am, with that light rain continuing until 3pm, and turning to fog at 4pm.
Lower ground is forecast only rain, rather than sleet, at 8am.
