Weather warning: Ice, strong winds, rain and sleet in store for Sheffield
The Met Office has put a weather warning in place from 1am to 11am tomorrow, urging caution over the risk of icy stretches early on Sunday.
People can expect there to be ‘probably ice on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, making for slower journeys’, and an ‘increased likelihood of accidents or injuries from falls’.
