The 'Beast from the East' UK Extreme Snow Weather - Sheffield Day 2
Local / Sheffield Mar 01, 2018 - 07:00 AM GMTBy: N_Walayat
The 'Beast from the East' weather from Siberia finally hit Sheffield on Wednesday Day 2 after the relative mild Tuesday, with heavy snowfall fall of between 5 cm and 10cm disrupting travel throughout the day as snow flurries continued to fall onto the gritted roads in the coldest weather experienced for at least the past 5 years continuing well into the night! Many motorists decided to do the wise thing and leave their vehicles parked rather than risk driving. However, in the interests of wanting to take a better look at the impacts from the 'Beast from the East's heavy snowfall, I decided to hunt down some of the most treacherous roads to drive in Sheffield, none more so then going to the outskirts of Sheffield, literally within throwing distance of Derbyshire as the this video illustrates, driving in the 'Beast from the East'
"Beast From the East" - Day 1
The 'Beast from the East' weather pattern that the forecasters have been warning off for a good 4 days failed to hit Monday, that saw just a few snow flurries of mostly powdery snow. This is what happened on Day 1 of "Beast from the East" in the northern city of Sheffield.
Day 3 - Thursday
Early signs are to expect even worse weather today than Wednesday as snow has continued to fall leaving roads in an even more treacherous condition than yesterday.
