There is also a small chance that roads, bridges and railway lines could close and there could be significant disruption and delays to travel.
‘Signifcant snowfall’ could also occur over hills and higher ground.
Amber weather warnings are also in place for other areas of the country on Wednesday and Thursday – and even though there isn’t currently one for Sheffield on those days, ‘severe gales’ have been forecast, alongside long periods of heavy rain.
