‘Blizzard’ conditions on the roads as snow comes down across Staffordshire

Driving conditions were 'like a blizzard' on Staffordshire roads this morning, with snow and sleet coming down fast, wind and cold temperatures.

But in most of the county the snow is not landing and the Met Office expects the bad weather to pass over today.

The Met Office has issued a Yellow warning of severe weather with rain, sleet and snow sweeping across the county with the possibility of snow landing on high areas.

Staffordshire Police reported a number of trees down across the county and the roads blocked in some areas.

Wow look at this!!!
