Running weather in Sheffield

If you're planning anything outdoors in Sheffield, the city's hills and Peak District proximity shape almost everything — Sheffield itself can have several different microclimates within its own boundary, and snow lingers here when neighbouring cities just stay wet. The Pennines provide some shelter from Atlantic systems but the high ground around the city means colder winters and shorter summers than the lowland north.
