More than 12 inches of snow and prolonged cold weather brought disruption for many residents in December 2010.
Schools were closed for several days, and many events and local meetings were cancelled due to hazardous conditions on roads and pavements.
Despite the difficulties residents were well serviced by local shops who kept their doors open. The day after the snow fell Mr Patel's Wine Shop on Catherine Street was open as usual, and like many others across the area, keeping stocked up with bread and milk, which were in great demand. Mr Patel said,
“I was here until 10pm last night and I was here again at 9.30am this morning. We never shut!”
Similar to January 2010, pavements were icy for many days, and residents again complained about the lack of grit. Over the Christmas holiday frozen pipes affected some buildings. Earl Marshal Youth Centre was badly damaged, and Sheffield Futures report that is could be six months before it is repaired.
Alternative accommodation is being sought.
