Going round our region, if you were on higher ground, it would have been snow; if you were at lower levels then there was more sleet and rain,&#8221; Bentley said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She said there could still be some light snow across Friday in some places but that it was unlikely to stick given how wet it had been in most places.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Bentley said the very slight differences in temperatures across the country was the reason disruptive snow fell in the Midlands and not further south.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;That&#8217;s always the challenge in the UK [in forecasting]. If you&#8217;re in Scandinavia, the temperatures are so low, whatever falls from the sky is going to be snow. For us, it&#8217;s on that borderline,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Just one school appears to have been shut by the weather.
