Highways crews have been battling snow and freezing temperatures overnight in Lichfield and Burntwood.
Staffordshire County Council said gritting crews and snow ploughs worked through the night in a bid to keep roads clear.
Work is expected to continue throughout the day in a bid to ensure major carriageways remain clear.
Cllr David Williams, Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for highways, said:
“It certainly has been a challenging 24 hours for our highways crews.
“The double-whammy of snow and high winds has mean crews have been working round the clock to keep our county moving.
“Weather forecasts seem to show the snow tailing off and temperatures rising during the day, but nevertheless I would advise people to take care on the roads, drive safely and allow more time for their journeys.”
