Narrative:
When we took off of [runway] xxr at ZZZ; the weather wasn't great. The visibility was two miles with snow. The runway had snow on it with a braking action report of 3; 3; 3. At 1;000 feet AGL; the first officer made the 'set airspeed; flaps 1' call followed shortly by the 'flaps up' call. About 30 seconds later; I noticed our vmo barber pole was still at 250 knots. I then looked at the flap gauge which indicated flaps 5 even though the handle was at 0. I gave the first officer the ATC radios; so I could start analyzing our situation. I checked the circuit breakers and found P6-2-a-12 tripped. While I believe it was prudent to attempt a reset; I wanted to talk to maintenance first. I then got in the QRH and decided the trailing edge flap disagree checklist was the appropriate one to run. I quickly realized this checklist was to get the aircraft ready for landing. Since we had plenty of time now; I paused to make sure the first officer and I were on the same page with everything.ATC issued a clearance to FL230. We initially asked to stop at 15;000 feet and then climbed to FL180 to get on top of the weather without exceeding the FL200 flap limitation. We agreed that with the conditions in ZZZ and with ZZZ1 being VFR; the safest course of action was to continue. I felt the first officer and I were on the same page; so I contacted dispatch and maintenance over [commercial radio]. While they were on the radio; I attempted to reset the tripped circuit breaker; which immediately tripped again. I began the trailing edge flap disagree QRH; which we completed up to the alternate flap extension section. We waited until we were 10 miles north of ZZZ1 before running the alternate flap extension section. When I placed the altitude flap switch to down; we got an asymmetry (because of the tripped C/B). The QRH directed us to the trailing edge flap asymmetry checklist. Since we were on downwind to [runway] xyl; we asked for a hold at zzzzz on the xyl ILS to give ourselves more time. We completed the te flap asymmetry checklist and made an uneventful flaps 5 landing in ZZZ1.

Title: B737-700 flight crew reported a flap retraction problem during takeoff; but elected to continue to the destination airport due to weather conditions at departure airport.
