I have fond memories of Leicester as a child (born in 1956), we lived in the Anstey Lane area (Beaumont Leys). Winters were completed with snow and as I got older the winters seemed to get warmer in the 70's. The white of snow turned to grey brown muddy wet cold horrible slush, by 1980 I'd had enough. In 1981 I left Leicester behind as it offered me nothing to look forward to, I never bothered looking back. I wound up making a home for myself in Norway. It's mid October and the frost is already here. I changed my car summer tires to winter tires last week as ice can form and hide on the roads to start the day with...customising your car on ice is not recommended. The serious snow usually falls late December to March and it can get pretty cold, minus 15 - 20c is common enough, often it's too cold to snow. Snow in the UK is OK but the real deal is in Scandinavia, incidentally the summers are warmer over here. The great thing about snow is that our garden looks like everybody else's ha! Lovely video by the way, thank you.❄☃
I was confused as to why the clock tower was showing nearly 2pm, yet everywhere was shut and the streets deserted. Surely the snow didn't cause that? But then I suddenly remembered the Covid lockdowns, as evidenced later in the video with the popup testing facility at Jubilee Gardens. What a weird time that was. I remember it all vividly, but it kinda feels now like some sort of dream. Anyway, magnificent snowman at the DMU. And I notice one also in construction at the Town Hall.
When i was a kid , used to love the snow.Guaranteed coming up to Christmas, every one was white. Used to build own Sledge and go down a railway embankment. Ha,no health and Safety.
Never been but anywhere looks extra lovely when snowy. Thanks for upload, its quite relaxing to watch
Leicester under snow looks cleaner...
