WHAT WAS HE DRIVING ---A TANK ? THOSE PEOPLE, OUT AND ABOUT WITH CHILDREN , I HAVE NO WORDS--

Doesn’t compare even remotely to the winter of 62/63.. as small kids we didn’t care in Cornwall that winter, we had an extra 2 months off after Christmas. But I remember my parents worrying. No heating due to the power cuts, we were in a modern house that had electric hot air heating… it got so cold… food couldn’t get through (Cornwall was cut off for months) water was frozen in the pipes.. and even the reservoir’s froze. Some of the villages in Cornwall were under 10 ft of snow! And because of our well known country roads being so narrow, they couldn’t get the ploughs down them! The army in the end had to hand dig many of the roads to the villages! Then shops started to run out of things because none of the large delivery lorries could get into Cornwall. It was like something out of Scot of the Antarctic!

"Biggest snow"?

1982 with 20 feet drifts ! Probably the biggest snow in Britain

I have drove on roads like that in my life time and never again . I always refused to even start the engine when the snow comes down , like that. Because you could be paying extra insurance for years because of a silly skid. It's cheaper to just stay at home. And if you need to go anywhere, you can use a taxi. But there again I live in the town where roads are gritted. Only the side roads are like this " well not as bad .🇬🇧

Was your journey essential?

Just keep the steering straight you will be amazed how you stay on the road, drove from Leicester to Alton no problem the Beast of the East

Incredible, can't imagine what it'd be like opening the garden door and seeing a wall of snow.

Hahaha...the biggest snow in Britain??? Obviously said by a very young person. Type in winter 1962/3 and have a look at REAL SNOW!!

1963 WAS THE WORST WINTER ON RECORD.

Brilliant video 😎 Where is this?

Try 1963

at lest help them out you nasty person I hope something bad happened to you

The snowfalls during the UK winter of late 1962 and early 1963 was a record in recent memory for many people never to be forgotten. It is featured in a RUclips video viewed recently -> ruclips.net/video/5UY6yJUbswE/видео.html. I'm also read articles and comments p where a similar extreme event happened during the winter of form January to March in 1947.

That's just 80s snow levels

L

That is a lot of snow, but it could be misleading to me. I don't really see a lot of ditches or snow fencing. Low and unprotected roads can drift up quickly.

I saw mew snow than that at the Lecht a month ago

…..not…

Change title to "Snow typical of moat of Britain". Saw worse at sea level in NE england

If you've got the right tyres you can go anywhere

where is the global warming

"GLOBAL WARMING"? Sure Gretards, sure!

In all these snowy videos on RUclips if it's in the UK there is ALWAYS a comment how they seen it MUCH worse back in 50s or a yank going on how they also drove through it with bald tyres because their an expert in talking shite

i worked for Derbyshire highways at chapel en le frith in the 80s, this was a regular thing from November to April, and the roads where kept clear all the time.

Plinky fripp nappa! wee gingi broon vara de klee klee? pramie sprink fling...oh grimp flava flave brongo thrip shappy neep tangy. buysi now tata!...🤡

i hoped there would be another twat driving just as poorly in the other direction, then i saw its mr AUDI who would have guessed

NOOOO 1963 2 to 3 mts deep for 3 months.

WHY RICHI. S. HAVE MONEY FOR UKRAINE AND NO MONEY FOR SNOW PLOUGH WAKE UP OR FREEZE ON THE ROAD. CALL YOUR KING CHARLES.

Those who can remember 1963 in Devon can say this is a mild fall of snow. They had to use helicopters to transport food and fuel to out lying hamlets, as many were cut off for more than two weeks. There was not the machinery then to clear the roads. They even had the army digging out some lanes by hand.

Love this. 4x4 + winter tyres is the only way - Quattro alone wouldn't be safe. I have a Jimny and fit winter tyres for snow and ice. Used to have an Allroad and that was great but thirsty.❄👍

The snow in this video was no worse than back in the 80's. The village I grew up in, every now and then was cut off for a couple of days. The kids in the village longed for this each winter, as it meant no school and a lot of sledging.

lol this just looks like an average winter in Consett, Co. Durham in the north of England.

Can we have it this year

When and where was this in Britain

I`m waiting for some smug american or canadian saying....that`s just a light covering compared to what we get.

God are people bloody annoying. Wave arms about yer get lost do me a favour

From Connecticut USA. Glad to see you guys enjoyed the snow. Looks like good times to me.

Millennial interpretation of deep snow.

Wonder if we will get it this year ?.

ruclips.net/video/PWwym5IxijQ/видео.html

Cat 160M motorgrader or Cat D8H 68A Dozer with an angle blade would have done the job

only places of deep snow on this are drifts and banked show from snow plows moving it .....storm emma 2018 the snow was tiny particlies of ice that due to like -3 or -4 day time temps stuck and blew about hence bare bits of road exposed to wind in reality it was hard to judge how much snow fell in this period of weather

1940 beat this

47/63 beat this. hell 81/82 did so did 87

Why do idiots who walk in the middle of road not get out of the way, these arseholes cause cars to get stuck, cunts !!

That sort of snow was regular back in the 60s and 70s

As in Switzerland

Reminds me of the snow we had in 1995 in Cumbria, we lived right on the coast, but it looked like this.

Looks like you weren’t the only idiot Audi driver out
