Well, that was definitely a snowstorm, but I wouldn't call it a blizzard. "Oh, it's up to my knuckle, it's so DEEP!" That cracked me up. Snow isn't really "deep" until it reaches at least up to your knees. But I know that if you've never experienced a snowstorm like that before, it's new and exciting. And I LOVE seeing someone experience real snow for the first time! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
they called this a blizzard....pssshhhh it aint bad until they start sending out do not travel advisories while youre stuck in rush hour traffic with white out conditions. then its a blizzard.
As a New Englander, have to say that was an ordinary little snowstorm, not a blizzard by far. A real blizzard is a furious storm with so much snow the plows can't keep up.
Yup they need to experience a white out. Where you can not see further than like 20 yards in front of you. Or any way you look. Due to the swelling winds. When you get 2 to 4 inches of snow in an hour. From 12 upto 24 inches of accumulation in a 24 hour period.
OK, that's not a blizzard, that's just a regular snow storm. In a blizzard you can't even see as the wind and snow white outs your vision. Also, snow up to halfway on your index finger is definitely NOT deep. I lived in New Hampshire for years and we would get big Nor'Easters that dumped 20 to 30 inches of snow. Now THATS deep!
Yeah, I think for something to be technically a blizzard according to the National Weather Service, it has to involve either 60+ or 80+ mph winds. It's all about the wind and not necessarily the snow! Still, yeah, that's a pretty tame snowstorm. I live in Vermont, and 2-4 inches is, like, normal overnight accumulation. XD Whiteout conditions with 20+ inches of snow over the course of 24 hours is actually a real snowstorm!
@@Maria_Erias You need three things to classify a storm as a blizzard (NWS definition); Sustained winds of at least 35mph, falling and/or blowing snow which reduces visibility to less than 1/4 mile and those conditions must last at least 3 hours. Vermont knows what snow is all about. I drove down to Vermont many times when I lived in Ontario and ran through some pretty serious conditions.
I grew up in Wisconsin and I remember one winter when my dad opened the door of our house to go take care of the animals in the barn and was met with a wall of snow. He had to crawl out of the second story window to get to the barn.
It snowed but that was no blizzard. In a blizzard you can’t see more than a few feet in front of you, it’s windy and you really learn about wind chill factors.
Love you both but I laughed out loud at the “blizzard”. I live in Colorado and the last good blizzard we had was in 2003. There was over 30 inches where I live. The snow was so deep we couldn’t open our front door. We were stuck at home for days. But glad you enjoyed it!
There is a certain magic in huge cities when it snows... it gets quiet, most of the trash and other stuff that big cities generate is covered up win a nice white blanket, the streets are not as busy, people seem a bit more patient and nicer, all bundled up with rosy cheeks and tucked against the wind clutchign a coffee or hot chocolate to warm their hands ... a bit of Christmas-like vibe no matter the time of year. Very nice, I'm glad you both had a chance to experience it!
I was laughing at you guys calling a couple inches of snow a blizzard. 😂 It’s always super cool seeing people experience snow for the first time though. Glad you had a great time in Philly!
I know Scotland is North of England but part of the UK and I have seen on television where they have had "true" blizzards" in Scotland that paralyzed the area. It was on American TV because it was news because of the severity of the storm. But I guess in England proper they have a more temperate climate.
You two are so cute, 4” blizzard. ;-) To be fair, one of my trips to London in February it “snowed”, basically a dusting, and it was pretty obvious how little folks there are used to it.
I lived in northern Indiana from the ages of 6 to 13, we only had 2 snow days in all of those years. That amount of snow is nothing for the north. I know it's a lot for you guys 🙂
@@luislaplume8261 Boston here. Snowpiles so high we had to jump from the 2nd floor porch of our tri-decker. The snow fort battles were legendary. We all built upward, with tunnels.
@@peterwilks4391 I believe you. As the first real blizzard I can recall with clarity was the Blizzard of 1969 when us New Yorkers had snow up to the door handles of the cars parked on our block especially in the Borough of Queens, one of the 5 Boroughs of NYC. I have in my family photos a black and white photo of my grandmother holding a large piece of compacted snow in her gloved hand showing off for the camera. The photo was of the Blizzard of 1960 when she visited us and it was the first time in her life that she ever experienced snow and a blizzard. Where did she and my late parents come from originally? Answer.....From Havana,Cuba where I and my late parents were born! We emigrated to America legally on August 2, 1956 when I was a 2 month old baby. 😁
-12 C isn't that bad. It is cold if you're outside in it for quite awhile, but I've had to walk outside before when it was approximately -32 C, and that really sucks! I live in south central Wisconsin, and the most snow I've experienced in 1 day was 24 inches. It was up to my knees, and we had school cancelled for 2 days straight.
You guys are too cute, that’s not a blizzard😆 if you really wanna experience a really cold, snowy American winter, go to some place like Chicago, Illinois, Minneapolis Saint Paul or Bismarck, North Dakota in January or February, LOL… I’ll bet right after you left the temps were in the 60’s… Born and raised in Philadelphia and we tend to have schizophrenic weather
It’s so beautiful with the snow! I can’t believe the Philly series is over, this has been one of my favorite series so far; especially The snowy vlogs! I thought you guys would get a little more snow than that, but I’m glad you experienced it because I know you probably don’t get that much snow in England. I’m excited for the North Carolina series, and I hope maybe sometime you can come back to another snowy place again and maybe try sledding or skiing. 🏔🌨👏☺️❤️
Probably because it was winter and all the douchebags were inside. Only slightly kidding, I went to college outside of Philly and I have a love/hate relationship with the city.
That was the only real snowfall we had this year. It was only about 5 inches total. We've had as much as 30 inches in a single snowfall (1996), and several 20+ inch jobs throughout the years. That's not really a lot either, compared to what some of the Midwest states pick up from time to time. I'm glad you had a chance to experience a little something different here. You had a taste of a Philly winter. I'd love to see your reactions to a double-digit snowfall!
@@AltCTRLF8 Lived through one...and it ain't fun. Don't know if Joel & Leah hold any religious beliefs, but I guarantee if they're in the eye of a tornado, they'll be praying to the Good Lord with all their might whether they're believers or not.
Hahaha....that's cute. You definitely got snow, and I'm glad you enjoyed. Definitely not East-Coast Blizzard though! Just wait until you end up with snow past your knees, black ice, and winds/snow so wild you can't see past your nose. 😁 Actually....I'm glad you got the "safer" kind of snow, to be honest. Lets you enjoy it without the concerns. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
OF COURSE Starbucks employees made it in! That is NOT a blizzard, maybe a heavy snow; as someone who grew up in Chicago with blizzards in the 1970's where you couldn't even come out of your house because snow was blocking the whole door, this is just heavy snow. Though as Brits, then yeah, it's a blizzard to you! 😆
Agree. Having lived in Philly most of my life that wasn’t a blizzard. We can get 20-30 inches in 24 hours when the Nor’easters hit. Like a winter hurricane. They are brutal. There is no place to put the snow and 50mph winds.
Interestingly enough, putting your cup of coffee in the snow will actually help keep it warm because snow is an insulator. I know that seems counter-intuitive, but it's true.
@Spring is in The Air 🇺🇸 The official Philadelphia recording is at the airport. 7.5" at PHL. Weren't you taught to round up at .5? LOL Jersey got rocked with over 20". If this storm shifted west 10 miles, J&L may have been stranded an extra day.
You 2 Brits would have been astounded by the Blizzard of 1978 in Boston. It made the news when we saw it in my old hometown of NYC on TV. We had a lot of snow but Boston had no bus, trolleybus, trolley service except for the Red line subway that ran a few miles in the center of Boston and it was served by the subway train yard in Cambridge across the Charles River that kept its yard tracks swept and salted from the snow.
Fun looking at the Philly stuff since I live very close. As mentioned below, any snow under 6" (15 cm) is looked at as just an inconvenience. We've had several over the past 20 years in the area of 30" (75 cm), though they are rare. Even more so lately as we've had rather mild winters since 2013 - which everything was totally frozen for four straight months. Keep having fun with your travels.
@@patrickandrews5166 still it's only 8 inches. If they were in NJ then it'd be a blizzard, sort of. 24" isn't much either in my opinion, but that's because I live in Wisconsin. I've lived through blizzards that dropped 4-6 feet of snow in a 24 hour period.
@@XtomJamesExtra I agree, that was not a blizzard where they were but the storm was a blizzard. And believe me, I lived through many blizzards - I know what one is. 36" in 1996 had the city actually shut down for two days. BTW the rate (3"/hr) and high winds (maybe 25+) are what make it categorized as a blizzard. They actually lucked out!
2:06 I have a snow blower at my house. It only gets used when it's more than a few inches deep. My neighbors have them too and whoever gets out first does the whole sidewalk for the 3 houses.
That's not a lot of snow, certainly not blizzard snow. Barely a few inches. Doesn't it snow in UK? Sure it does... upstate NY has several feet of snow b/f calling it a blizzard. You guys are cute! Love Joel's new hair doo, makes him look younger.
Not actually much snow, but for a Brit it's probably ridiculous. People stayed home because I recall it was very uncertain how much would actually fall that day. Probably less so as far inland as Philly, but still...
I must agree with some of the respondents that what you experienced in Philadelphia is a typical every day minor snowstorm. Nor’easter blizzards that strike New England, or lake-affect snows that pummel The Great Lakes region, or Plains/Rockies blizzards like the ones I experience in here in Colorado will blow your mind😆. The wind alone would blow you into a rolling snowball🤭. You wouldn’t be able to see your hand in front of your face. Feet upon feet of snow, howling hurricane force winds, and snow drifts that can bury a 2-story home. I’m from Massachusetts & Colorado so I know blizzards😉 On the flip-side….If you like to ski, build snow forts and sculptures, snowball fights, tubing down mountainsides, enjoy paid days and even weeks off from work without dipping into vacation days, the gorgeousness of a clean & serene white world and pure silence (snow absorbs noise) then blizzards are awesome!!! I love to go naked in the local hot springs surrounded by drifts of snow. When I’m too hot I make a snow angel and when I’m cold I swim in the hot springs. The moon on the snow is illuminating. You should come enjoy Colorado’s hot springs in Winter!
Lol that is so not a blizzard. I live 2 hrs north of Philly and remember how that snow system turned out to be a dud. Weathermen seem to have a hard time with predicting accurate snow forecasts for eastern PA. I’m glad it was enough snow for you to enjoy and make the city look pretty.
@@patrickandrews5166 Yes indeed! I meant a dud for eastern PA. We were expecting a lot more as was forecasted up until the night before it hit especially in NEPA. I’m glad Philly did get some for the prince and princess to prance around in 😀 You got our share and then some….sorry about that ❄
@@HazyDaze. prance around. LOL Supposedly the northeast US is the most difficult area to predict weather. With the Atlantic Ocean, everything depends on where the LOW sets up. Ten mile shift could be the difference between 4” like they got and 26” like South Jersey (only a few miles away) got.
Well...since the news channels Always say "WORST SNORSTORM EVAH!!!! WE"RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!" that usually sets off what I call a "French Toast Panic": Everyone rushes to the store and buys up all the eggs, milk and bread on the shelves.
I would love to see you guys visit Yellowstone and Yosemite👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻it’s cute you both thinking snow is pretty which it is but try some of our national parks you will be blown away! They have cabins and clamping in places and tons of shopping 🛍great show👏👏👏
there's a place in Reading terminal market that has really good pretzels and ice cream called butter brickle you definitely need to go there and try it
Truth. 3 inches is not a blizzard. A blizzard is high winds, zero visibility, below 20 degree Fahrenheit temps and a State of emergency (government shut down of the roads).
@@patriciaodoherty5202 Funny how no one checks the National Weather Service definition of a blizzard: 1) Snow and/or blowing snow reducing visibility to 1/4 mile or less for 3 hours or longer AND 2) Sustained winds of 35 mph or greater or frequent gusts to 35 mph or greater. There is no temperature requirement that must be met to achieve blizzard conditions.
@@gnome53 interesting!We can "Blame it on the Blizzard!"Joel and Lia are hysterical!I love their vlogs.Thanks for the info!Cheers from the Snowy Range,Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming,USA!We jokingly call the National Weather Service's definition of a blizzard a breezy day in this area!
Near you in Ashville the movie "Last of the Mohicams" was filmed at Chimney Rock. Great movie, a dramatic love story set in British colonel America. You guys would love it !!! Popular 1992 US movie.
If y'all haven't been, y'all should really visit Pigeon Forge in Tennessee. Absolutely beautiful. Has a theme park called Dollywood, named after country singer Dolly Parton. Plus there's the Ripley's believe or not museum among other great places.
That thing isn't in every part of the US either. Im in NC and have never seen anything like that either but we are never ready for snow, or most of the time, ice. Or streets are dangerous cause they aren't properly maintained during bad weather.
I just watched your Popeyes video and Dont give up on Louisiana! I live in New Orleans, Louisiana and we are notorious for our local food that isn’t popeyes hahaha. You gotta go down to the French Quarter and try Jambalaya, Gumbo, and Beignets (doughnuts) from Cafe Du Monde and get a few drinks on Bourbon Street. Y’all will love it
It’s a good thing you didn’t come to the US right now in December, which I’m sure you’ve seen our snow storms across the USA especially in New York and 50 people dead n counting! This was a monster storm that was a dusting
Question, and please don't read sarcasm into this because I truly want to learn and know, but you say that you don't have snow like that in the UK... Does that mean that all the scenes that I've seen in the Charles Dickens movies like Oliver Twist at A Christmas Carol are not truth when you see a lot of snow on the houses and the streets?
Visit the opposite side of the state one winter and you may be (un)lucky enough to learn about a quirk of living in western Pa. -- lake effect snow. EDIT: Once, in college, I experienced -30F temperatures. I could feel everything in my nose freeze within seconds of stepping outside my dorm.
This storm was a blizzard. They weren’t sure where it would set up but Philly wasn’t in the blizzard zone. The suburbs to the east in NJ got the blizzard. Hours of blizzard conditions and two feet of snow. So, it was a blizzard, just not where they were. LOL
@Spring is in The Air 🇺🇸 HAHAHA I am just laughing at these people from up north teaching us what a blizzard is. How cute. In Minnesota they don't get Nor'easters - Philly gets both - blizzards and Nor'Easters. But everybody's got to be a "one-upper". Of course, it wasn't a blizzard where they were. It's called clickbait people. You must have been on the internet long enough to understand that.

I wouldn't even call it a snow storm
Here in Idaho we call that a flurry.

And multiple feet deep
Philly really does not get a lot of snow. But too bad they were in Philly in late winter. Springs can be beautiful with the blooming trees.
Even here in Philly.....that's not a snowstorm. But let them have their joy. :)
Lol! That was no blizzard but I enjoyed it anyway!
OK, that's not a blizzard, that's just a regular snow storm. In a blizzard you can't even see as the wind and snow white outs your vision.

That's not a lot of snow, certainly not blizzard snow. Barely a few inches. Doesn't it snow in UK? Sure it does... upstate NY has several feet of snow b/f calling it a blizzard. You guys are cute! Love Joel's new hair doo, makes him look younger.
Loved the Philly series. 😔 Please come back.
Should we let them niw that wasn't even close to a Blizzard lol.
😋
Hawaii is lovely this time of year.
You have seen nothing yet ! Go to Buffalo ,NY for a real blizzard!
Not actually much snow, but for a Brit it's probably ridiculous. People stayed home because I recall it was very uncertain how much would actually fall that day. Probably less so as far inland as Philly, but still...
I must agree with some of the respondents that what you experienced in Philadelphia is a typical every day minor snowstorm. Nor’easter blizzards that strike New England, or lake-affect snows that pummel The Great Lakes region, or Plains/Rockies blizzards like the ones I experience in here in Colorado will blow your mind😆. The wind alone would blow you into a rolling snowball🤭. You wouldn’t be able to see your hand in front of your face. Feet upon feet of snow, howling hurricane force winds, and snow drifts that can bury a 2-story home. I’m from Massachusetts & Colorado so I know blizzards😉
On the flip-side….If you like to ski, build snow forts and sculptures, snowball fights, tubing down mountainsides, enjoy paid days and even weeks off from work without dipping into vacation days, the gorgeousness of a clean & serene white world and pure silence (snow absorbs noise) then blizzards are awesome!!! I love to go naked in the local hot springs surrounded by drifts of snow. When I’m too hot I make a snow angel and when I’m cold I swim in the hot springs. The moon on the snow is illuminating.
You should come enjoy Colorado’s hot springs in Winter!
Great series. Too bad the snow interfered with some activities. Travel home safely from NC. Maybe your next trip could be a beach city or town.
Brits survive a PHILADELPHIA BLizzard so we don't have to. LOL!
That is not a blizzard in America. That is snow flutters. In a blizzard you can’t see your hand in front of your face.
Oh, and the other nice aspect of a snow in Philly. The City of Philadelphia's snow removal response: pray for sunshine and warm weather.
Up to your knuckle is NOT deep for a snow in the northeast USA. Try a foot and a half or two feet or more!
Lol that is so not a blizzard. I live 2 hrs north of Philly and remember how that snow system turned out to be a dud. Weathermen seem to have a hard time with predicting accurate snow forecasts for eastern PA. I’m glad it was enough snow for you to enjoy and make the city look pretty.
It wasn’t a dud, it just skirted Philly. We in NJ just east of Philly got up to 24” in that blizzard.
@@patrickandrews5166 Yes indeed! I meant a dud for eastern PA. We were expecting a lot more as was forecasted up until the night before it hit especially in NEPA. I’m glad Philly did get some for the prince and princess to prance around in 😀 You got our share and then some….sorry about that ❄
@@HazyDaze. prance around. LOL
Supposedly the northeast US is the most difficult area to predict weather. With the Atlantic Ocean, everything depends on where the LOW sets up. Ten mile shift could be the difference between 4” like they got and 26” like South Jersey (only a few miles away) got.
I love Reading Terminal. Their donuts are great as well as their turkey sandwiches.
Snow is the best! More snowy videos, please!?!?
I hope you had a wonderful time in my home town of Philadelphia!!!
Well...since the news channels Always say "WORST SNORSTORM EVAH!!!! WE"RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!" that usually sets off what I call a "French Toast Panic": Everyone rushes to the store and buys up all the eggs, milk and bread on the shelves.
I suggest a winter trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park. Expect several feet of snow, elk, bison, and stunning scenery.
not at all a blizzard but it was a decent amount of snow, wouldn’t call it a blizzard until it gets over a foot and a half to 2 feet
I would love to see you guys visit Yellowstone and Yosemite👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻it’s cute you both thinking snow is pretty which it is but try some of our national parks you will be blown away! They have cabins and clamping in places and tons of shopping 🛍great show👏👏👏
Trips around the UK would be very entertaining...
there's a place in Reading terminal market that has really good pretzels and ice cream called butter brickle you definitely need to go there and try it
Laughing at what you think is a blizzard!Living at above 7000 ft.90 mph winds today!Blame it on the Blizzard!!!!
Truth. 3 inches is not a blizzard. A blizzard is high winds, zero visibility, below 20 degree Fahrenheit temps and a
State of emergency (government shut down of the roads).
@@morgandaugherty5486 Yes,so true!
@@patriciaodoherty5202 Funny how no one checks the National Weather Service definition of a blizzard:
1) Snow and/or blowing snow reducing visibility to 1/4 mile or less for 3 hours or longer
AND
2) Sustained winds of 35 mph or greater or frequent gusts to 35 mph or greater.
There is no temperature requirement that must be met to achieve blizzard conditions.
@@gnome53 interesting!We can "Blame it on the Blizzard!"Joel and Lia are hysterical!I love their vlogs.Thanks for the info!Cheers from the Snowy Range,Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming,USA!We jokingly call the National Weather Service's definition of a blizzard a breezy day in this area!
LOL! The pair extrodinaire.
Aw, that was a cute little snowfall! It's barely even worth shoveling, though.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, but you still "ain't seen nothing" yet.
That’s just a normal snow day in Pennsylvania that’s not a blizzard haha
Blizzard? Lol believe me, if you guys were to experience ACTUAL blizzard conditions, you would not be out taking a stroll.
That wasn't a blizzard just a winter day is all.
That was just a " DUSTING " of snow
Near you in Ashville the movie "Last of the Mohicams" was filmed at Chimney Rock.
Great movie, a dramatic love story set in British colonel America. You guys would love it !!!
Popular 1992 US movie.
Blizzards in Colorado: measure in feet not inches
My hometown!!!
If y'all haven't been, y'all should really visit Pigeon Forge in Tennessee. Absolutely beautiful. Has a theme park called Dollywood, named after country singer Dolly Parton. Plus there's the Ripley's believe or not museum among other great places.
Yall should do San Francisco California Joel will love it
That thing isn't in every part of the US either. Im in NC and have never seen anything like that either but we are never ready for snow, or most of the time, ice. Or streets are dangerous cause they aren't properly maintained during bad weather.
Welcome to Pennsylvania
🇬🇧🥶
I would love to see you guys in other countries!
No boots, you guys need some warmer gear!!
I just watched your Popeyes video and Dont give up on Louisiana! I live in New Orleans, Louisiana and we are notorious for our local food that isn’t popeyes hahaha. You gotta go down to the French Quarter and try Jambalaya, Gumbo, and Beignets (doughnuts) from Cafe Du Monde and get a few drinks on Bourbon Street. Y’all will love it
It’s a good thing you didn’t come to the US right now in December, which I’m sure you’ve seen our snow storms across the USA especially in New York and 50 people dead n counting! This was a monster storm that was a dusting
Yall know in PA there’s places to go snow tubing right?
So sad, I lost M'Legend status yesterday. I didn't get the reminder for your live, so I unsubscribed to reset and now I am now a Legend in Training.
Question, and please don't read sarcasm into this because I truly want to learn and know, but you say that you don't have snow like that in the UK... Does that mean that all the scenes that I've seen in the Charles Dickens movies like Oliver Twist at A Christmas Carol are not truth when you see a lot of snow on the houses and the streets?
Make sure to get a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich! Yum!
Visit the opposite side of the state one winter and you may be (un)lucky enough to learn about a quirk of living in western Pa. -- lake effect snow.
EDIT: Once, in college, I experienced -30F temperatures. I could feel everything in my nose freeze within seconds of stepping outside my dorm.
Want to see a real blizzard go to Minnesota or Michigan
@Spring is in The Air 🇺🇸 Erie, PA gets hit hard with lake effect snows.
….Wisconsins in between
@Spring is in The Air 🇺🇸 A blizzard is not a large snowfall. It is deadly winds pushing snow to blinding conditions and drifting to awful heights.
This storm was a blizzard. They weren’t sure where it would set up but Philly wasn’t in the blizzard zone. The suburbs to the east in NJ got the blizzard. Hours of blizzard conditions and two feet of snow.
So, it was a blizzard, just not where they were. LOL
@Spring is in The Air 🇺🇸 HAHAHA I am just laughing at these people from up north teaching us what a blizzard is. How cute. In Minnesota they don't get Nor'easters - Philly gets both - blizzards and Nor'Easters.
But everybody's got to be a "one-upper". Of course, it wasn't a blizzard where they were. It's called clickbait people. You must have been on the internet long enough to understand that.
