The Beast From The East - Allendale Documentary - 2018
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 мар 2018
- The Beast from the East mixed with Storm Emma caused widespread disruption across parts of the UK during late February and early March 2018. The Met Office issued a red weather warning, schools where closed and drivers found it almost impossible to get to work due to blocked roads.
Being the weather enthusiast I am, I was out and about with my camera, over the unseasonal weather, capturing the storm during all stages of its disruptive path. From combining this footage I have produced an amateur home video reporting what it was like in my home town of Allendale, Northumberland.

I'd love 6 weeks of this every winter! 4months of grey gloom and rain is hellish. Snow is waaayyy better.
Indiana Mercury. Yeh and not being able to even get your car out is much better.
@@nasa1985 its rarely that bad in uk. Takes a couple o days to dig out.
We are repeating the maunder minimum
NASA one with a name like that you must be a troll
NASA was created by the Nazis as a disinformation cover
This is what a normal winter used to look like every year in northern England and Scotland, with the odd rough one thrown in now and again, who remembers 1963 or was it 68, too old to remember.
I remember 1963 in Bristol. I was 12. There was a foot of snow on our street which hung around for several weeks. That might be why I moved to New Zealand.
Same for the eastern and midwestern USA... from mid-Nov through EoM Feb.... lots of snow cold and the like
@AndyT .... I remember 63 winter. I was living in Norfolk then, (aged nine); and I remember the sea, at Hunstanton, freezing over. Never seen that since. It was very cold.
@@Padoinky Very true, some winters hang on through beginning of April.
Our winters get much colder in the U.S. than the U.K.
There was a bad winter storm in 1949 out west in the U.S.
I watched the documentary on YT about that.
The blizzard of 1978 was pretty bad too. I was 18 years old when that hit the Ohio Valley. We drove around on snow mobiles!
Plenty of people remember the winter of 1963,what are talking about?
I used to walk 27 miles to school in 9 feet of snow at temperatures of -60f with a wind chill of -90f barefooted.
We were a hardy bunch but for some odd reason very few of us made it past the age of 10. Some blame the harsh summer weather where temperatures would reach +200f.
If you're that good of a liar go work for the ipcc
Sarcasm, what sarcasm. It really was uphill both ways. We were in school for so long that by the end of our school day the earth had shifted on its axis, and now we were once again walking uphill on our way home. Seriously.
@@williammyers9773 Yeah, right. That's like my son telling his 2 kids that before color tv was invented everything was black and white, there were no colors anywhere.
I used to walk 548,89 miles to school when I was 3 years old....all I had for lunch was one bucket load of ice and two grains of rice....then after school I had to work for 6 hours in our local super market....got home at 4 in the morning and still found enough time to play on my PlayStation before hitting out to school a few hours later.....and you think you had it hard, YOU WERE LUCKY !
Mighty Lonesome that’s a lie that’s nearly as cold as Antarctica
It was the winter 1962/63 snowed and snowed then froze and remained so for about three months.
I moved from Southport Lancs to Brixton London in January ‘63 and the same piles of snow were still there in March and boy was it cold.
Winter! I absolutely love it. I remember well 1963 when Schools remained open, boilers kept going, and the Council workmen dug channels to the shops and Schools before anyone was up. Even the milkman did his rounds! Happy days.
This is lovely to watch when you live in a country where it's always sun sun and more sun, This video takes me back to my days in the UK of pushing my Yamaha FS1E through the snow 😂
I remember as a kid hoping it would get to -35° so the schools would close and then we could have a play day tobogganing and skating. That amount of snow is great fun but you need more to build good forts.
A good record of Allendale in winter. I really liked the aerial filming of the solitary figure walking through the snow.
It was bad in large swathes of Scotland too, but have seen worse 40 years ago during normal winters without a cheep on the national news. Thanks for the video upload anyhow. These weather phenomena were better without modern day hype and naming of every storm, as has become so tediously predictable nowadays..
Unfortunately I wasn't around 40 odd years ago so in my life time id say this has easily been the worst I can remember. Living up here in Allendale we are used to the weather, its when you see news reports about a light dusting down south that gets me.
We are repeating the maunder minimum
We summited Ben Nevis and camped up there.. it was intense
dont remember weather like that,,,and i am 52,,,you sure yer not older.
Some parts of the uk were hit pretty bad , am in the south east of England and my town got 25-30 cm in 8-11 hours which isn’t so common.
It had last happened in 2010 .
It reminds me of snow from my childhood days 35 yrs ago. Crazy. Hope everyone's safe
The warm front at 4:10 is a relief
lol at the drone footage with helicopter noises added XD
That’s how I remember winter in the 60s loved it,
I remember a Winter in Minnesota where we had weather like this 6 weekends in row. Snowdrifts got up to 15-20 feet (6 meters) high.
In Yakutsk the temperature is often around -42 in winter, Brits chelp if it's -2
Amazing, in the east of NL we had only a few tiny flakes. VERY cold though. Great video!
Need this again! 👍
I remember that day , I was working up north drove home down the M6 and then the A14 the the A12 , didn't see one bit of snow !!!! What a load of cobblers
I love the snow. We get nothing in London,It's too warm! A redundant sledge is in my garage, the poor thing has been waiting for a good snow. I know it's hard to get around in it, but while it's there, me and kids make the most of it.Once it melts, it's like mashed potato and gravy.
I loved all the snow but hated it at the same time
I was lying on a beach in Valencia, Spain when this happened called work and took an extra week off and went to Benidorm. The thought of trying to get from Glasgow Airport home to Ullapool gave me the shivers.
We all feel sorry for you...
Why didn't you get the sack you should of been at work sckiving bitch I would of sacked you for sure
Bring it on again PLEASE.
Was no one around in December 81 - January 82..??
That was worse by a mile. -20 for 10 days and sea ice on the Welsh coast. Spent the week digging sheep out of 15ft drifts, we were going day and night exhausted
Was March 1982 10 foot of snow outside my house the snow in this video is nothing, bunch of pussies
As a Norwegian I find this kind of funny. Glad you all survived
Glad you find it funny
@Phoenix britain isn't kitted out for this kind of weather cos we don't get it often enough, what's the point in spending 10s of millions on snow machines that's only gonna be used every 10 years ,that's a lot of maintenance even when not used ,apart from that I'm proud to be british, we r a small country on a small island with one of the best economy's ,good schooling, health system, plenty of jobs ,life ant that bad here ,you could always move to Syria, Britain ant as bad as people make out ,if u don't believe me ask all the foreigner's, they love it here
The UK over exaggerate everything, like coronavirus
Th von S lol its not even cold in Norway either stfu. Boy thinks hes in Antarctica.
At least in the northern US and Canada, we have the equipment to deal with storms like this. Things might get cancelled for a day but most roads are cleared and passable within 24 hours.
Wtf is it with all these new fangle names polar vortex, beast from the East. I just call it winter lovely video though
'Cause they can't scream and stomp their feet, while shouting their rehearsed drivel, about the dangers of global warning! Guess they have to call it climate change for a few weeks...smh
@@OsmoMadetoja That would be the most well known 'Kenyan'.
Thank god for that, I thought I was the only one who gets angry when some twat goes on about the beast from the , bloody east. Probably thought up from a pest from the west.
Didn't you know its got a name - Oleg!
Polar vortex is a technical term and not a term invented by the media. The phrase "beast from the east" has been around for decades, although it's been popularised by the media.
God how I remember those days in Chicago. You can keep it!!!!
Hey I live in Denefields lol could see you around your house has just been built right ?
In coastal Connecticut 2018 was also a cold winter. We got 35 cm of snow from one storm and a few days later the temperature dropped to -20C. For over 2 weeks straight the temperature stayed below 0C.
Wow! Quite beautiful though
I am really missing this kind of Northern weather I have been in South UK horrible Torquay for 7 horrible months and glad to move back North
😭
I think I was in it, It was amazing I spent all day out in the snow and me and Oscar and my mom all had a snow ball fight
A Beauty From The West the Beast from the East.
welcome to a pretty normal day in Norway :D
But then again, England isn't suited for much snow
Morten and Norway isn’t suited for British heat of 39C
30 cm or more in 8-11 hours isn’t something that happens a lot in the south of uk , Norway usually has those amounts too or worse but it’s a cold country and some parts are in the artic circle .
@@DiogoSilva-lf2oc who asked
Wasn't much talk of global warming that year haha even across the pond. Truly enjoyed watching your video! That was one remarkable storm of the century for sure!
Please send that snow to Australia. Great video thank you. 🦘🇭🇲🇭🇲
Yes it was Bad but We had it a lot worse in the 70,s and 80s... We Just got On With it ... In Todays age Everything Stops..
and 1963
The reason is health and safety but the real reason is law suits because we have a compensation culture that we didn't have then, people sure companies for simply tripping over something, so everyone has to be extra careful for those reasons.
It's good that everything stops me and my bestie sing "SCHOOOOOLS OUT FOR WINTERRRRR"
The 70s were a low point in solar activity we're heading for a very low point in solar activity we are repeating the maunder minimum
The liberal democrats make everything stop, even the economy!!!!
Love it
it was not the first ever red snow warning there was one for central southern england a few years before.
This sort of weather used to be the norm even down here in Kent. The council used to put snow fences along the sides of main roads at the start of winter to stop snow causing drifts to block the roads and some roads and railways would be closed for ages due to drifts of 10 feet or more and villages had to have supplies helicoptered in (yes really). I don’t recall school ever being closed due to the weather though ! Perhaps there is something in this global warming rumour.
22aj55 In the mid-1980s, I provided a Bell LongRanger helicopter, that was used to transport basic foodstuffs to cut off villages in Kent. BTW, 'Global Warming' is a myth, invented by the faceless super-elite, in order to extract even more money from ordinary people, through 'carbon taxes' etc.
Heli-Crew HGS , Hmmm well it’s been extremely mild this winter (here). Yes it’s funny how whatever the issue of the day is i.e smoking, obesity, pollution etc the answer is always increased taxation.
Global warming is a disinformation cover story for geoengineering Warfare aside from that we're repeating the maunder minimum we've lost all our sun spots for long periods of time
Welcome to Canada
Best place to live. 😍
And I had to walk in that to school while other schools are cancelled even today other schools were cancelled but not my school
Is this the same country that I live in? Where I live we didn't get any of this.
Wow!
Is this near Stankwell Falls?
Great summer we had though 2018.
I couldn’t think of much worse. Thank goodness I live in a warmer climate where we don’t get snow!
2:06 just drone footage with helicopter sound effects🤣
No shit sherlock and that's not sound affects its an actual helicopter 😂
The Beast from the East was exciting, but come on.. it was nothing compared to the three months of the Dec 1962 to March 1963 winter..... too easily these days we say records are broken, after a week or so of winter weather!!!
@ROBERT LYTTON who asked
@@Phillips_616 Who asked what? You have to explain yourself better.
@@lion73266 who asked bassicaly means who cares 1963 is gone mate
@@Phillips_616 My bad, for thinking you might be able to contribute ,to the conversation...Enjoy your day.
@@lion73266 and you
Welcome and enjoy. A normal winter hell here in the Nordic countries. Greetings from Sweden🤭
P Osterode we brits do over exaggerate lol
@@heath2510ok
The first snow fell today. Now the misery begins again. Four to five months to survive until the larch sings again.😣😁
That was beautiful I would love it there you take care my friend 🇬🇧
This makes me freezing cold just watching. Imagine a country like this 6 months a year or more. Only one way I'd contemplate living there. That would be if I was a multimillionaire who never had to leave the house.
Yes - and if you run out of lobster the parlor maid get her boots on and go find some
i was sledging with my friends during a one of the huge snowstorms we had during that time, the wind hit close to 100mph and it was constant we could hardly walk one of my friend's sledges blew at least 300 metres and almost hit a truck, the waves went over the harbour tower thing whatever they're called it was awesome
Everyone could have sheltered from the snow under the weather readers jugs.
Welcome to Nova Scotia, Canada! Lol beautiful video though
"the everyday became the extraordinary"
"oop look, someone digging themselfs out"
Amen and Amen
Who is the News Anchor weather woman?
the first 30 seconds was like how it was where I lived
Never even heard of Allendale, where is it?
Saudi Arabia
Next to davedale
@@zeshana438 😂
Search it on google maps
@@DiogoSilva-lf2oc thanks for the idea. (Although I'm not that bothered TBH)
Big drama for small snow 😁😁
Fuck off :)
@@MrCharlan1 Jivita is right though.
Fuck off how is that small snow 😂that's a lot of snow
Jivita Muntean what is wrong with the British we are becoming a country full pussies
@@michaelatkinson9396 were not we got on with it atually
Won’t beat 1963
Even livestock need shelter sometimes. I hope critters such as foxes sought some shelter, warmth and comfort in their dens too.
17 people died in the snowstorm, rest in peace
Looks like North Dakota every winter!
I like !!...
looks like wyoming in the winter
to think this is just last year,,,,total nightmare it was.
we get it here too,in the Midwest usa
It`s winter!
It's amazing the rest of the Country wasn't like this , we have such localised events when it come to weather,on Merseyside we had no snow whatsoever or real cold.
Birmingham was like this it snowed for at least 3 days straight with snow drifts
I'm Canadian and grew up in the 60's.
That looks pretty normal to me.❄
We have nothing down south just rain they said we were going to get it but nothing
I know Britain isn't equipped for much snow or really cold temperatures, but it is a bit over dramatic with some of the names and phrases they use for winter conditions when speaking of weather. I remember hearing terms while living in London like "the big freeze" or "deep freeze" because it was minus temperature for 5 days. And they named the storm "beast from the East", sounds like a Hurricane. When you come from a country where storms like this are the norm during the winter months it all sounds a bit over dramatic.
But why school in harsh conditions
People love to get their knickers in a twist - furiously clearing snow that doesnt need cleared - making a marter out themselves because they have no bread but have a cupboard full of other stuff they could use - the only ones i feel for are the farmers (and their animals) and essential workers like home helps nurses doctors etc
These days are well gone, mild winter after mild winter 2018 was a mild winter.
The beast from the east...say what....l live in Canada, this is what we call play day.
It's a novelty for most of the UK. We have snow every year but the momorable ones are etched in our brains. 2009/10 was a good one 2018 but 1963 and 1946/47 were phenomenal, I believe.
We call this winter
Where was that muppet in the red car going?
Typical winter conditions in the upper Midwest.
upper Midwest of where?
With this question, you are not from the US. The upper Midwest refers to a few states in the US; Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota. Your geography lesson for the day.
@@southenglish1 Thanks for the education..you might have noticed the video was from the UK, not the US - hence the need for clarification on the 'midwest of where??' I would never have guessed..
wym that's only like 6 inches
The ice age cometh
Omg this is winter and this is usual over the top reporting (overkill bullshit)
Somehow it skipped Denmark.
What about the pest from the west uno bloody cloud an rain. 300 days a year lol
British people think the conditions are Antarctic if the temperature gets all the way down to 0 Celsius and there is 1cm of snow, it's pathetic and embarrassing.
What is pathetic and embarrasing is being sadistic over a country that is not used to weather conditions vs people who are used to weather conditions
It was much worse in Scotland 😂
AH yes, Rememberd well as the beast of Allen-Dail, To The chagrin of the Allen-Dailians, That scoundrel beast of Allen-Dailia. Of it the beast, let us speak no more, Of that beast upon the Allen-Dailian More. A poetic post to that effing Ghost up on the, Allen-Dailian, More,

It's happening again
It snowed today so maybe
vector the protector it’s snowing really bad today where I live
We are repeating the maunder minimum
early eighties were bad too
🤝🔔👍🌹
poor animals left out in them conditions
What? Geordies?
Es soll vorkommen daß es im Winter Schnee gibt
Beast from the east?.. Its called a normal winter...
Y’all need to get 4WD vehicles
Think its a good idea that they could make a movie out of this Polar Votex ??
I haven't been watching but they did didn't they? There's something called the day after tomorrow and Game of Thrones winter is coming. We are repeating the maunder minimum in case you don't know
So this is global warming?
Kinda, they ditched the term 'global warming' and replaced it with 'climate change'... That way it also covers cooling trends too 😂
And still you get silly buggers trying to drive in those conditions, still there`s no cure for stupid.
It’s just weather, happened a thousand times before.
