Out in the cold, cold East (Havering) I remember snow settling for several days, on a few occasions when I was the right age to be out in it (so early 80s I guess). Bet there’s kids sledging dahn the ingi today...

There was a great pub on the Salford/Manchester border called the Mark Addy, in the early 90s, it had a wonderful selection of cheeses for lunch.
If my street is anything to go by, there will be a spike in Covid thanks to everyone enjoying the fleeting pleasures of snow. |
You don't seem to have had much of the white stuff in Tower Hamlets. Mind you our couple of inches has more or less gone now.
|
The pub was named after the man who saved a lot of people from drowning in the Irwell. I've lived up there for a long time, but I check in here for London nostalgia and updates on public tranport policy :)

It hasn't got above freezing today. Up on Kisdon hill the drifts have frozen crusts on them. The dog can run clean across the top of them without leaving a print let alone breaking through.
|
Unusually, the snow came from the West, so we had much more here in Twickenham than East London, where I used to live and similarly remember heavy and lasting snow in the late 80s and early 90s period.

Only one comment before the miserable Covid one!
|
We had around three inches that stuck for a couple of days the week before last. It was so nice looking at it out of the window knowing that I didn't have to go out in it.
|
The captions on the photos reveal 4 places I can't remember you blogging about, although you probably have. Is that a real horse or a sculpture?
|
Here in NW London we had a great showing. Lots of people (and police!) out, but all being sensible and sticking to the rules which was good to see.
Still got a good inch covering the ground today. |
