I remember this winter in 1991. I had an old 1975 mini that broke down and I couldn't get it started for weeks. On the day the snow fell the car looked like an igloo. Opened the door, key in the ignition and it started first time. I didn't even have the choke out. Snow has a magical quality thats all I can say.
3:16 - That advert for 5¼ inch floppy discs. Plus, seeing all those cars, the old red McDonald's, the Duran Duran haircuts. London was such a cool place
I was 6 and a half in Feb 1991 and remember walking in the "slush" on the road in Swiss Cottage - such a vivid memory. Good times London in the 90s I miss it
Warren Street!!! I worked in that area at one of the offices buildings in Charlotte Street from 2008 to 2016!!! Can not believe that McDonald's outside the tube station was there already in 1990
i was working for Essex County Council back then as a road worker. they sent all the non gritter drivers out hand salting. i started work at 7 in the morning and was still at work the following day until i was sent home in the afternoon.
There is a difference due to the gradual change of climate which is when the temperature rises by 1 degrees Celsius every year. Climate change is evidently starting to show its effects.
Other countries it happens regularly so they have the infrastructure to cope, here it doesn't hence it stumps the country due to lack of infrastructure
Wath is wrong with england 2018 we had the beast everything came to a standstill im ireland they had ffive feet of snow and not a murmmer they got on with it london got about 5 inches and they couldent cope makes ye wonder
@@person.X. you sir were the minority. I suppose you were too posh to own a common Ford or Vauxhall? If you watch videos from this era filmed in the UK the dominant cars on the roads are quite clearly Ford and Vauxhall. It was only strange middle class people who imported expensive German cars back then, even Princess Diana had a number of Fords!
@@swaneknoctic9555 I have owned Fords (my favourite car brand), Fiats and driven virtually all marques. You should be aware that Most Fords and Vauxhalls even back then were imported and both are American companies.
@@person.X. you're right. At this time the British car industry was nearly finished, British produced cars were absolute rubbish, you couldn't take them out in the rain as the next day there would be nothing left! I apologise for my ignorance.

Not a mobile phone in site, take me back.
Definitely Feb 1991. I remember so well. London never experienced snow like this again until 18 years later........in February :D
I was trying to work out which year it was. I was going to guess 1992 from the fashions.
It was march.....91 or 92 not sure.....20 inches snow covered london for 2 weeks.
@@ergunyildizoglu8018 it was either feb 1991 or jan 1987

@@patsquires3654 It must have been feb 1991 then. It's too modern to be 1987.

november 1990 to end of feb 1991 !! mid march 91 snow cleared from ground !! i remember it well lol
I remember that winter, well....
On the worst day in London, it took me *four hours* to get from, High Barnet to Hackney.
I remember visiting London with my father by train from the Midlands in the middle of February 1991, which was just after this I think.

I remember Jan 1987 being really bad. The only time in my whole school life that school closed ... and that was for just a day.
i was working for Essex County Council back then as a road worker.
they sent all the non gritter drivers out hand salting.
i started work at 7 in the morning and was still at work the following day until i was sent home in the afternoon.
This was when "the wrong kind of snow" excuse was created for the railways.
I was only a month old when this happened!
91 - i lived by the docks and they froze over!
Funny the trains back then were functioning very well despite the heavy snow .
See 2 above your quote
No difference 30 years later
Big difference mate it was a lot more then
There is a difference due to the gradual change of climate which is when the temperature rises by 1 degrees Celsius every year. Climate change is evidently starting to show its effects.
Which year was this??
8th February 1991?
Sounds about right
Feb 1991, 11 years old and half way through my first year at secondary school in Ponders End got a few days off because of the heating failure.
what snow - more like a lite dusting!
The video is ASMR to my ears
Lol you're right, so calming, weird 😁😂
I was in Australia, it was 42 C , now I m back home ,match of the day,good sausages and rain, fab!
Feel sorry for you!
"We've got to go back because the engine on our helicopter is about to freeze"
Much better than Covid 19.
Neesar.
-10 degrees... even if it was Fahrenheit it's nothing if you compare it to other places in Europe. Here's it's the end of the world hahaha.
Other countries it happens regularly so they have the infrastructure to cope, here it doesn't hence it stumps the country due to lack of infrastructure
Sadly people are having to live in one room again because of the extortionate utility prices. Oh and not just elderly people. 🇬🇧
.....Ah yes. January 1987. I was snowed in for three weeks. With no heating. Thank god for vodka and thermals.
1991 was when they said it's the wrong kind of snow . powdery rather than wet

I'm English sadly, yes they egg everything right up, even a fly on someone's windscreen is a hinder 😂😂😂
Where is the snow ❄️
I remember it well, living in a Victorian Terrace high on a hill and no central heating.
Not a BMW or Audi in sight. No coloured faces (apart from the woman in the flats) amazing how fast things went very wrong.
Don't talk rubbish! Imported cars were everywhere. I owned an early 90s BMW myself. My father owned a series of Audis back in the 70s and 80s.
