Snow in London February 2009 (Richmond)

A short tour of Richmond in the snow, February 2009. It really was the day that London stood still . . . . or so I thought. Snow turns a blue Monday into a white Monday.

What a surprise! I've been to London in the winter, but at the very most, saw a bare dusting of snow. I can only imagine how many snowmen the children enjoyed making, lol!! This is a beautiful vid!! Haha, the snowman taking a rest at 6:12, what a treat. :D

thanks very much!! yeah you're right, it wasn't expected at all. i think it was the most snow in . . . . i cant remember now but i think it was 20 years or something! so much fun!!

[MinkKitten]

Is that a kitten sitting on the bench too, haha? I thought so the other day when I viewed, but wasn't sure! Heavy snow isn't unusual here, but in London, that must have been a national holiday, lol.

[chrisdavidi]

yes it is! some very clever so and so made a kitten for the snowman! you could certainly say it was a national day, we were united in elation (it was a monday lol). i dunno wherever you are but the snow was definately a shocker for london!

Thank you so much for this. I lived in the Richmond area for the first 40-odd years of my life and it's wonderful to see so many places I loved captured so beautifully.

Just got back from Richmond. Was there over Xmas... Not a bad place.... Had an ice cream by the green....cold but no snow..

[Threetails]

So sorry I missed this! That's quite an impressive snowfall. While I was there it only got maybe a few inches deep and was gone within a day.

I miss Richmond so much.
