Half term fun in the snow

• Feb. 19 by Natalie Adcock (0)

Birmingham residents enjoyed the school half term this week by spending the last few days sledging, dog walking and enjoying the scenery of Birmingham’s snow covered parks.

The snow, which started yesterday (Thursday), covered the city in a white blanket.

Many residents took to parks like the Lickey Hills (see photographs below), Cannon Hill Park and the Malvern Hills for some winter fun.

One dog walker in the Lickey Hills said:

“We live really close to this park, so the snow was a perfect opportunity to come visit and bring my German Sheppard, who loves the snow.

He doesn’t even mind getting wet, but he wants to get away from the Visitors Centre so that I can let him off the lead!”

Meanwhile the snow caused travel chaos for Birmingham’s commuters as they faced hours of misery getting home in the snow last night when Birmingham City Council did not send gritting lorries out until 6PM.

According to BBC Weather the next few days contain sunny intervals, except for light snow that is predicted for Saturday and Monday.

Did you enjoy the scenic snow this week or were you stuck in travelling terror?
