Riding Britain's Biggest Runaway Snowball

Wow, I've never made one large enough to remove turf and topsoil.

What are all those people doing out there?

Is that from when England closed shop for a coupla inches of snow?

I love how it's a bunch of adults! so cute to see them all getting excited from something that we all did as kids

We used to roll giant snowballs like this when I was in elementary school. Snow days are a foreign concept to Colorado kids. We had to go no matter what and they would send us outside to play in the snow during lunch and recess so we would just see how big of a snowball we could make. They would get so big that they would pull up the turf under the snow as we rolled em.

The guy that managed to ride the snowball for a few seconds of glory made me lol

To be fair, we only ever get this much snow in the South of the UK once every 20 years or so, so we don't have snowploughs on hand to get us dug out! Many of those adults haven't seen snow like this since they were too tiny to remember, hence the fun!
