00:00 Hello, it's Henry Liston here reporting for the Lancashire Evening Post and as you can
00:06 see it's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowed overnight so I'm going to head into the city
00:13 of Preston to find out how people are coping in the snow and we'll take in some of the
00:18 sights and see if they look all pretty and snowy.
00:23 Let's go!
00:24 Oh, I mean it does look wonderfully pretty in the snow.
00:44 There's the church next to the back of the uni building.
00:50 Beautiful!
00:53 Someone has made a cheeky little snowman but there is competition.
01:02 Well hello!
01:03 I think this one wins because of its smiley face.
01:08 Using a leaf, very creative!
01:20 Just the other side of the student centre now and there's been quite a bit of traction
01:26 through here this morning but as you can see the roads are nicely gritted and clear.
01:35 Cars are getting through just fine.
01:37 And a big old lorry!
01:43 Snow's still coming down though and it does look extremely decadent on these trees like
01:52 royal icing.
02:02 On Friargate now.
02:05 Lots of snow, not much grit either.
02:11 Preston Flag Market now.
02:21 Lots of snow, untouched in places.
02:40 The gritters are out.
02:41 Are you having some issues here?
02:43 Yeah, we've got a flat tyre.
02:44 Flat tyre on the gritter?
02:47 You're doing great work lads.
02:49 I can't help you there though, I haven't got my pump with me.
02:56 Made it to the train station.
03:02 Very well trodden here, well gritted as well.
03:08 Caravans and slodges on sale already on the high street.
03:18 Wallace and Gromit have avoided the snow.
03:23 It's very slushy around here at the market.
03:31 How big are we going with this guys?
03:33 I think we go up to this.
03:35 Yeah?
03:36 Yeah.
03:37 Okay, you've got a long way to go.
03:39 I think 10 minutes.
03:41 10 minutes?
03:42 Yeah.
03:43 Okay.
03:44 It will be ready.
03:45 Well that's one way to do it.
03:46 Get the old blower on it.
03:52 There we go.
