Description:
There’s something magical about the first snowfall of the season, especially in a city as charming as Cambridge. As the snowflakes gently blanket the historic streets, the iconic colleges, bridges, and parks transform into a winter wonderland. Snow in the UK is often fleeting, making moments like these even more special. From crisp white layers on the rooftops to the crunch of fresh snow underfoot, it’s a scene straight out of a postcard.
While snow in the UK is typically light, when it accumulates, it can cause disruptions on the roads and public transport. Interestingly, as snow melts and refreezes, it can turn into “black snow” — snow mixed with dirt and pollution, often found near roadsides. This reminds us to cherish the pristine beauty of fresh snow while it lasts.
Tips to handle snowfall in the UK:
1. Wear sturdy, waterproof footwear to prevent slipping.
2. Carry an umbrella to shield yourself from heavy snowfall.
3. Avoid walking on icy patches; stick to gritted paths whenever possible.
4. Drive carefully as roads can be slippery, and allow extra time for travel.
Fun Fact: Did you know snowflakes are made of ice crystals that form around tiny particles of dust? That means each snowflake is a tiny masterpiece with its own unique design.
