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.
