When a winter storm hits, most people hunker down until itโs over. But all over the UK, there are men and women whose jobs force them to go out in the worst gales, the strongest blizzards, the iciest roads and the deadliest seas.
These storm warriors are going to tell their own story, providing us with a first person account of what it means to do battle with the elements. As we delve into their stories, weโre also going to see UGC vignettes from the ordinary Brits who live and work in areas hits by extreme weather conditions.

stupid people should have died!!!!
This will never happen to me. And if you need help don't ask me. You're on your own.
Too many friggin ADS!!!!
We here in Canada's north sure can sympathize with you all… what a fiasco you went through! Good on you.. thank you for taking care of so many.
saw the number of ads, clicked out
They complained about the car abandoned in the middle of that road but didn't give a thought as to where the driver might have got to. It looked like the area was in the middle of nowhere and in those conditions you could die from exposure very quickly – That kind of thing has happened many times here in Illinois during winter storms only to find a body a few days later.
38:34 oof
I feel sorry for them
Lmao the guy at 17:19 just taking out the trash during the storm gives zero fucks. ๐๐๐
Hard to believe that in 2018-19 people are still whining about too many ads.
That grand sound at 12:00…
I hate our f===ing Climate. What has happened? When I was a kid in the 60's, and a teenager in the 70's
we didn't get extreme weather like we are getting now. Sure, we got snow in winter, so deep you had to
dig your way out of the house. But, spring and summer were usually, for the most part, warm and sunny.
What has changed, now we are getting extreme weather, they are even giving these "Storms" names now,
just like the Caribbean area's. Now that did not happen in years gone by. Stop polluting the air, and cutting
down the rain forests the "Lungs of the Earth"
when the waterfall goes uphill, you know you shouldn't be outside.
the 2 guys were kinda cocky "we know what we are doing we were just caught by surprise"…sure, that's why 4 guys had to risk their lifes + a helicopter had to get you while you had your boots OUTSIDE of the tent…infuriating.
I have experienced how bad the weather can be in quite a few places around the world, from the heights of the Cairngorms to the desert of Saudi Arabia, but always in a safe manner or place, I would love to live in a region that actually had severe weather, but only in a home able to withstand the worst Mother Nature can throw at you, the power of nature is an awesome thing and has to be respected, unfortunately some people donโt seem to think of the dangers and do whatever they want, putting others in danger when they have to go to save the irresponsible and selfish. ๐๐๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
Lol at the guy golfing in the storm

Salutes to these heroes!
Ah snow. When I moved to the US Midwest and experienced my first heavy snow it was amazing. By the time the winter ended I never wanted to see snow again for the rest of my life. Unfortunately I was to experience it nearly every year for the next 20 years. Give me locusts, give me plagues, give me Tornado's but no more snow…
HA! Here in Canada this is nothing.
normal business as usual.
They don't salt the roads and they don't have winter studded tires.
People who get themselves into these situations risk the lives of others.
Welcome to Alaska.
Oh wait.
10 passenger SnowCat or a couple snowmachines towing a sled would make your lives easy as heck. No reason an open mountain rescue team like that shouldnโt have at least one Arctic Cat. You can get used one with reverse and hand warmers and leg warmers for $3,500. Long paddle track and heated seat for $5,500. A brand new machine $11,000.
A used SnoCat prolly $18,000. Itโll seat up to 10, go up ski slopes at serious inclines. And the cabins are heated- even down to 100 below.
Lol was that damn pilot steering with his leg?
The captain of the boat did awesome job explaining the science of balls needed to have to fight those waves. Kudos. God bless them
God bless those that risk their lives to help others. ๐ค
Did anyone get saved? Snowborders, excluded, I saw a lot of people looking for help.
I have so much admiration for mountain rescue. Those men & women selflessly volunteer knowing that they are putting their lives on the line to help strangers.
True, unrecognised heroโs
Thank you and may you all be safe x ๐
Brave people, one and all.
At 22:05 The pilot says โthe swells are running 7 meters.โ Thatโs 22 feet!!
The previous Winter of 2013/14 was the stormiest and one of the wettest on record. But the winter of 14/15 was less mild and very northwesterly and very changeable with no particular weather type dominating.
What language are some of the people speaking
this really made me aware of what's going on nowadays
