Indeed :)

Yay:)

thats most fall days in germany

Woohoo! :)

Ikr

I thought the same thing

Yes

Yeah I was wasn't sure what this was gonna be compared to. His longer videos. Glad I clicked on it anyway.

I wouldn't have watched this if you didn't leave this comment

Grey goes Out

Grey goes into the grey. London.

@@nomadMik Grey's Day Out

Small steps mate.

Guray

I would like but you have the funny number

Rip number of dislikes

Agreed

Seems consistent.

Which makes him better than a vlogger

I really enjoyed the slow camera moves with timelapse.

I have to double check whether i am subscribing CGP grey for the cartoon-stick or the vlog

its nice to have a video that didnt take hundreds of hours of work and research. just a little serendipity

No, no, I'm from upstate and I disagree, this is neither adverse nor glorious, it's 4 months out of the year. I'd call it "painful but pretty" weather

If this happened where I live, we would all die.

@@shawnmou9600 Try 6 months a year of snowy weather in Michigan :D I still call it glorious, but sometimes it's "adventurous" too

I agree. I’ve never seen snow like this in my life, living in the middle of the desert and all

@@AidanRahder You get really cold nights though. Do they ever get below freezing temperature?

Grey is wholesome confirmed

Where now?

He laughs all the time on the streams.

It a wonderful laugh, I was hoping someone else noticed

As some others have pointed out, this was recorded pre-pandemic.

I love you too no matter what it it is ^^

You know him personally?!?!

@@Man_Man_Man_Man_Man Yes, I'm Grey.

Sorry??

@@Man_Man_Man_Man_Man I mean on his podcast, I understand his personality

open (and empty)

It’s 6am for me

.........9:45

Am Pst

after watching the video, this is probably THE time he did that

What it's 7pm

Me: Wants to travel to London COVID: How about no

I grew up in London, moved out 5 years ago. This video makes me miss it like crazy...

We'd love to have you in San Francisco; the locals need the trade.

it'll probably never snow again in London so it doesn't matter

Exactly that, I used to live there, hated it. Seeing this video made me realise that while it isn't a great place to live unless you are pulling in at least £60k a year, it is stunning to observe

nah, just fluttershy

You can go over to hyde park with an apple and the parakeets will perch on you, they're lovely and friendly :)

@@thejoxter3059 There used to be monk parakeets in Hyde Park, Chicago too! But they released falcons a few years back to clear out "pigeons" and now there's nothing left.

You'd think so, but those parakeets in Hyde park are notorious for being incredibly friendly and people loving. My cousin goes and feeds them a lot

@@calvinhoward3808 there are hundreds in all the London parks. They're really tame compared to the pigeons

I haven't had the best day. This fixed that.

Just following the rules that are in Castle Grey.

Feet markers?

Easy. > The View from The Shard is currently closed in accordance with latest Government guidelines.

He also eats inside of a coffee shop, which I’m pretty sure you can’t do in London rn

And from what he’s said on Cortex, he’s taking lockdown very seriously, so I doubt he would’ve broken quarantine over a snow day

It’s actually 3 years ago.

@@enricorpg this video came out like 2 days after some of the heaviest snow in the UK I've seen in years (though I live in the south west, London could've been different) so I just assumed the video was produced incredibly quickly lol.

Took three years to edit this video. The quality is sincerely valued :-)

same

But did you call out or just not show?

"and i took that personally"

Birb

And i agree with the pigeon.

Yeah but the pigeon will say _anything_ if it thinks there's even _a chance_ of a dropped chip/breadcrumb ...

One tear to both eyes. TALENT!

What country you love now

@@bttremby6642 USA

Yea I just bought this tear from the grocery store

It actually snowed here on Sunday

@@SplatterInker In London it was Wednesday at that time.

For me it was also Wednesday

For me it was 36 degrees c

Unworthy Potato for me it was that negative :)

Pirates branding video is my closest guess

I presume you don't follow cortex then

"it's open to the sky!"

@@elenagraves6249 "I am The Eye," .....sometimes I forget he's a LoTR nerd lol. So awesome.

Just a wholesome grey video

Hotel: Trivago

lol

Of course! Remember the glorious "humble bumble" video?! Grey could easily pass as Dr. Seuss for our times..

A top quality clog

@@fabian0042 r/grammarnazi

@@spicyleaves8876 r/ihavereddit

@@spicyleaves8876 r/spellingisntgrammar

Grey's clog is definitely better than any others' vlog. Also stfu, Spicyleaves.

As-of-yet underrated comment. Surely this will change.

Perfect comment ❤

This should be top comment! doesn't look like a bird native to the British isles though, possibly escaped from captivity? rose-ringed parakeet I think?

It looks like there is at least one other parakeet in the background.

@@theeutecticpoint yeah they are ring-necked parakeets, there have been feral parakeets living in parts of London since as early as the 1830s but most are descendants of what are known as the "Kingston Parakeets" who established a sizable colony in Richmond Park in Kingston-Upon-Thames and then spread through South West London up into the rest of London throughout the 20th Century. There's a lot of urban legends about them being Jimi Hendrix's escaped pets or other such stories, but almost all of the stories come after the first known sightings of birds in the Royal Parks. It's a combo of escaped pets and birds stowed away on cargo ships, and for some reason the ring-necked parakeet is an invasive species that really thrives here.

The parakeets are everywhere in london! They’re especially tame in the parks and have come to associate humans with the food givers rather than the scary creatures

@@ArtemisScribe interesting to know, thanks!

I mean, he always considers knowledge etc to be like a forest, and he just started a cult about a shape Definitely fae

but but, he wont go outside as much then..

I believe he had planned more vlog-style videos last year... but then covid happened so he bunkered down instead.

@@Sebasu_tan yeah especially with that video exploring the missile test facility, it seems quite strange for that to have been a one-off thing

Considering this video is probably from 2018, I'm hoping to see some more of these released soon.

@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 This video is from a few days ago?

A wild k6 appeared!!

Watched this from a summer heat wave in the southern hemisphere. Felt horrible.

Same

You ate the bowl 🥣🙄😕

Sounds messy

Right?! That's like my new favourite thing.

Did ... did he just barad-dured the Shard??!?

This implies that there is a Sauron somewhere in London.

Coasts & winds

yeah it's a west coast thing. The North American west coast is kinda the same - if New York was on the west coast, it would be in California!

Yeah isn’t like Belfast and Stalingrad on the same latitude as well?

I would compare London's weather to that of vancouver, the West coast has similar weather patterns

@@acatwithafancyhat5782 "Stalingrad" (really Volgograd) is on the same latitude as Paris. Belfast is a little futher south than Moscow.

There's snow on the ground where I am right now - it's commonplace here, but watching Grey's excitement makes me feel like I'm really experiencing it with him. Snow is wonderful.

Hasn't snowed properly in my part of the UK for 10 years now, and it used to snow every year or 2

@El Dimos Karam yeah I just mean my part of the UK which is on the coast. Apparently living by salt water decreases likelihood of snow but we did used to get snow quite regularly. Now it hasn't snowed properly in 10 years :/

Enjoy every little thing, such as snow, otherwise one day, you'll look back at your life and see that it was meaningless. Yay!

Oh he can do that too.

i am annoyed by how trite this comment is

exurb1a

This is me every time any science channel uploades

Listen to the audiobooks he unloaded

The first time in two years haha

Global Warming 😁

@@amiraa6407 what part of London do you live in? For me like 5 years

@@barrysutton4589 I'm sure that has hardly anything to do with global warming. The climate would be like that either way in britain.

@@kkmac7247 We got a dusting last year in Surrey, but it melted an hour after the snow stopped. At least I could call it a snow day!

The parakeets in hyde park like to perch on people, especially if you have an apple. They're extremely adorable and I highly recommend it.

There are loads of parakeets in London, there’s tons in my local park, I’m honestly amazed they’ve adapted to survive winters in London

In lots of european cities there are wild parrots. Its REALLY cool. If you life in some german cities for example, it can happen to you that you wake up because of a strange noise, you look out of the window, and you see a huge group of blue greenish parrots flying outside. It always instantly cheers me up.

@@drai4077 Amsterdam and more big cities also have loads of them, mostly in and around the big parks. In the past people let them free and somehow they adapted and keep breeding like crazy. I like it tho ghehe.

The parrot watches his videos

You’re right - what a sneaky vid

I was going to say all this stuff is open I was surprised

Yeah, I was like, there is no way the shard viewing platform is open during this lockdown

It's only been standing fully for about a year yet now it feels impossible to imagine getting a view of the square mile without 22 Bishopsgate. Also, the walkie talkie looks so much less ugly with a white coating.

Yeah, I was wondering, I thought the UK was in lockdown.

I'm guessing those parakeets have been hand fed before. They're feral Rose-Ringed Parakeets and are the most northernly breeding population of parrots.

Exactly my train of thought!

I hope you have seen his video of driving a Tesla on the loneliest road in America it’s fantastic.

Same!

@@andjoa1975 The 48 hours in Vegas was quite interesting too! I never thought I'd enjoy this kind of stuff but... I do

@@njeneway3776 Yes I believe the Vegas and the road trip were shot together but there were a couple of years in between their release on UKposts 😁

bestagon land*

And we all know they're the bestagons

Hextonia? Hexislavokia? Hexgland? The Hextain isles!

Ye

@@realneonbluegamer lol

Those parakeets in Hyde Park are notoriously friendly. Stick out your hand and you can be a Disney Princess too

Representing Norway, we share your sentiment.

😂 In the UK, it never gets below - 5 celcius in London, and never above 35 in the summer It always stays at a constant rainy, drizzly climate

There is no adverse weather, only poor choices in clothing.

@@DingDingTheUKpostsBuddy Chicago isn’t a very mild climate. Quite the opposite

Representing the West Coast of Canada, I agree, but I really want my snow

remember the road trip? he was *ecstatic.* but i do agree that he was really joyful here.

Right?! How can that kind of birds live wild in London? It did not look native? 🦜

@@Wintersnow1212 i see them all the time. The story goes that they were on the way to / already at London zoo but they escaped, and somehow they’ve just adapted to the environment. It’s crazy, i know. Just a little quirk this place has i guess.

The green birds are ring necked parakeets. They live wild all over London. Rumour has it that they escaped from the set of "The African Queen" when it was filmed in London back in the day. But whatever, they're now common in the London parks and green spaces.

@@Wintersnow1212 There is an urban legend that they escaped from the film set of "The African Queen" in the 1950s and created a breeding population. Not sure how true that is though

I believe that they were a fad pet for a while many years ago and when people got fed up of looking after them they set them free. They've bred like crazy and are all over the parks in central London.

Central London is a great touristy area. Even as a local from the outskirts (South-west, near Heathrow), when I head into Central to look around it's great. Normally in December I'd have gone with my parents to look at the Christmas lights and the tree in Trafalgar Square that we get given every year from Norway. Best thing to do though is to go to some of the really touristy areas, but dive off down a side street somewhere. You never know what you'll find. Explore the less travelled areas, and you'll see a whole different side to London.

@@itskdog yeah I live in Ealing, couldn’t have asked for a better city to be born into.

That's part of the wonder of this video. I'll never experience a snow day from the top of The Shard, but Grey brings that experience right to us.

Q and A time!

Same

@@maxbaktbrood9976 Maybe on the 30th, because that's the 10th anniversary of his first video?

@@MortalRepublic Yeah that seems more reasonable

Do we know if CGP has watched ATLA?

@@npzabov not sure

And we did! I just wish I was in London to enjoy it!

Indeed: the closest we had to them where I live were in 2007 and 2020, when blizzards made it difficult to go anywhere. London honestly looks like a typical Canadian city at the start of winter.

Can confirm, we only have snow days on particularly bad days, tho what we here in ontario consider bad someone in alberta is like "hahaha you weaklings"

We got a day off because of freezing rain or if there was like over 30 cm of snow that morning.

Canada doesn't get time off from snow; snow gets time off from Canada.

Same here
