GLOBAL HIT: Attendant Chris Brand with another heap of snow in the car park which last year drew international interest
CLITHEROE’s ‘shrinking glacier’ has once again made an appearance.
The huge heap of snow on Booths supermarket car park has been piled high outside the store since the snowfalls of late December.
Last year, the winter phenomenon ended up creating international interest due to the efforts of amateur photographer Dennis Ogden, who had been putting images online every week.
Internet users from as far afield as Australia, Montreal, and Connecticut, were keeping a watchful eye on it.
Elaine Bicknell, duty manager at the store, said: “It got well into March last year before it melted and I’d heard that some people were taking bets on how long it would last.
“It towers above me as it’s about 9ft at the moment.”
