Wolverhampton, UK – Video filmed by X user ChrisMelBaz, a Wolves FC fan from the Wolverhampton area, shows a man battling to push a stuck black BMW 5 Series Touring at the Henwood Road/Tettenhall Road junction on the evening of January 8, 2026.

The nighttime clip captures the car’s rear wheels buried in thick, fresh snow on a sloped or icy section of the junction. Taillights glow bright red, illuminating swirling snowflakes under streetlights and nearby shop lighting, including a visible “Parade” sign.

A man in a yellow-and-red plaid jacket, jeans, and boots leans hard against the bumper, pushing with effort. The wheels spin without traction, illustrating the “no momentum” struggle noted in the post’s caption.

The road and pavements are completely covered in snow, with drifts piled along curbs and bushes. Falling snow reduces visibility, and parked cars in the distance are also snow-covered, creating a cold, blustery, and frustrating scene for drivers.

This moment is part of the wider chaos caused by Storm Goretti, which dumped up to 15–30 cm of snow across the Midlands on January 8–9, 2026. The storm led to amber warnings, hazardous driving, stranded vehicles, airport suspensions including Birmingham, power outages, and community efforts to help motorists. Residents were seen rushing to push stuck cars amid blizzard-like conditions.

The video’s lighthearted tone, captioned “No momentum #uksnow,” resonated with viewers, highlighting how locals coped with the rare severe snowfall and widespread disruption.
