Wow. Just wow. After 5 winters living in Finland, the snow has often made me despair... but this is next level insane. How you can even face it is beyond me. There's just nowhere left to throw the snow to. As someone who has spent endless hours digging, hacking, snowthrowing, ploughing and scraping, just watching this is making me anxious. My hat is off to you sir! Keep fighting the fight 💪👍🙂
I remember in the 70s when I was a kid they were warning that we were headed back into a glacial maximum (ice age). I guess they were right. th-cam.com/video/RQRqr9_jw5I/w-d-xo.html
earlier this month i was in Greenland,.... the solution there was to have a loader dump the snow in the harbor,.... issue with the Sierra is a lack of harbor.

My husband and I feel so bad for you. Dealing with snow for as long as you have and now sick. We can hear the frustration in your voice and how tired you are. Shocked at how the city dropped the ball this time. We will keep you, your family and residents in prayer.
It's why Mammoth Mt. resort *exits,* reason it's economically viable and why Dave McCoy established ski lifts THERE. Why feel bad for a great thing?? (McCoy was a young snow surveyor prior and knew where the consistent best snow fell)
@@Mrbfgray I don't know. It's a very passive stance. Somebody on the other side of things was and is praying for snow, because it serves good purpose. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure a lot of us understand and sympathize. But.... you chose to live there. And, your choosing to do so is also what puts food on the table. The grass is always greener. This year it just wont be greener till sometime in June or July? Ooops. Time to put another log on the fire.
@@MortonLuvz2drum Born and raised 45 miles from there, started skiing at 5, did contracting throughout the area till late 20's. I'm familiar with it. In high school we'd hit the chain control areas to install chains for some fast cash while it lasted. As much as I love the high country I now live just below it on the West side where I can grow everything from apples to avocados, don't have to worry about wildfires as much, snow or cougars eating my pets. Yeah--pick your penalties vs benefits, I've spent days digging out roofs and vehicles from deep snow, usually for no pay, not the worst workout environment. Now I put up with working in 100/110 deg summer days, lol. It's all good. :D
@@MortonLuvz2drum Also spent a few weeks working on top of Mammoth Mt. into the early snow flurries in the fall, building the first (only?) chair lift to the top. Cold and windy at 11k alt. Need to get back for some skiing one of these days.
I'm so sorry you and your family have been sick. Will be praying for a speedy recovery for all and continued strength to get through the remainder of the season! 🙏❤
@@lynnhall4981 But the ski mountains close until their ready to open. I'm sure the plows couldn't plow the roads, because there was stuck cars in the way.
I have to agree with James. This is a state of emergency at the state and federal level, way beyond the capabilities of a single township government to address. And while I fully understand the frustration, the fact remains that small local governments can only do so much. They don't have the tax base or tax income to stand prepared for a series of storms of this magnitude. And yeah, I'd be hot over the fact that the roads to the resorts were kept much better maintained than local residential roads, but let's face it: the local government gains a LOT more income from the resorts than they do from residents. Those resorts power the entire local economy, drive the entire local community. If you had limited resources and a huge base to service, tell me true, which would you service first and foremost? Local government must consider the needs of ALL, not just residents, which means devoting resources to keeping main arterial routes passable so that supplies (food, gas, etc) can be available to those that can make it to a place to resupply. Residents choose to live in a place they know may not be well resourced to service their needs in an emergency situation, keep that in mind. In short, your local government is doing the best that they can, even if you believe it is failing you. It's a totally unprecedented emergency situation, a little patience and understanding of the limits of small local governmental powers is called for, IMO.
Record shattering winter, record snowpack. Perhaps the town is overwhelmed. Perhaps they have equipment problems. A little grace, maybe??? It's not like this is a flurry.

Hang in there. This will pass. Thank you for sharing your experience during such a difficult time. We hope you get well soon. When weather is calmer we are going to visit Mammoth Lakes and your restaurant. Good luck!
Once this snow is all melted you need to do a drive around and show us what your neighborhood looks like without snow. With comparison pictures. Such stories to share with your grandkids one day. Hoping you all get some relief soon and a slow, long warm up so stuff doesn't melt too fast. Thanks for the updates
God bless ya. I know everyone's sanity is at its breaking point. For you to push through and make these videos while remaining somewhat calm speaks to your character.
We are getting snow in Utah too . Been having snow storms the past week for almost a whole week . And cold . Morgan Utah is roof deep . So is Wasatch mountains . Take care .
I heard the polar vortex collapsed. A mini ice age was predicted to start 2021-22 according to a mathematician. NASA confirmed a mini ice age is coming. If the seasons don’t change and it never gets warm again it’s the mini ice age arrival. FYI.
Unreal. As I was watching, I was wondering to myself, "when is this guy going to get mad? Jesus, I'm assuming people pay taxes up there, what the holy f*%k? Totally unacceptable!" Then you finally said what I was thinking. I'm exhausted for you!!
Absolutely mind boggling, that these are the conditions the residents of your village have to contend with. That the municipality left the roads in such hazardous and life threatening condition is even more unbelievable! I hope they get your roads opened quickly. You have my respect and admiration for enduring such challenging and dangerous conditions!
Dang, dude, enough is enough already! You guys have been buried most of the winter, and I see your snowblower is definitely getting a good workout, along with yourself having to dig out cars/clean the roof, etc. Thanks for a cool video update, and stay safe & warm!
You have a great drive to succeed. You are sick and tired and still pushing through it. I feel for all that are living through this but I’m glad to see the snow finally returning to the mountains again. As far as the lack of leadership in California, eh, I hope you vote them out asap.
So much snow unbelievable but everyday that ends your closer to the finish line keep up the good work and may you have a good seep and recover well from your head cold
Been thinking of you the last couple of days . Saw some other channels . There is no snow in the valley or low land none and all this where you live . The channel had driven down . Please stay safe . You are doing a great job ,
I've been researching this more and I read that the years with the heaviest amount of snow in the Sierras had very snowy Aprils too. Sorry to say that. It should also be noted that the volcano that went off last year in the S. Pacific injected an enormous amount of moisture into the atmosphere so you can't help but wonder how much that might have been a factor in all of this.

You sir are an everyday HERO. Sick and not only digging yourself out but people stuck in the road! Well done. Grew up in the mountains and have a lot of experience with the white stuff. Seems to me the old timers did a lot better keeping the roads open with older equipment! Just wondering why I didn't see hardly anyone with chains? Hope you and the family get well soon and mother nature says " ok, that's good enough" take care out thar. 🤠👱🌲🌲🌲 🎼
I am 53 years old and live in the SE US. The only time I have seen it snow that heavy was in 2011 at Sugar Mountain Ski resort at 5200 ft above sea level in western NC in the Appalachian mountains. It snowed 42 inches in 12 hours. It was under 10 degrees F the whole time so the snow ratio was about 40 to 1 but it was amazing. But I am sure that is just a dusting to you. Appreciate your channel. Peace!

I I hear you and the frustraction of digging your self out of that white snow and then to see that the roads are not clean. I wish you the best and hope that you and the familia get better from that cold.
As someone from the UK, I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it, 700+ inches is an incredible amount of snow, you can see stratification in the snow layers, much of the scenery looks like some massive meringue dessert .... It is simply unreal. Thanks for sharing, I do like your videos driving around town and the back roads )
Mind blowing!!! I agree that the city definitely dropped the ball today of all days, plus your sick! Which is no surprise to Me after everything you've been through with digging out every single day! Holy Cow! I believe you have more than 57' of snow. I think that was near Tahoe vs Mammoth. You still have April to go yet,and I heard you may get more snow 😢 I'm praying for ALL of you up there in the Sierras! Lord knows you guys need a big break 🙏 I pray that this wave ends soon and you can rest and get well to fight the next if necessary. But, I truly pray you don't have to deal with much more. God Bless you and your family and All the Residents up there. Please keep Us updated when your able. Get you and your family well. 🙏🙏🙏🫶🫶🫶💗💗💗 Take care and Thank you for the update. 🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
SNOW MUCH WINTER!! We’ve had 72” in SLC this winter, which seems like a lot in and of itself. But the mountains are insane. Wasatch Mountains have received a foot shy of 800” with 215” on the ground. Can only imagine the Sierras!
Now that you lost the garage parking spot...that has to really suck. Shoveling two cars (and having to clean them off) to get them out of the driveway so that you (or the skid guy) can clear it is a daunting task with that much snow. Hopefully, if you are going to fix or re-do the garage, there is room to perhaps extend it back to make space for two cars in a row? And say hi to RIN for us. She is probably so disorientated when she can see where she is without reference points.
It's so amazing to see all the snow totals,.. I'm guessing my little 630sq ft cabin in town (behind the old Gomez's A-Frame) would be ~4 ft buried. I miss Mammoth so much!
Absolutely incredible footage! No need for a gym membership with all that snow to move. Hopefully the last big storm of the season. So sorry you are feeling poorly. Makes the situation that much harder to deal with and it's not something you can put off until you feel better. Hope you and yours get well soon. Best regards, Kevin
you were owning it on the road for a while lol.. take it as blessing you got to see that much snow, no more weather lady talking about the drought. all the best!
How many times, if any, have you cleared the roof this season ? Issues with ice dams at all ? That Honda sounds smooth, may have to look at one, my 2008 Toro failed badly last week.
I've watched a few of your video recordings and at this point in time this winter thing is hard to imagine. It's tough what you're all going thru and we can only pray for a good outcome there. I wish you the best and hope you get better treated and quicker responses by the maintenance department.

I can't even comprehend how you find your own home with snow piled in front of all landmarks. Thank you for showing us what you are dealing with. It is mind blowing (no pun intended). Take care.
I’m sure you have heard that the plow brothers were called out for an emergency call to a major building that was having structural damage. They had to pull everyone to the site.
I'm curious as to what happened with the town highway department. I've been following several creators from the Mammoth area, seem like they have been doing a pretty good job up until now. I'm sure like everyone else they are overwhelmed and burnt out, and sick. Hope they get back on top of things soon. Hang in there, you are almost there. Just get through April.
I saw a video where they were digging out all their equipment and had multiple mechanics working nonstop repairing a few tractors as well. They’re blessed to have such a great group of workers. For some reason we didn’t get our streets plowed for over 3 weeks in San Bernardino mountains and it was devastating to our mountain. No one could even drive around like he was in this video for over 3 weeks
Good morning! My heart goes out to you folks! It's so unfair you folks are having to deal with this. You could call your local news & Complain to your local congressman. Glad your parents made it there & back safely. Hope you get to feeling better. Rin looks happy to be out. Keeping you & your family in thought & prayer.
When you choose to live in in the Mountains like , then you have to deal with these years , yes it is tiring, but it is SO NEEDED and it is a blessing .
Quite incredible amounts of snow this winter, amazing resilience you have all been showing facing these continuous dumping snowstorms, very wearysome I'm sure, hope the big thaw starts soon- brings to mind the old saying'too much of a good thing' eh!! Stay safe. Would studded tyres be any good??Cheers.
WOW man You had a rough day. I recall in the 80's when the manufactures of snow throwers offered shoot extensions and I always wondered "who would need that"? now I know. We had maybe 2 inches of snow all season in NJ. We see green grass now you guys might by July. Take care and be safe.
You seem to have a snow allergy!! Poor Tahoe needs to disable traction control. Glad that the west coast is finally getting some snowpack to help recharge those aquifers! Still so far behind though. Pickup needs a 4BTA in the back running a 7' snowblower up front. Maybe some tire chains just in case.. As you said its the worst in your area in 14 years, maybe they can't maintain that level of staffing or they've run out of budget?
I used to live in Mammoth Lakes back in the day.I lived at Krystal Villa East, Crowley and Old Mammoth.Never saw anything quite like this tho.. sounds like you've got "The Mammoth Crud":( hope you feel better soon!💜 Hopefully you have a humidifier at home.Helps a lot with the dry air and all.
My what a day. You are pretty amazing, and I hope you all get well. Great the grandparents were able to spend time with the family. Have a good rest, you deserve it. What an incredible year. I’m up in Canada just above the Canada/USA border on Hwy 97 - Washington State to the Okanagan Valley in Canada. We have been spared somewhat compared to you folks. Take Care down there. Be safe.
It's almost like they are cloud seeding off the western coast line this winter. Where I am,,in Canada,,,we get your storm 2-3 days after you. We are around the Great Lakes.
FYI adding 10 or so sand bags in bed of truck up against tailgate makes a HUGE difference. Used to plow with diesel trucks up in Maine.. engine is so heavy the rear end does not do much without weight on it..
Good morning sir as a reference for me I would like to see what your front yard looks like after the snow canyons melts. I truly enjoy your video. Best video's from California snow canyons. Fantastic video sir.
Mammoth has had 58 feet of snow this season. A historical record. The blame game is hard to reconcile considering the onslaught of weather faced by the community.
Wow that is insane! I know it is supposed to snow in Mammoth but this is down right crazy. I live in SoCal it rains twice a week on the same days🤔 we have leaks and the yard is over saturated, and it has been cold too😖 🙏🏻 it stops for all of us soon..
Your "shovel-snow" muscles are likely in the best shape ever. Seems to me a lot of people are out driving around on sightseeing trips when they should have stayed at home, including YOU.
bro, I live in Running Springs and I was driving through 3' of snow with my transmission light going on... I still kept keeping tabs because my cousin lives out in Mammoth. Although you guys are way better prepared, we have nothing to complain about! We got 150" but that doesn't compare to 695 "... holy shit... those walls though! I said the same thing you said earlier in your video, " where's our tax money going to?" No one was plowing the roads! Dope video! Arm felt like a noodle the 2nd day!
Nice work. Nice neighboring. Almost seems like parking a rig closer to the epicenter of town with a snow shovel in it would be convenient and then use skins and skis and a sled to transport self and supplies back to your snowbound neighborhood.

I remember in the 70s when I was a kid they were warning that we were headed back into a glacial maximum (ice age). I guess they were right.

Fires kill more people than 3m of snow does. Keep it real.
@@Squidley1972 More people die yearly of cold than heat. Not sure where you got your numbers from, but feel free to share and I'll review. Keep it Nimoy.
I can hear you're exhausted. I always complain about southeast PA not getting any snow this winter, but I always tuned into your channel for my snow fix. Thk you for allowing us to see the incredible amount of snow you've gotten.
That drive around you neighborhood was insane. So much snow!
Cool drive. General edict if not law: Uphill vehicle has right of way and less capable car given benefit.

Oh I wish this was the last of it. Good job documenting history J.
Awesome view of the snow. I've never seen it like that. All the best for you and yours
I hope you keep these up after the snow. I love to see your neighborhood after the melt.
i love to watch other people shovel snow !!!!!😄
Expecally when you did it for 3 generations and then move ...
Hang in there. This will pass. Thank you for sharing your experience during such a difficult time. We hope you get well soon. When weather is calmer we are going to visit Mammoth Lakes and your restaurant. Good luck!
Once this snow is all melted you need to do a drive around and show us what your neighborhood looks like without snow. With comparison pictures. Such stories to share with your grandkids one day. Hoping you all get some relief soon and a slow, long warm up so stuff doesn't melt too fast. Thanks for the updates
He might have to wait until 2024 to do that. I think a lot of that snow won't melt this year.
I’m really curious to watch the melting and how it all goes. I’m in Georgia, so this is all mind boggling to me.
The pattern of the snow coming out of the blower is quite mesmerizing!!!
Your truck is a beast! When you're stuck, you're really stuck in that.
God bless ya. I know everyone's sanity is at its breaking point. For you to push through and make these videos while remaining somewhat calm speaks to your character.
We are getting snow in Utah too .
Been having snow storms the past week for almost a whole week .
And cold .
Morgan Utah is roof deep .
So is Wasatch mountains .
Take care .
I heard the polar vortex collapsed. A mini ice age was predicted to start 2021-22 according to a mathematician. NASA confirmed a mini ice age is coming. If the seasons don’t change and it never gets warm again it’s the mini ice age arrival. FYI.
They don't know what -30 is, or wind chill.
Unreal. As I was watching, I was wondering to myself, "when is this guy going to get mad? Jesus, I'm assuming people pay taxes up there, what the holy f*%k? Totally unacceptable!" Then you finally said what I was thinking. I'm exhausted for you!!
Your Honda snowblower has been buried multiple times this season. Still fires up though.
Absolutely mind boggling, that these are the conditions the residents of your village have to contend with. That the municipality left the roads in such hazardous and life threatening condition is even more unbelievable! I hope they get your roads opened quickly. You have my respect and admiration for enduring such challenging and dangerous conditions!
There should NEVER EVER be any community built this high in the mountains. What do you expect when driving under a ski lift to reach your house?
My old man just rides his sleds around. He doesn't care how much it snows.
Dang, dude, enough is enough already! You guys have been buried most of the winter, and I see your snowblower is definitely getting a good workout, along with yourself having to dig out cars/clean the roof, etc.
Thanks for a cool video update, and stay safe & warm!
You have a great drive to succeed. You are sick and tired and still pushing through it. I feel for all that are living through this but I’m glad to see the snow finally returning to the mountains again. As far as the lack of leadership in California, eh, I hope you vote them out asap.
Wow! That is insane 😮! We are getting some spring in Michigan with 60’s in the forecast. Your spring is coming 🤞
So much snow unbelievable but everyday that ends your closer to the finish line keep up the good work and may you have a good seep and recover well from your head cold
Gotta love Honda realiability! Been using the same Honda lawnmower since the 80's.
Been thinking of you the last couple of days .
Saw some other channels .
There is no snow in the valley or low land none and all this where you live . The channel had driven down .
Please stay safe .
You are doing a great job ,
I've been researching this more and I read that the years with the heaviest amount of snow in the Sierras had very snowy Aprils too. Sorry to say that. It should also be noted that the volcano that went off last year in the S. Pacific injected an enormous amount of moisture into the atmosphere so you can't help but wonder how much that might have been a factor in all of this.

11:26 Are those the plow brothers? I recognize the dogs, Sadie the Golden and the black lab.
That's what I was thinking too. How many black Labs and Golden Retrievers would be running around together in Mammoth?
You sir are an everyday HERO. Sick and not only digging yourself out but people stuck in the road! Well done. Grew up in the mountains and have a lot of experience with the white stuff. Seems to me the old timers did a lot better keeping the roads open with older equipment! Just wondering why I didn't see hardly anyone with chains? Hope you and the family get well soon and mother nature says " ok, that's good enough" take care out thar. 🤠👱🌲🌲🌲 🎼
I am 53 years old and live in the SE US. The only time I have seen it snow that heavy was in 2011 at Sugar Mountain Ski resort at 5200 ft above sea level in western NC in the Appalachian mountains. It snowed 42 inches in 12 hours. It was under 10 degrees F the whole time so the snow ratio was about 40 to 1 but it was amazing. But I am sure that is just a dusting to you. Appreciate your channel. Peace!
Constantly digging out of that snow would get really old after awhile. Hope you feel better soon!
Some get tired of "8 months of white stuff", the price you pay for living there they all know in advance. At least they don't have to mow 9 months. 😉
Man it’s dejavu all over again! When I’m sick I don’t even want to get the coffee maker going or pick up the newspaper😒 got to be rough!

I I hear you and the frustraction of digging your self out of that white snow and then to see that the roads are not clean. I wish you the best and hope that you and the familia get better from that cold.
As someone from the UK, I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it, 700+ inches is an incredible amount of snow, you can see stratification in the snow layers, much of the scenery looks like some massive meringue dessert .... It is simply unreal. Thanks for sharing, I do like your videos driving around town and the back roads )
THE SNOW AT THE TOP OF MAMMOTH MT IS OVER 800 RIGHT NOW.UNBELIEVA LE !!!!! OUR PRAYERS ARE WIYH YOU!!!!!!!!!
The top of Mammoth reached of 900"
Mind blowing!!! I agree that the city definitely dropped the ball today of all days, plus your sick! Which is no surprise to Me after everything you've been through with digging out every single day! Holy Cow! I believe you have more than 57' of snow. I think that was near Tahoe vs Mammoth. You still have April to go yet,and I heard you may get more snow 😢 I'm praying for ALL of you up there in the Sierras! Lord knows you guys need a big break 🙏 I pray that this wave ends soon and you can rest and get well to fight the next if necessary. But, I truly pray you don't have to deal with much more. God Bless you and your family and All the Residents up there. Please keep Us updated when your able. Get you and your family well. 🙏🙏🙏🫶🫶🫶💗💗💗 Take care and Thank you for the update. 🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I can hear the frustration in your voice. I feel so bad for you and hoping for summer and melting SOON!
WAH! Try living in the San Bernardino mountains. No plows for 10 days!
SNOW MUCH WINTER!! We’ve had 72” in SLC this winter, which seems like a lot in and of itself. But the mountains are insane. Wasatch Mountains have received a foot shy of 800” with 215” on the ground. Can only imagine the Sierras!
After watching your videos, if I'm in market for a snow blower you've given Honda an extremely strong endorsement. You should be sponsored 😂😂
80°F yesterday. The plows weren't running here, either.
11:16 Oh my gosh!! There's Sadie and Bud, Ben's dogs. 🥰😁 So you guys live on the same road. How random is that? 😜😂
Now that you lost the garage parking spot...that has to really suck. Shoveling two cars (and having to clean them off) to get them out of the driveway so that you (or the skid guy) can clear it is a daunting task with that much snow. Hopefully, if you are going to fix or re-do the garage, there is room to perhaps extend it back to make space for two cars in a row? And say hi to RIN for us. She is probably so disorientated when she can see where she is without reference points.
It's so amazing to see all the snow totals,.. I'm guessing my little 630sq ft cabin in town (behind the old Gomez's A-Frame) would be ~4 ft buried. I miss Mammoth so much!
Absolutely incredible footage! No need for a gym membership with all that snow to move. Hopefully the last big storm of the season. So sorry you are feeling poorly. Makes the situation that much harder to deal with and it's not something you can put off until you feel better. Hope you and yours get well soon.
Best regards,
Kevin
I hope you have a speedy recovery, being sick is the worst!
you were owning it on the road for a while lol.. take it as blessing you got to see that much snow, no more weather lady talking about the drought. all the best!
California has gotten snow in April back in the 90's I remember searching for Easter eggs in 6 inches of snow.
How many times, if any, have you cleared the roof this season ? Issues with ice dams at all ? That Honda sounds smooth, may have to look at one, my 2008 Toro failed badly last week.
I've watched a few of your video recordings and at this point in time this winter thing is hard to imagine. It's tough what you're all going thru and we can only pray for a good outcome there. I wish you the best and hope you get better treated and quicker responses by the maintenance department.

I can't even comprehend how you find your own home with snow piled in front of all landmarks. Thank you for showing us what you are dealing with. It is mind blowing (no pun intended). Take care.
That snowblower is a beast, I'm sold lol
I’m sure you have heard that the plow brothers were called out for an emergency call to a major building that was having structural damage. They had to pull everyone to the site.
I'm curious as to what happened with the town highway department. I've been following several creators from the Mammoth area, seem like they have been doing a pretty good job up until now. I'm sure like everyone else they are overwhelmed and burnt out, and sick. Hope they get back on top of things soon. Hang in there, you are almost there. Just get through April.
I saw a video where they were digging out all their equipment and had multiple mechanics working nonstop repairing a few tractors as well. They’re blessed to have such a great group of workers. For some reason we didn’t get our streets plowed for over 3 weeks in San Bernardino mountains and it was devastating to our mountain. No one could even drive around like he was in this video for over 3 weeks
Good morning! My heart goes out to you folks! It's so unfair you folks are having to deal with this. You could call your local news & Complain to your local congressman. Glad your parents made it there & back safely. Hope you get to feeling better. Rin looks happy to be out. Keeping you & your family in thought & prayer.
no big deal--they have got it many times before--this guy has only been there 6 years
When you choose to live in in the Mountains like , then you have to deal with these years , yes it is tiring, but it is SO NEEDED and it is a blessing .
In regards to plowing, I also thought the state of CA had more people on emergency status to help prevent the situation you just showed.
Nothing like driving around on the set of the movie, "The Day After Tomorrow." Any sightings of Dennis Quaid yet?
Quite incredible amounts of snow this winter, amazing resilience you have all been showing facing these continuous dumping snowstorms, very wearysome I'm sure, hope the big thaw starts soon- brings to mind the old saying'too much of a good thing' eh!! Stay safe. Would studded tyres be any good??Cheers.
No Plow in sight - well you have to fill out a form. 😀
WOW man You had a rough day. I recall in the 80's when the manufactures of snow throwers offered shoot extensions and I always wondered "who would need that"? now I know. We had maybe 2 inches of snow all season in NJ. We see green grass now you guys might by July. Take care and be safe.
Prayers for you and the family and all in the community
You seem to have a snow allergy!! Poor Tahoe needs to disable traction control. Glad that the west coast is finally getting some snowpack to help recharge those aquifers! Still so far behind though. Pickup needs a 4BTA in the back running a 7' snowblower up front. Maybe some tire chains just in case.. As you said its the worst in your area in 14 years, maybe they can't maintain that level of staffing or they've run out of budget?
Man, it’s a full time job just to not be snow buried in. Hope you feel better soon!
I used to live in Mammoth Lakes back in the day.I lived at Krystal Villa East, Crowley and Old Mammoth.Never saw anything quite like this tho.. sounds like you've got "The Mammoth Crud":( hope you feel better soon!💜 Hopefully you have a humidifier at home.Helps a lot with the dry air and all.
My what a day. You are pretty amazing, and I hope you all get well. Great the grandparents were able to spend time with the family. Have a good rest, you deserve it. What an incredible year. I’m up in Canada just above the Canada/USA border on Hwy 97 - Washington State to the Okanagan Valley in Canada. We have been spared somewhat compared to you folks. Take Care down there. Be safe.
If the jet stream had been at our latitude….it would have been us getting the rain/snow….I live in Tonasket 😊
Wow 😢 and I thought our record breaking 120 inches was bad!! You are awesome doing all that and sick 🤢 prayers for you and the family 🙏
This is not the usual year the town didn't drop the ball there just overwhelmed 😮
It's almost like they are cloud seeding off the western coast line this winter.
Where I am,,in Canada,,,we get your storm 2-3 days after you. We are around the Great Lakes.
FYI adding 10 or so sand bags in bed of truck up against tailgate makes a HUGE difference. Used to plow with diesel trucks up in Maine.. engine is so heavy the rear end does not do much without weight on it..
The snow in the back probably adds around 100 extra pounds or more depending on the size of the bed.
Need more like1000 lbs not 100
@@beccamcgregor8394 It is not enough. the bed of our trucks were always full of snow. 400-500 lbs of wet frozen sand bags was needed.
@@nickdagostino4197 The more the better. Diesel trucks are super nose heavy.
Good morning sir as a reference for me I would like to see what your front yard looks like after the snow canyons melts. I truly enjoy your video. Best video's from California snow canyons. Fantastic video sir.
I can't believe I am actually watching a video of a guy... shoveling now... 😂😂😂
Oh my goodness looks dangerous the walls of snow!!! Crazy scary!!!
28:50 It's very pretty at night. 😍 I think this is the first time I've seen a night time clip. 😁 Thank you. 👍
I'm in South Lake Tahoe and we have a lot of ❄️ too but not as much. Glad I moved out.
Mammoth has had 58 feet of snow this season. A historical record. The blame game is hard to reconcile considering the onslaught of weather faced by the community.
YOU r realllly showing this snow season. What that HONDA SNOW BLOWER REALLLLY can do .
Sounds like you should be inside with a hot cup of tea, take care
Can't believe the snow you have and streets not plowed.
Endlessly inundated with snow. Feeling for you.
Wow that is insane! I know it is supposed to snow in Mammoth but this is down right crazy. I live in SoCal it rains twice a week on the same days🤔 we have leaks and the yard is over saturated, and it has been cold too😖 🙏🏻 it stops for all of us soon..
Your "shovel-snow" muscles are likely in the best shape ever.
Seems to me a lot of people are out driving around on sightseeing trips when they should have stayed at home, including YOU.
I hope you keep posting after snow is gone. Would like to see what your residential area looks like without snow.
My heart goes out to you. All I know is that I’m buying a Honda snowblower when the time comes.
You make even me want buy one of those snow blowers they seem awesome and I live at 80 feet elevation down in the Bay Area!!😂😂
I’m surprised all the truck companies are not up there filming their next round of commercials up there!
Don’t overdo! 😁 I’ve enjoyed your snow from afar 😍
bro, I live in Running Springs and I was driving through 3' of snow with my transmission light going on... I still kept keeping tabs because my cousin lives out in Mammoth. Although you guys are way better prepared, we have nothing to complain about! We got 150" but that doesn't compare to 695 "... holy shit... those walls though! I said the same thing you said earlier in your video, " where's our tax money going to?" No one was plowing the roads! Dope video! Arm felt like a noodle the 2nd day!
Putting a tarp on that snow blower would save you a bunch of grief. Nice it starts so easily and works well! A back saver for sure!
Nice work. Nice neighboring. Almost seems like parking a rig closer to the epicenter of town with a snow shovel in it would be convenient and then use skins and skis and a sled to transport self and supplies back to your snowbound neighborhood.
