  • Lucky #13 atmospheric river pummels Mammoth Lakes . Cars stuck (myself included) everywhere, accidents, impassible roads and worst of all no town plows to be found ! Let’s get people dug out and the snow moved

    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 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.

I will not predict what lake Powell or Mead will do. The "experts" believe the lakes will drop another 30' this year. I find this hard to believe with the snow pack in the west and the decreased demand due to flooding. Then again, what do I know, I have no PHD behind my name.

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.

    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?

    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 my respect and admiration for enduring such challenging and dangerous conditions!

    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 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

    I live in MinneSNOWta where we've had a top 10 snow fall year, around 80 inches (almost twice the average amount) at 1,100 feet where I'm at. It's been a LONG winter here but somehow I feel better watching these videos... though in summer and fall I'd MUCH rather be in the Sierra. When weary friends and family lament this long winter, I tell them about your videos and the 60+ FEET of snow there. Seems to lighten the load a bit, how do you lighten yours?

    All that honda does is push the snow to the side. Hopefully, there will be not much more snow this spring. Hopefully, all the heavy snowfalls
    are over for this winter and this huge melting will begin very soon.
    We need the spring melting beginning very soon. There is no where else to push, or pile all this snow.
