People dig, plow and shovel out after a huge snow storm and blizzard in Truckee, CA.
I-80 remains closed.
Praying for the brave truckers who bring what most of us eat, wear, need.
Yup and there sitting there stuck
Thank you for your appreciation. Google map warned me of the blizzard a couple of days back while I was still in Iowa on I80 going west for CA. I travelled south to use I40 instead. An extra 600km of driving to be sure, but I am in CA now without seeing an inch of snow. Delivery on Monday.
Don't forget the railroads and railroaders. "Snow Fighting" has been part and parcel of this line since Southern Pacific days. Union Pacific carries on the tradition to this day, using Jordan Spreaders to move snow to the side of the tracks. In BIG storms like this, they will deploy the famous rotary plows - built in the 1920s and rebuilt and improved two or three times over the last century. Part of the track still runs through "Snow Sheds", structures covering the track at places where avalanches and heavy drifts have historically occurred. One shed even has fueling tanks inside to replenish locomotive tanks! There was also a turntable inside to turn steam locomotives, but it has been out of service for decades.
I imagine it would be neat to live there if one didn't have to leave the house to go to work.
It is fun to see the rail road using the snow blower. On the exposed line and tracks. That machine can really send that snow flying into the air.
The big snowblower plows are awesome they cut through feet of snow and leave a clear path.
You should see the ones on the front of trains. I saw them leaving Roseville heading up the hill
Not easily. With that much snow, they would go faster working in teams, with a loader taking off the top layer above the blower or plow's top input height to clear it to the road level.
I love a Winter Storm!!!!! It's just so serene and beautiful!!!! Thank You for all the people who work so very hard to keep up with the snow removal, God Bless You all!!!! ❄️❄️❄️.. 💪💪💪... 👏👏👏...
Me too!
All you chicks do because you dont have to move snow for 3 days afterwards.....
@@will7its I have a big ass snowblower that I use, and I shovel also... 👍👍👍..
@@cynthiasmith4130 Good for you, I shouldn't generalize......
@@will7its Thank You!!! 😊😊😊....
The blizzard isn't over, we're still expecting 3-5 feet by tomorrow. We shovel every few hours but that doesn't mean it's done. It just means we're less tired.
I feel bad for everyone 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Remember there is a difference in snow shovels. First, use the sturdy narrow one with the hand hold on the end to throw the snow on top down to about 5-6 inches. Then, use the wider curved shovel to push the last snow along down to the paved surface if possible.
There's a lot to be said for staying home.
And a hearty Amen to that!!😂😂
I'd encourage anyone to head on up! Everything's ok! You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!
Better safe than sorry🫣
Yeah, driving in this stuff may seem adventurous.... its really just a pain in the ass.
Are you kidding me? They are not going to stay at home. They live up there. They still do not know how to drive in it. And they still feel the need to get out and then complain because they're stuck on the side of the road somewhere.
Absolutely beautiful, when you are well stocked and prepared, and in a safe cozy home.👍🏼
Meanwhile… here in MN we’re watching our grass start to grow 😂
😮 Nobody cares
God bless all the emergency workers and snow removal workers! 🙏
Who's jobs are now Soo much more difficult due to the STUPIDITY of all these people who "had to go somewhere..."
@@waynetaylor8082 I agree!!!
Yes bless them too and bless them to even more because the amount of snow they have is not enough . Pineapple Express here we go. I think it'll work for them to be enough they need 300 inches😊 after that they're good😊 they're all set for the snow season
The Donner exit is buried in snow!! Where have I heard that name before?
For me, it's the Donner party that supposedly people ate people when they were stuck in Donner Pass, 100 + years ago.
@@mlsargent51 100 year storms are named such for a reason. Now they happen (in some locations) every 2-5 years.
I wonder what could have happened? It's almost like we could have predicted this. Oh wait, we did, didn't we?
Edit: On the bright side, at least the Colorado appears to have given you all a few more years to prepare. Spend that time well.
Mark me: If there is a warm storm after this storm, we're screwed.
I recall when this was normal, spent allot of time digging out cabins in my Youth!!!
Not a lot of snow and people already acting like it's a disaster.
Same here. What we used to call normal is now borderline national emergency....😂
@@rickmorgan8856 One time we wanted to go skiing and just to get to the cabin took 1 hour from road to cabin about 300 yards. lucky they put the snow shovels up a tree with ropes and 6 hours later we got into the front door and 1 hour later heat got on so 2 days of skiing turned into 1 day LOL and this was three robust athletic teenagers single story cabin with loft was almost covered and we did not think it was unusual at all wasnt our first rodeo!
Greetings from a Tiny Island in Maine USA. The lakes in Maine (that had frozen over) are all open now for the most part.
Time to put the docks in 😅
Keep doing what your doing, im a truck driver and got recommended this video. If i need to pass through this large area you cover. Ima head to mexico then swim back around. Thanks
I am sure most of the locals stay home unless they have too. It’s beautiful if you are warm and safe.
OK California, all this snow manage your water control. No excuse for not.
The "excuse" is that California is overpopulated _because of people from other states flocking there._
Notice no battery powered equipment
The snow tractors are amazing, wonder how the operators can find the actual roads w/o mowing over shops and houses. Brilliant to see this footage. Glad I stayed home !
Love it! That's water for all our pot crops!
Whohooo
Man does not live by pot alone. This watershed has much better uses.
Nice to see another fellow Koehler with the extra E. 👋🏻
At 1:25, parked postal vehicles brought to mind, "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds". Yeah, right. 😆
How re those electric snowplows working out? 😂
80% of cars sold in Norway are electric. It is cold in Norway. You are misinformed
Electric cars are less efficient in cold climates and that’s an undisputed fact by ALL manufacturers, so his comment has validity. In addition, implying that an 80% car sales of EV’s in Norway is evidence to dispute his statement is not really a good rebuttal since the drive behind the EV sales success has to do with the MASSIVE government subsidies and benefits set aside for buyers of EV’s. Without such allowances, the EV market was stagnant just like everywhere else in world.
@@johndanger8717 Paid for with huge taxes and oil sales to other countries...
Thinking the same thing, they are refueling those diesel rigs on the regular. And fortunately doesnt take much time, This work uses a LOT of energy quickly.
Electric diesel
I am retired in Virginia Beach, but after watching this I'm moving to Truckee! Actually was there in 1961 and never went back, but in July it was beautiful! Great video
The high sierras have the most beautiful weather in America in the summer months. It's just divine.
Out of all places, Truckee would not be the place to move to. I used to work on Donner Pass and it's freggin brutal up there. If you weren't born there, you shouldn't move there.
This was just heavy flurries. 6 feet in a day (June Lake) and 15 feet in 3 days is brutal. Ditch the Suburu before you show up. Get a real vehicle.
Summer in Tahoe is better in my opinion. Swimming, mountain biking, hiking. Winter can be overrun with tourists. Summer is still very busy but a little more chill.
Truckee often has the low temperature for the nation. The summer is choked with smoke from wildfires. Enjoy!
Look at that beautiful snow....we sure need it
i want rain
18 years ago I started being a Snowbird.. never going back
So now California won't have to complain about lack of water or wildfires for about 3 years. Mother nature is awesome
Man-O-Man I'd love to be there. I love the snow and wint4er,. Man look at all the glorious white stuff: Beautiful!! Here in Michigan I can count all the Big Snow seasons we've had in the past forty years on one hand. Instead we get cold, brown, wet winters with the occasional smattering of snow once or twice a year with three inches at best. I swear in the next life I'm being born either in the Rockies or Sierra Nevada's.
I’m doing early spring cleanup in Cleveland
"After" the massive blizzard? It's still snowing at a high rate, and the wind is still blowing. It's not over yet. The plows are just trying to keep up, and if they can't do that, at least make the roads easier to open up when it IS finally over.
man I wish we would get that much snow, it would be awesome
Yeah me too. I’d give anything for that.
Yeah ,untill you have to get out every few hours and shovel ,snow blow it . I'm sure you be singing the heat miser song in 6 hours.
@@josephmaxwell896 why would you waste time on that? leave it til it stops snowing, then move it... simple
@@LiLBitsDKwhen snow totals are Forcast to be 3 to 5 feet you don't wait until it's done snowing unless you want to spend 3 days of shoveling just to get out of the the house be my guest.
When it snows in the Sierra Nevada mountain the snow totals are forecasted in feet not inches.
I have been in the Sierra Nevada couple times during the winter and If you love snow this is the place to be and the snow storms else where in the country is like 2 minute snow shower.
Some locations snow is still on the ground mid June and other spots snow is on the ground all year long.
@@04u2cY3 days? lol... if you shovel it 10x + all the blow in snow that fills your already cleared areas it is still more times than if you clean it once with the snowblower
I bought lots of food and stayed home. Not a problem.
If you live in the area (you don't). You don't buy lots of food. You always have 3 weeks worth on hand.
@@Look_What_You_Did I just spend 7 days trapped in my house.
@@Look_What_You_Did Dont it make you LOL when a shut in makes up the stories they do.
All that water will come in handy in about three months!! Stay frosty, people.
We visited that area and the town of Truckee in July of 2011 my wife and I had so much fun and loved that entire area. We stayed in Tahoe. People were great I hope you all survive this. God bless.
Tahoe is great but it gets overrun by tourist unfortunately.
@@bfranco1519 You are commenting to a literal tourist. Cracka on cracka hate crime here...
Thats is several feet of snow ! You got a blizzard. Be safe. ❄
Now that's a snow
I feel as if i witnessed something that wasn't meant for my eyes as I read "not for broadcast" during the whole video🥶
@AmandaHugginkiss69 Me too! What happens now? Arrest? hahahaha
Here in Arkansas we complain if we get 2" of snow!
are those ev powered snow moving machines ?
I can guarantee you, they're not
Yup that a was tesla snow blower.
Now that’s funny right there!😂😂😂
@@danielbooker3508 the power it takes to run a large snow blower a battery would last about 30 minutes if that, but rest assured California will eventually insist they try it
@@Agislife1960 Oh i believe you!
Normal Truckee snow storm.
Yup. Then will be the land slides and floods when it decides to melt an entire season off in three days.
ha ha ... just another day in Truckee CA ... nothing unusual here .
Are the trains moving? The rotaties have to be busting ass!
No I don't think the amount of snow they have currently is enough they will need a lot more
that is a dangerous af place to be right now. too steep and narrow
Stay home and stay safe.
Makes me glad I live in Minnesota where it was 70 degrees today
Beautiful weather for dogs, but not for drivers 🙏 !
I heard on the news that they’re using plows to move the snow up there. I had to see it for myself. What do they think of next?
LOL..stay in your bunker!
Maybe a new Donner Pass train with snowblower video?
I saw it leaving Roseville 2 days ago
I Dig it
i wonder what folks are doing with their ev's dying in record time in that freezing cold weather with no electricity due to power outages, oh yeah, dying in their homes cause they cant even go out and warm up in their car for an hour hear and there
Truth!!! I have done that when we've lost power in the house.
Sitting here watching and wondering how electric vehicles would clear this much snow?
That’s really what you think about?
You don't care. You're the type to huff their own farts and write a review about it and still think anybody cared.
God is great and powerful Jesus Christ is Lord hallelujah
Madre mia
It's snowing hard, so that must mean... "GLOBAL WARMING"!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get it right. GLOW BALL WARMING
@@judyroth-tf9df LOL!!!! Yes!!! 🤣
What does local temperatures and weather have to do with global average temperatures?
Do you have to work hard to appear this stupid, or are you a natural?
we have a bit of snow not as much as last year though snow blowers are the best and only way
Ummmm its still snowing? You need to wait another day.
I'd absolutely wait for my priority mail. Look at what airlines do
Is this normal???🤔
You don't care.
being out in that mess is asking for problems.
Northstar should be fun. Heavenly might actually be fun.
Yes i think they got work cut out her,caltrans and uprr.😮
Doesn't seem like that much. I've seen them get much more. I feel like reno only got maybe half that.
California must have not done the necessary repentance
What I wouldn’t give for a snowstorm like that! The only thing I worry about is the wild and domesticated animals in harms way.
WHY, Please someone tell me WHY we are throwing the SNOW!! UP HILL!!!!!! Holy shit!!! So we are Literally ASKING for a landslide this spring hun!!!!!
Why don't you sit on your thumb and spin hun...
It ain't "after" yet...
Not somewhere I would ever live.
It's fun, but not for everyone.
Camione con agua bien caliente
I'll still never understand what poseses some people to go out in this kind of weather, nothing will be open you'll get stuck and might even die.
@Peter-pv8xx You can prep your car, and always have stuff in your car, like blanket, food, shovel, water, flashlights, and the right tires. It can be amazingly fun!
@@AhJodie Maybe so but just because you can doesn't mean you should.
You should have been in the middle of crestline ca last year to the day we had 6-8ft no help for 2 weeks trustee crews from chino walking thru the streets no shoveling no wellness check what a frkn joke to live in San Bernardino county
Fix this Gov. Newcomb! TRUMP 2024
lol of course a Subaru is out in the snow
But there’s only 12, 10, 8 yrs left to save the Planet from Boiling . It may Already be too late.
@guyh.4121 Thats why you move to cold places..... hahahahahaha!
Oh my, snow during the winter, has this ever happened before, the sky is falling right, what are we going to do, oh
Right ? It's CA. We get snow in the Sierra. In the 37 years I've lived here, there have been MANY blizzards. I have been in Tahoe when it hit. Too much snow to ski in.
People are ridiculous and the news sensationalizes everything .
It's a storm, Stay home!
@@loismiller7742 You'd think people would have realized by now that California gets more snow than any other state _by far._ It's not even close.
We get 2 inches of snow here in the mid Atlantic, and we end up with all day storm coverage. When I was a kid it took more than 2 inches to close schools and the state police to order everyone to go home and stay of the roads.
Odd … the other day I saw your “Climate Worrier” weather stations saying that snowfall/pack was significantly “Below Average”. (AVERAGE, Get It?)
NOW the same people are acting Shocked! SHOCKED!!! That they’re getting more snow and it comes in the form of a “Blizzard”!!!
I wonder if this new snow gets them up to “Average”?
ha ha ... "NOT FOR BROADCAST" ?? so let's go ahead and BROADCAST it, eh ???
Dude, the red tractor blowing snow, needs to learn how to operate his equipment better. Open the shoot, so it blows up higher and farther. Let’s strain on the engine and blower. And it will definitely shoot farther especially in wet heavy snow. Open the shoot all the way up. Don’t angle it down.
Wrong. But go ahead. Run that ignorant entitled mouth...
Gotta love Global warming.
Yup looks like that Global Warming thing to me lol 😂
Water mark kills the vid...
It kills losers from steeling their hard work.
One thing I don’t understand is why you are surprised when you see the wrath and punishment of a liar in the last times for the filth of the world. Mother Nature feels the anger and is the first to warm up, and this is not even the middle. The deceitful governor, seduced by the HARLOTS, who sits on the deceitful Dragon (Anti Cross - Vatican) and deceives from these lands, from these. Then the Lawyer will come, who is so angry at the filth of the world. And he is from the house of the Elder, the same ancient Lady Two-Faced, who has had legal rights since last year. Which must change the last bottom line, or the lying world will die together. And what is happening now is not even a small thing. The truth always takes a long time to gather, but it punishes the unwise herd, which does not hear simple words, very strongly. This time will be called the HARVEST OF THE LIARS. So, good luck to all of us.
Looks like Wisconsin on an average January day
Not even close. Wisconsin has never seen this much snow. In Wisconsin, 6" is a big storm. They are getting 12 feet.
Not a chance. Their snow pack will be 20' by the end of the season.
Only idiots go out in that without damn good reason.
That is a little harsh perhaps. Not like it is super cold, lots of snow for sure. They are doing their jobs and helping.
@timthompson8297 You have no idea how much fun it can be if you are prepared! Most people still have to go to work and other things. I was a nurse and had to get to work, if I didn't, someone else had to work a double.... that is not fun. If we couldn't get in, they would send someone out to get us!
@@AhJodie ya, when you live in snow country - snow is not an excuse.
@@slatsgrobneck7515 Thank you for your kindness! and wisdom!
@@AhJodie who says I don’t? Being confined to a tiny space for days isn’t fun.
The local DJ at the local Truckee radio station KTKE keeps encouraging everybody to get out and drive around go to all these events clog up the street what knucklehead he is!!!!!
Good, it's funny lol
Liar. There are no events, and the locals are not dumb.
how dare you people use diesel snow removal equipment in commiefornia ! use your govt issued tesla's instead make your dear leader proud
You can't even spell.
Who cares
It's cool... but you don't really understand just how much snow is coming down.
I meant to say, who cares about you democrats in California...@@Look_What_You_Did
thank you global warming. LOL
