- A major 3 day #blizzard in #california is forecast to dump upwards of 10 feet of snow. On Thursday 2-29 #2024 extreme #wind caused white out conditions at times as blowing #snow. In this #video you will see what blizzard conditions look and sound like. Experience the plows, heavy snow, traffic, accidents and some people enjoying the snow from the major #atmospheric #river event.
The blizzard conditions will last into Saturday.

imagine all that equipment removing snow being powered by just batteries!! good luck with that!!! the batts would die in less than 2 hours if that
With all the wind they could install wind turbines on the roof and be just fine ...
😅
No. The winds and/or weight of the snow could knock them over.
@@DavidVanHelden1Lol. Maybe the self righteousness would power them.
Exactly.
Love looking at the video and remembering many years ago all the times my jeep with chains on all the wheels got stuck when I lived on the Mt.Rose Hwy at the base of the Sierras south of Reno. Note- Watching the video from my home now in Costa Rica 🌴😎🌴
I love nature. This is incredibly beautiful. The employees of the road are heroes too!
Beauty in appearance, horror in real life. Being stuck in a blizzard is imminent death within hours, if you cannot find a heat source. Not something you want to to be exploring alone without backup, or at night. Best watched on TH-cam. :)
Less than that, really. This storm is bringing gusts over 120MPH in some spots. Windchills at that level are low enough to give you frostbite in a few minutes.
It stakes a special kind of person to work for CalTrans or CHP on a normal day, much less along I-80 during winter storms like this. You know it's bad when even snow plows need chains, and It's very easy to see how the Donner Party ended up stranded here.
They are not heroes they are getting paid for a job
What heroes, they're just plowing snow. This is not a blizzard, it's just blowing snow. Come to Canada and see what we deal with you wussies.
Kinda like driving in the oilfields of n Dakota on the nite shift, but with lotsa snow. Nothing like doing 3 rail chains on all the axles to get your heart pumping. It's so cold, you just brush the snow off, and on the road again. Btw, gre up skiing squaw kt22
I can always count on this channel for the best weather footage. Hope everyone stays safe and the drivers from those trucks were okay.
Thank you!
Here comes all the fresh water from the snow melt. Mother nature is beautiful.
Simple pleasures...the guy at 5:20 has the right idea! Glad he made the cut lol 😄👍
Wow, looks like Norway! Great shots, thanks!
Thank you
Three day nlizzard even looks scary from North Dakota! Be safe folks!
Funny coming from ND!
Not if you live in this region, nothing funny about it. One day your jokes will not be funny.

Awesome, I love this type of weather. And the guy doing doughnuts @ around 5:25, just made my day 😅.
I've never done that before!! Lol. I can blame my dear Dad, for getting me started doing that, before I had a drivers license in Michigan!! Good practice for winter driving, with any vehicle, as it may save your behind one day. I encourage all new drivers to find an open parking lot and go play, so they won't panick when things start to get slippery. And oh, I've never tried it with an 18 wheeler either!! Peace out.
It's mesmerizing to watch. I love watching the snow (from afar, on my computer). Great channel!
Fabulous footage. Thank you & stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
This must have been filmed before 2013. Al Gore said there would be no more snow after 2013.
Bless these people for working in this mess, stay safe
Either Sacramento. Or go over Tehachapi . !
Can’t imagine sitting for hours on a highway not moving in a snow storm. Best to stay safe somewhere and wait it out.
Great pictures Wx chasers!
Thank you
@@WxChasing It’s cold!! There’s a standstill traffic jam in California
Among the best in the biz, enjoy that epic snow Brandon.
Thank you atinwoodsman!
Beautiful storm! ❄❄
Great weather coverage. Thanks
Thank you for watching
Welcome to Nevada and Placer Counties, CA, where this footage comes from! Former Nevada/Placer County resident (Nevada City and Auburn, CA) checking in and watching the weather from Twin Falls, Idaho, where we are currently getting the snow and wind from this event at 2:20 pm, Sunday, March 3rd.
Would NOT want to be anywhere on Hwy. 80 right now, but then I know better than to be out in this kind of weather (35 years there did the trick!)
Stay safe all!!
This is amazing footage
Thank you!
It's kind like a canadian blizzard ~ The ppl in the North of California it's going to have a wonderful late winter season until Spring kicks in - Stay safe!!!!!!
It's been a below normal snow year, so this brings us just to average.
This is NOT DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE folks . . . this happens quite often in the Sierras getting this much snow . . . I've seen pictures of snow so deep in the Sierras that the snow dept is almost up to where the chair lifts travel in spots . . .
It’s called winter.
I'm amazed that birds can survive this ! They must be buried in snow tunnels ! ? Wind chill factor has to be brutal.
Just some high winds, bad visibility, and some good snowfall. It’ll all be fine and beautiful by noon Monday😎.
Beautiful! Looks like winter! 🥶 ❄️🙂
Love the footage. Stay safe out there.
stay safe out there you guys are getting the snow that Buffalo usually gets again stay safe everyone
nice day for a little ski hike .. maybe he was low on chips & beer ??
Thanks for the great coverage. I have been in conditions like that a lot, but that wind looks especially intense.
Thanks Geoff!
Highway 395 in Oregon was having 75mph wind gusts on 2/29/24 while today was white out blizzards at times.
Drivers need to slow down because under all the snow is ice.
Wowee.. great footage, thank you. Saw the Donner Lake sign is North Lake Tahoe, Hwy 80.
Thank you!
Actually, Interstate 80.
I don't care what those people have to do...WHY did they go out in this???
People really love downhill skiing during the week.
Great Job again !
Thats a cool snow machine. The cab goes up a few feet. Pretty cool
The Shining!!!
good way to prevent fire season.
Fire drill
Man I wish I was there driving in that using my old 4X4, incredibly powerful storm. Thank you for the amazing video please keep ‘em coming…….
Whoa Nellie ,so very bad and creepy 😮😢
Those guys are hero’s, that storm is brutal.
good stuff...Thanks
Thanks!
Thank you @jefferywhite2272
Good ol march miracle
Good Luck. Stay safe.
Man, I sure hope that truck driver is okay.
where are the teslas?
Smart Governors and smart government highway officials order all vehicle traffic off the roads when they have excessive snow falls. That way the plow drivers can far more effectively do their jobs and it avoids unnecessary vehicle accidents, injuries and vehicle damage repairs. That smarter and safer approach also avoids having disabled vehicles on the roads and the need for tow trucks blocking the roads which can prevent snow plow drives from doing their jobs.
Yet the other states with snowfall get out and do their jobs to get traffic moving every winter ... There is a difference between doing your job and avoiding it ....
And who said California had smart leaders ? ...that was some funny stuff ..
It’s all for a good cause! This snow will fill the pools in Hollywieird come May!
This is crazy. I didn’t realize how powerful this storm is. I thought the storm a few weeks ago was worst. We had a lot of fallen trees in the bay.
Love it
California has snow plows? Wow.
California gots mountains.😊
Whoa 😳
Great channel. Be careful out there.
Thank you, I will!
Wow! That's crazy. Be safe out there.
One hellofa snowstorm!! 😵💫😱😳
Wow. It looks more like Siberia than Cali 😮
OMGNESS 😮
I love it! Dude out doing donuts!
looks cold. we didn’t get any nasty blizzards up in maine this year.
Hunker down and stay safe 🙏
Gotta love this global warming
I understand the Donner party after watching this.
I wonder how many of the snowplows were EV's.......
This is going to fill the reservoirs. Thank you, God.
Very Impressive, earns a subscription
Thank you!
Good luck
WOW !!!
Wow. Hope everyone is safe.
Donner pass. They generally get a lot of snow there.
Reno just 5 hrs away from Vages I'm surprised we're not getting more worse weather here in Laughlin Nevada
Our driver's don't show up on work if it just rain little bit . Your guys are working in very severe conditions . My name is Yankee from ORANGE COUNTY , CALIFORNIA
I just couldn't believe what the weather man said. Yikes!😂
Don't believe it. We aren't getting anywhere near 2 feet of snow let alone 5-10 feet. The storm fizzled out.
@bullettethebulldiva4875 it's Friday morning. There's still all of today and all of tomorrow...
I don't get why they're stopped, all the pictures of the cars and trucks on the highway, the roads are drivable but everyone is sitting? Are there sections that are drifted over?
Imagine the flooding when the snow melts.
🌊
Creepy dangerous yet beautiful too
Would give anything to be up there for this storm in a cabin with log fire and pizza and booze
Ok Brandon, you or Johnathan one gonna have to answer them there wheelie challenges😂
Beautiful
And it's just getting started.
My Lord! Terrible storm.
In Minnesota parlance, this is referred to as a "nut freezer".
Incredible footage. Something you'd see here in CT not Cali.
Thank you CosmoGirl!

Where's Algore and his hockey stick?
Not seeing too many electric cars there.
They are charging at the sky resorts.
Al Gore and AOC told us we would not see this anywhere by 2024. Always look at the messenger.
And they call us Canadians the great white north, Toronto has had 2 mini storms so far this winter
Mother Nature strikes back!
Pray for safety of every one.
Radicle dude!
@1:55 "hey! looks like a fine time to go cross country skiing"!
This could be my house every winter in Upstate New York when I still lived there.
Haha. My sister got up, got dressed, saw all the cars, went back in and called off from work. Why go nowhere? South of this but still immobilized.
This is pretty common for the sierra nevadas and Tahoe. It’s called WINTER.
Ive been backcountry skiing in a storm like this.
frightful!
These so called Professional Drivers who don’t put Chains in these weather conditions on are the worst Hazard on the road.
Oh God, we are all going to die from this wind and snow 😂
This is a typical snow day in Canada with high winds. Man you didn't even get much accumulation. Blizzard, not by a long shot, i know up in the California mountains they know what a good dumping of snow is compared to this mild dusting with this kind of wind speed. In Canada we will be outside drinking beers and BBQing.
😮😮😮🤞🤞🤞
You don't want to be caught in this weather with an electric vehicle.
@@p.s.9031 They can always dig it out next to mammoth fossils one day.
Ski resorts are even shutdown !,
This is a bad storm!😢
