Thank you for going out to help your fellow Calgarians that dump of snow really made the side streets bad. Great time to use your 4x4 to help people. Cheers!
Nice to see other Taco owners having a ton of fun in the snow and helping out others! I live in Airdrie and I was out doing the same thing during that snowstorm. I had to test out my new BubbaRope and it worked amazing. I can't wait for the next snowstorm!
I forgot what year it was but 2 of my brothers and I worked at the same company and that day it snowed so hard. We were done with work at 10 p.m. and everyone was stuck in the parking lot. We helped most of the people pushing their cars, couple friends called and we went and help them. We helped random people on the road. Didn’t get home till 3a.m. Exhausted but love to help people out there.
Good on you for helping people out!! I live in LowerMainland BC, don’t get a lot of snow here but last winter we got a couple good dumps and the chaos on the roads was insane. People here aren’t used to or prepared for driving in the snow. The Taco performed flawlessly though, didn’t get stuck once and managed to pull out a couple stuck cars.
Oh man I bet when it snows there's it's so heavy and the moisture is crazy, so humid I guess haha! Thanks for commenting I appreciate it hope you're having a nice Holiday season and Christmas time!
@@jcsaucemoney Thanks so much for the kind wishes, and wishing you and your family the very best too in the New Year! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Awesome truck! About the snowstorm- we used to get alot of those here in Northeastern Bulgaria before. The worst I've been in was around 2000 when we were travelling to see my grandparents in another city (about 40 miles away, nothing spectacular). But the sheer ferocity of the weather scared me- the wind was pushing the car left and right, I couldn't see anything but the taillights of the car, which was about 10ft infront of us. Everything was white, no matter where you look- front, back, left, right it was all snow white. That was probably the only time when I was scared for my life because of the weather. By the way, those winds I was talking about, they come from Siberia since there are no geographical obstacles between Russia and Bulgaria- only the Black Sea.
As a retired City Coach Operator it warms my heart to see y'all be able to help those city buses. In my transit we wouldn't have been allowed to let y'all help us out as it would be deemed a "liability" for the transit bus company. Many times I was stuck for hours including the winter of 2008 where I was stuck (at the end of my shift) for 5 and 1/2 hours before our big tandem axel tow truck finally came around to rescue. But, hey on the bright side I was getting paid by the hour and over time is always good! =)
Outstanding video buddy! Tacomas are frickin awesome! Im 17 and live in Manitoba so ive seen quite a few beastly storms here. The worst I can remember was Christmas 2016 huge snow fall and even bigger drifts at least 3 feet in some places. I remember driving with my dad who had a FWD Ford Taurus at the time, we got to the through street that leaves my neighbourhood and that street happens to be right along a huge field so the snow from the field had blown and submerged a chunk of the road in a drift probably about 3-4 feet. The Taurus couldnt get through but luckily an F-250 behind us went ahead and made some good tracks and we got through. My dad remembers storms much worse then even that. Back in 2017 he traded the 2WD Taurus for a 4x4 F-150 and he’s not gotten stuck anywhere since then. Anyway great video bud
that's so awesome with the Taurus buddy and damn lucky with the F250 haha, thing must be huge! Thx for commenting man I really appreciate it hope you're having a nice Christmas time
This was amazing! Its good to know there are still great people around! Just subscribed. Also just ordered a 2021 Tacoma TRD off road with access cab and manual tranny in cement grey :) can’t wait to see it:) Thanks so much for the video
“Worst snow” is hard because in Colorado there are places where the road is often covered in multiple feet of snow, but the worst storm I saw was in 07 or 09. I was at my grandmas house near Estes park and we were trapped in the house for a few days. Rescued by a f250 with chains and a plow
I was heading down a mountain at sunset when I noticed a lifted Silverado on the side of the road hill facing uphill just spinning his tires going further into the bank. Turns out he had bald mud terrains and he only had 2 wheel drive. I was afraid to have him go downhill because it was going to be iced over, and he was planning on going to the mountain for the weekend with his family. So I took my strap to his front end, and hauled him up the hill (about 30 minute drive), his road needed to get to his cabin was blocked off from the snow plows. I had a pretty big bumper, so stopped him, and pushed through the embankment, and then plowed a road through to his cabin in about 3 feet of snow. Ripped him right to his cabin, told him do not drive 😂 On my way down the road, anold man had cords on his f150 and burnt them off from spinning his tires so much just to trying to get up ice. I pulled him to flat ground, then plowed his uphill driveway. Told him to floor it and get into his garage. Got him to the garage, and I’ve never seen someone so grateful. Helping in snow is always fun. Getting people out of pinches makes me feel worthy.
2 years ago , in Ottawa, started with about 5-10mm of freezing rain and finished off with roughly 30 CM snow. Even after making it through the snow you were left with a sheet of ice under it
Damn!! Yup that’s where it’ll get ya when it freeze over and then snows holy crap man!! I feel like I’ve heard of Ottawa having some real bad storms like that over the past years !!
I lived in Anchorage Alaska from 1980-2003. Many snowfalls like the one you experienced. Advice... weigh down your bed with sand bags. As for tires you want pliable before you want studs, but both works even better. Nice pliable tires will stay at operating temps rather than freezing up like regular tires. As for a one day haul of snow it was 22 inches in 2001 or 2002 in Anchorage.
Worst snow storm...about 1993 going over the California Sierra pass to Lake Tahoe. I was about 9 years old. Dad was driving a 1980's dodge family van on stock tires with chains in total whiteout conditions at night. We couldn't see a cliff edge on a turn and slightly skidded off the side. Without the chains, I'm positive we would have gone off the edge and probably died...no joke. One of the scariest moments of my life!
Calgary is awesome. I was there for 2021 Christmas 🎄. Banff had plenty of snow. The best snow ❄I've experienced so far was in northern Maine - New Brunswick/Quebec. Nice video and nice work 👍
Love your video, the Tacoma is great in snow. I am from Vancouver BC and about 4 years ago we got around 7-8 inches of snow. My Tacoma with KO2 preformed fantastic. I didn’t get stuck at all.
citizens, please don't take it for granted when someone does help, and don't get angry when someone doesn't. when im out plowing after a storm, my 12 hour route will now be an 18 hour route at best probably more. my route covers 30 miles in town. it's not that i don't want to help you when your stuck, but its that i can't. apartment buildings with 20-100 people are waiting to get the service they pay for. if i stopped and helped everyone who needed it, i'd never my route finished.
Awesome guys! Nice story telling btw! Worst snow storm was in 2015 in Gatineau/Ottawa. It snowed 50cm in the morning! Got stuck for an hour in my workplace parking lot trying to get out just for lunch... after work was supposed to go train but got stuck in my parking lot just trying to park and helping my neighbour as well... first ever being stuck here in canada since living here... made my ming on having a 4x4...never drove a 2 wheel drive after that... wish u guus where there to pull me!
I've been trying to find a video that best describe the kind of snowstorm we have in Quebec for my French friends... it's funny to compare with their "city paralized by the 1 cm of snow" news !
Indianapolis blizzard of 78. I was doing the same thing as you. Driving nurses back and forth to hospitals ect. Funny thing is I had a 2wheel drive pickup! Fearless back then😄😄PS: I did have some massive mud and snows on back.
The winter of 2O17... In Yardley Pa... Then i had a 2OOO Honda Crv... Let me tell you... That little bad boy was a beast... Had a few upgrades... I also loved pulling people out and helping... My wife is a nurse and she went around and picked up a few nurses for work... Love Your Videos And Your Truck Is Bad Ass... #YouRock #RandomActsOfKindness #HondaHead #YesWeCan #StaySafe 🇨🇦🇺🇸💪🏿😎😉💯👀
Fairbanks AK. It wasn't the snow that was the issue. It's hit -68°F without wind-chill. Only diesels were running. They weren't turned off, just refueled.
The most fun ("worst") storm I've been through was about 44 inches in 24 hours in Terrace, but that storm lasted about 2 to 3 days in total and more had accumulated. A foot of snow in a storm is common there.
@@SpencerHogg Yeah, I remember it well. It actually shut the city down for a couple of days. The day before, Wednesday, the perpetual precipitation the north coast gets in winter turned into freezing rain. We had a field trip to the ski hill and it was so icy, the vehicle I was in stopped in the middle of the highway to chain up. Then they didn't open the hill because they already had 1.5 m of fresh power at the base and 2.5 m of fresh powder at the top, and it was too much of an avalanche risk before grooming. But we couldn't go back home because a minor avalanche blocked the highway, which took the crews a few hours to clear (it was maybe 3 m high on the mountain side of the highway). School got cancelled for the rest of the week. The following day, Thursday, is when it really started to come down. My mom was delivering home oxygen to people, and so I went with her. We got stuck in her sedan several times, as we got high centered followed snow ruts on the road. It was kind of a heavy, compactable snow in the morning, but around noon turned into the lightest powder I've ever experienced: I'm talking two feet of powder so light you could easily walk through it. But on Friday, the weather did the typical north coast thing and turned into rain, shrinking the snow and making it super heavy. Everything was back to normal by Monday. So I laugh when Toronto calls in the army, or when Vancouver talks about a snow storm and it's only three soggy inches.
Worst snow storm, ice fishing on lake Winnipeg back in 2016, did not look at the weather it was blowing 70km/hr with what looked like 40cm of snow, I was approximately 10km from shore, fun times, took about 10hr to shovel myself out with a convoy of trucks. I bought myself a taco after that, and learned to look that the weather app.
Live at 10,000 ft at eagle point utah. Usually we get dumps of 16" to 24", but a few times a year we get 48" plus in 24 hours. Still rocking the 2003 tacoma with lockers and 255-85-16 yokohama G015 tires. 3 peak snowflake all terrain I guess. If it gets bad, I put on chains a few times a year. Also keep around 300 lbs between the wheel wells in the winter. The old little Toyota gets me there and back.
worst snow storm 2010 driving to Big Bear Lake in California and a Blizzard came in! I couldn't see sht and in a 2wd Tahoe so we pulled over and was wtf now just wait it out? sat there for 15 minutes and I see lights flashing! her comes the snow plow clearing the highway! I followed that for about 10 miles up the mountain to the spot 😇
Rescue mission? I saw you drive around in the snow talking about it, but did not see anyone but your buddy actually help a stranded car. Looked like a fun afternoon with a noble title.
This video is really just focused on my after-thoughts and considerations from the day that we were out helping others out. I was not trying to stuff a camera in anyone's face while helping them, that wasn't the intention behind this... If you want some first hand experience to see cars actually stuck then I hope this inspires you to go outside and actively seek ways you can help and contribute in your own community. ~ Cheers!
Red deer had several bad snow storms in the last few years but this is the second year of owning my jeep grand cherokee and had helped many people on the lakes and ditches from being stuck
Owego, NY...we just had a couple of weeks ago a huge snow dump, about 4ft...I drive a FJ cruiser which is a very good in the snow vehicle. I will be investing in recovery equipment for future storms
Worse I had was 12/16/20 when Winter Storm Gail came through and dropped 36-38" of snow on us here in Binghamton NY. I was working that night until 3am and had to drive my WRX with all seasons home. Was originally hoping to have some fun in the snow but ended up getting stuck dropping a friend off near their house around 5AM and then spending the night. Didn't get home until 2pm the following day with most streets including my own not being plowed.
Winter camping one year it snowed 24" in 30 hours. That was on top of the 8 feet that was already on the ground. Insane to think we all made it out with very little trouble. There is something to be said about AT tires at 5psi giving us the traction needed to get around.
I drove from MOAB to Los Angeles. The storm was so bad that literally every turn on the highway had at least 1 flipped/rolled semi truck off the sides. It was gnarly. Sand storms are pretty wild too
Lived in Lake Arrowhead California and Running Springs all my life. We get some pretty crazy snow up here sometimes. We recently had a storm drop 4 feet on Thanksgiving.
Winnipeg, biggest snow storm in my lifetime was the blizzard of 1997, we got in early spring, i was 10 and remember walking to school the next day. It lead to a fast melt which caused the flood of the century winnipeg was spared thanks to our floodway system that diverts water around winnipeg. Love the Canada flag decal, where did you get it?
Around 6 feet of snow I think in 1994 outside of syracuse ny. My dad owns a sand/gravel company so we were digging out the town/roads for 48 straight hours in front end loaders
Hey there! So I have two answers: 1) I live just outside of Chicago IL, and the worst snowstorm I've been in was in 2011 (look up pictures, chicago blizzard 2011). 2) This other one happened when I was working in South Central Missouri. We had an ice storm come through and I got stuck out in the country about 30 miles away from home. It made almost every driveable surface into a sheet of ice.
About 2 years ago my brother and I used our F250s to pull out my niece's husband in his semi fully loaded with steel coils here in Northeast Ohio. He came home and parked for the night where he usually does, unfortunately the lot was covered with over 2 feet of snow and mud underneath and the right side just just sunk right in. I'm very wary of who I help in situations like this anymore though, especially if they have no tow points.
I lived in Edmonton for 4.5 years and Calgary for 6 months... never found people stuck that often compared to my regular life here in the GVRD... Vancouver people just can't drive in the snow! I spent many years helping folks out... now I do so oh so sparingly... Too many people with bald summer tires who will put you and your vehicle at risk when you tug them out on that slushy yet icy vancouver snow!
So the worst winter storm I've been in was probably winter 2006-2008 somewhere in there, driving from Calgary to Vernon to Vancouver. We did the pass and coquihalla and I'm pretty sure we should have died but AWD and munchy tires save the day every time. Great video!
Worst storm here in massachusetts I remember was a April fool's day storm where we got a couple of feet. It really sucked because everyone had out away there plows and snow removal equipment and was just over not a fun time lol. Love the content keep it up! You just got a subscriber
What was the snow accumulations you were driving through because that Tacoma was eating the snow like it was nothing. Also what type of towing strap do you recommend using as I would like to keep one in my Tundra.
Thanks buddy!! Oh man 70cm in Quebec! It's actually crazy how much snow we sometimes get. Most winters aren't too bad in Canada but then you get some every couple years where it's just an insane amount! Something tells me this ain't the last of it for us here..
I loved the vid man. I’m from nc. I just got a truck and I’m hoping I can help some people out this winter if they we get some pretty good snow. Keep up the awesome vids.
2 years ago driving up hwy 63 going home when I was living in fort mac and I could only see 3 feet in front of me and everyone was hitting the ditch and plow trucks were getting stuck
I live in Finland near North Pole and we have a lot of snow basically everybody who has a snowmobile uses it to go to work ect And in Helsinki we allmost have 20 inches of snow (50cm)
Great job man! Good storytelling and voiceover work! Also thanks for the shoutout haha
Thanks so much buddy
When you pulling some one out of a ditch or got stock. Did you use 4L or 4H?
The best feeling is when you help someone you don’t know out.
I agree 100 percent but if you can spend the coin get a winch. Lot easier on your truck 👍👍👍
We did a snow rescue/recovery as well and were more than happy to help the person. We need more people willing to do things like this. Good on you !

I lived in Anchorage Alaska from 1980-2003. Many snowfalls like the one you experienced. Advice... weigh down your bed with sand bags. As for tires you want pliable before you want studs, but both works even better. Nice pliable tires will stay at operating temps rather than freezing up like regular tires. As for a one day haul of snow it was 22 inches in 2001 or 2002 in Anchorage.
Worst snow storm...about 1993 going over the California Sierra pass to Lake Tahoe. I was about 9 years old. Dad was driving a 1980's dodge family van on stock tires with chains in total whiteout conditions at night. We couldn't see a cliff edge on a turn and slightly skidded off the side. Without the chains, I'm positive we would have gone off the edge and probably died...no joke. One of the scariest moments of my life!

4runners and tacomas swimming in the snow. Hit that Atrac and its unstoppable. 😎

It was kind of a heavy, compactable snow in the morning, but around noon turned into the lightest powder I've ever experienced: I'm talking two feet of powder so light you could easily walk through it.
But on Friday, the weather did the typical north coast thing and turned into rain, shrinking the snow and making it super heavy. Everything was back to normal by Monday.
So I laugh when Toronto calls in the army, or when Vancouver talks about a snow storm and it's only three soggy inches.
I was young in Virginia, 3 feet. We called it snowmageddon. The biggest I can remember was last year in wv, we got a good 8 inches.
Great job mate! ... kind hearted people!
Thank you, I really appreciate the comment!
Worst snow storm, ice fishing on lake Winnipeg back in 2016, did not look at the weather it was blowing 70km/hr with what looked like 40cm of snow, I was approximately 10km from shore, fun times, took about 10hr to shovel myself out with a convoy of trucks. I bought myself a taco after that, and learned to look that the weather app.
I did this last year. It feels sooo good helping others lol
Live at 10,000 ft at eagle point utah.
Usually we get dumps of 16" to 24", but a few times a year we get 48" plus in 24 hours. Still rocking the 2003 tacoma with lockers and 255-85-16 yokohama G015 tires. 3 peak snowflake all terrain I guess.
If it gets bad, I put on chains a few times a year. Also keep around 300 lbs between the wheel wells in the winter. The old little Toyota gets me there and back.
Detroit Michigan , one time we got 9 inches of snow within a hour everybody was stuck we didn’t expect it to come down so fast
worst snow storm 2010 driving to Big Bear Lake in California and a Blizzard came in! I couldn't see sht and in a 2wd Tahoe so we pulled over and was wtf now just wait it out? sat there for 15 minutes and I see lights flashing! her comes the snow plow clearing the highway! I followed that for about 10 miles up the mountain to the spot 😇
Rescue mission? I saw you drive around in the snow talking about it, but did not see anyone but your buddy actually help a stranded car. Looked like a fun afternoon with a noble title.
This video is really just focused on my after-thoughts and considerations from the day that we were out helping others out. I was not trying to stuff a camera in anyone's face while helping them, that wasn't the intention behind this... If you want some first hand experience to see cars actually stuck then I hope this inspires you to go outside and actively seek ways you can help and contribute in your own community. ~ Cheers!
@@SpencerHogg then title it accordingly instead of click bait.
@@danwood4478 what should I title it to please your opinion??
@@SpencerHogg "Cruising the Canadian storm storm! Rocking in my taco!" That would be more accurate.
So awesome of you to go out and help.
Red deer had several bad snow storms in the last few years but this is the second year of owning my jeep grand cherokee and had helped many people on the lakes and ditches from being stuck
Nice dude, Red Deer man that seems to be like the middle ground for all the storms haha, you guys get the worst!
@@SpencerHogg oh man, it's always the worst but this year, I wished we got your snow storm then you guys did
Good to hear your feedback on ATX’s; they seem to get great reviews in snow, but they are still all-terrains like you said.
Dude, you’re awesome ! Gonna be doing this once my rig is well equipped
Great video,super inspiring and awesome to see you outside helping other out like that ! 🙌
Owego, NY...we just had a couple of weeks ago a huge snow dump, about 4ft...I drive a FJ cruiser which is a very good in the snow vehicle. I will be investing in recovery equipment for future storms
I love snowfalls like this, we also do the same thing in Winnipeg!
And so far in this video all Toyota! NICE
Awesome work man, love the truck!
Thanks a lot dude !
Had a blast in the wife’s awd sienna, kept the forester tucked in the garage lol. Great video spencer.
So awesome buddy and thank you !
Good for you helping out. Love your setup. Been thinking here lately that I might go with 265’s myself
Loving the 265's so far!! They've been doing pretty good!
this video is amazing. Tacoma FTW!!!
Worse I had was 12/16/20 when Winter Storm Gail came through and dropped 36-38" of snow on us here in Binghamton NY. I was working that night until 3am and had to drive my WRX with all seasons home. Was originally hoping to have some fun in the snow but ended up getting stuck dropping a friend off near their house around 5AM and then spending the night. Didn't get home until 2pm the following day with most streets including my own not being plowed.
Winter camping one year it snowed 24" in 30 hours. That was on top of the 8 feet that was already on the ground. Insane to think we all made it out with very little trouble. There is something to be said about AT tires at 5psi giving us the traction needed to get around.
This is the fun part of winter.
I drove from MOAB to Los Angeles. The storm was so bad that literally every turn on the highway had at least 1 flipped/rolled semi truck off the sides. It was gnarly. Sand storms are pretty wild too
that sounds crazy
Lived in Lake Arrowhead California and Running Springs all my life. We get some pretty crazy snow up here sometimes. We recently had a storm drop 4 feet on Thanksgiving.
4 feet sounds like fun haha!!! Thanks for checking out my video, and I really appreciate the comment!! 🍻😂
@@SpencerHogg No problem you have great content keep up the good work!
Man. When I move to a snow area this is what Im going to be doing.
Winnipeg, biggest snow storm in my lifetime was the blizzard of 1997, we got in early spring, i was 10 and remember walking to school the next day. It lead to a fast melt which caused the flood of the century winnipeg was spared thanks to our floodway system that diverts water around winnipeg.
Love the Canada flag decal, where did you get it?
True Canadian spirit.
Around 6 feet of snow I think in 1994 outside of syracuse ny. My dad owns a sand/gravel company so we were digging out the town/roads for 48 straight hours in front end loaders
Hey there!
So I have two answers:
1) I live just outside of Chicago IL, and the worst snowstorm I've been in was in 2011 (look up pictures, chicago blizzard 2011).
2) This other one happened when I was working in South Central Missouri. We had an ice storm come through and I got stuck out in the country about 30 miles away from home. It made almost every driveable surface into a sheet of ice.
Damn that 2011 blizzard looks insane!! It's crazy to realize how bad winter storms can actually be... this ain't as bad in comparison!!
@@SpencerHogg lol it was wild. It came down so fast. We made some killer snow forts that day.
With that amount of snow I use chains and regular car becomes unstoppable.
Nice!!!
About 2 years ago my brother and I used our F250s to pull out my niece's husband in his semi fully loaded with steel coils here in Northeast Ohio. He came home and parked for the night where he usually does, unfortunately the lot was covered with over 2 feet of snow and mud underneath and the right side just just sunk right in. I'm very wary of who I help in situations like this anymore though, especially if they have no tow points.
I lived in Edmonton for 4.5 years and Calgary for 6 months... never found people stuck that often compared to my regular life here in the GVRD... Vancouver people just can't drive in the snow!
I spent many years helping folks out... now I do so oh so sparingly... Too many people with bald summer tires who will put you and your vehicle at risk when you tug them out on that slushy yet icy vancouver snow!
From warminster, worst snow storm was a few years back 3-3.5 feet of snow. Greatest day ever
Haha probably such a blast to drive around eh! Do you have a Tacoma?
In terms of big snowfall, the mountains in California just got around nine feet in three days! The roads were interesting to say the least...
My dude, your video editing and voiceover is on f*cking point!
So the worst winter storm I've been in was probably winter 2006-2008 somewhere in there, driving from Calgary to Vernon to Vancouver. We did the pass and coquihalla and I'm pretty sure we should have died but AWD and munchy tires save the day every time. Great video!
Oh wow that sounds crazy! Driving thru the mountains here during a big storm is so scary
HELL YEAHHHH INSANE!! Makes Tacoma’s look even better!
Haha hell ya buddy
Worst storm here in massachusetts I remember was a April fool's day storm where we got a couple of feet. It really sucked because everyone had out away there plows and snow removal equipment and was just over not a fun time lol. Love the content keep it up! You just got a subscriber
Damn that sounds crazy / but also a funny April Fool's joke haha..
Right now in Payson Arizona been stuck in a snow storm for 2 days straight, I live in Phoenix. So I’m new to all this.
Safe driving ~ You got a Tacoma?
Studded tires are not legal everywhere. So the next best thing is a nordic winter tire like a Nokian Hakkapeliitta or the Michelin X Ice.
20 years ago we had an epic winter here in Slc utah... great video by the way!
What was the snow accumulations you were driving through because that Tacoma was eating the snow like it was nothing. Also what type of towing strap do you recommend using as I would like to keep one in my Tundra.
very inspiring Man!
Tacoma is such a nice looking little truck. I’d love one.
It's pretty badass I'll admit hahaha
That Tacoma look so good! Worst was maybe 70cm snow storm and I live near Quebec city in Canada
Thanks buddy!! Oh man 70cm in Quebec! It's actually crazy how much snow we sometimes get. Most winters aren't too bad in Canada but then you get some every couple years where it's just an insane amount! Something tells me this ain't the last of it for us here..
@@SpencerHogg yeah its crazy sometimes but for the most part its not too bad :P
I loved the vid man. I’m from nc. I just got a truck and I’m hoping I can help some people out this winter if they we get some pretty good snow. Keep up the awesome vids.
Thank you!!
2 years ago driving up hwy 63 going home when I was living in fort mac and I could only see 3 feet in front of me and everyone was hitting the ditch and plow trucks were getting stuck
Man the fog is the worst especially in winter too (and blowing snow..)
I live in Finland near North Pole and we have a lot of snow basically everybody who has a snowmobile uses it to go to work ect
And in Helsinki we allmost have 20 inches of snow (50cm)
