    Griff, great videos and nice to see your face. I would be interested in a video going over your equipment: what you have, how it’s setup, and how you got involved in plowing. Looks like there’s a little more snow in the forecast for this weekend/week and then hopefully you are done…and we can enjoy spring in the Sierras!

    A friend of mine is in South Lake Tahoe and she recently paid $2,000 to have the snow pulled off her roof. Of course, while the guys were working on the third day of it, it was snowing again, so more snow on the roof. She works at the ski resorts in the area and not too surprising the chair lift chairs are snowed in (well they were last week, don't know about now).

      Once the sun stays consistent and starts getting the earth heated so it’s not so far below freezing every night that stuff melts faster then u think. If the weather stays as forecasted it will mostly be gone in 3-4 weeks.

    • @Mrbfgray

      True that if every precip season was like this glaciers would indeed begin to grow again in many Sierra locations, not just anywhere but at higher altitudes (mostly) than this, on North facing slopes and more shaded canyons. Snow shown here will melt off by early to mid summer anyway.
      Not melting entirely before next snow season is the definition of glacier growth. There is only one left in the Sierras and it's not large.

    I am really impressed with your 938G, I'm guessing it has the electronic traction control?
    I've spent a fair time plowing in a loader, and there's no way I could ramp and stack MN snow the way that thing climbs.
    When I watched your earlier vids, I was thinking that blade looked like overkill but could be wider.... now I see the logic in CA snow equipment.

    • @griffgranger
      @griffgranger  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Our 938G does not have any sort of traction control. No lockers in either axle either. The warmer climate here allows the snow to pack well enough for the ramps to support the loader. Surprisingly good traction on the ramps

    I love how humans have been living the same way for a long time. During covid we polluted less then ever but somehow the weather is changing more drastically then ever. I don’t see why people don’t understand weather doesn’t just change like this so fast by itself. Humans are polluting less yet weather getting worse 🤔 makes a person with common sense think hey they have to be doing something to the weather because it does not work like this. Snow one day 60 the next 20 the next 50 the next weather just does not work that way. Obviously all these lines in the skies behind jets that slowly spread to look like clouds have to be 100% normal even though they were never there my entire life up until 5-10 years ago . Obviously this weird snow that comes sometimes that is melting odd clumping weird and leaving stains on shit is normal . People are so quick to go with the narrative and not think for themselves. Or at least question. Is it fear that the unthinkable could be true? Is it your afraid of being labeled a tin hat wearing conspiracy theorist? What is it because people need to figure shit out or we are fcked and lots of people will have to find out the hard way. until we unite and stand up together for our great nation the bullshit lies and manipulation will never stop.
