I worked in the Oroville CHP office for about 10 years. We were practically neighbors! Thanks for the kind words and give us a holler if we can help you make that move.
Did you film this today Saturday? Yesterday Friday? Or Thursday? I know this wasn't Wednesday because I drove down Government and back up 95 for something and the road were much snowier than this. That's what you should have filmed. Let the Californians know what they're getting themselves in for. My husband and I currently share an SUV. I have proposed a car for the second vehicle, but we'd still have the SUV to share in weather like this. I would not make it out or back into my neighborhood in a car in this weather. I drove in many blizzards in my life growing up in Buffalo, but they plowed there. It was just the driveway I had to deal with.
Snow makes everything look pretty. Not going to lie at 3:38 it looked like you lost control when the camera swings to the left. Do they salt the roads at all there? It was a common practice back east where I grew up (PA). But never seen it done much on the west coast. I've been told they don't salt roads in California cause of the runoff would pollute the streams and lakes that are used as water supply. Not to mention it completely destroys your vehicle.
Sometimes, liquid salt, but mostly not. They also only plow main arterials or If you live in a subdivision most are under HOAs and you pay for the HOA to plow. We live in a very small old neighborhood and the side streets have not been plowed at all. I drive an AWD SUV with studded tires so I am fine, but you can't drive an actual car right now in this area.
Haha, no, maybe got a little squirrley on me.. They do salt here, and use gravel in some areas as well. That's why it's important to wash the underside of your car out here.
Toyota Highlander or similar. I say Highlander because we’ve had two of them up here and they’ve done great. Also would swap on some snow tires for the winter. We like Blizzak snow tires. They are pretty unstoppable.
Thank you for the sneak peak, keep up the good work! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Subbed and notifications on. Looking forward to seeing more like this
Thank you!
Great music !
Thanks!
Back in the 90's my brother and his wife lived there on Marie Avenue ..They worked at the Greyhound Dog Racing Park ......
Cool history, love it.
I love practicing donuts
And it has legitimate value...
Retired from Placer County Sheriff's Office living in Idaho City at the moment but looking at C.D.A. I enjoy your podcast!

This was great. Thank you. It’s our first season here and it’s definitely an education. It’s absolutely stunning here.
You're welcome!
Why are the windshield wipers sticking up on the other car in the driveway (6:44)?
Good question: people do that so they don't freeze to the windshield on cold nights

Thursday. Yeah, I remember the roads in NY being better maintained...

Thanks for the replies. Good to know.
Very conscious of the need to be safe and careful when driving in the snow but this got me so excited for our move!
Let's go!
if you could have any one car/truck/suv for a family here to handle the snow, what would you choose?

How much snow came down in priest lake Bonner county Idaho
They usually get quite a bit more than CDA. Not sure of exact amount
How does it feel to drive in the snow plus if it's 35 you should be driving what 20 to make sure you get home safe❤.
Exactly! It's not hard.
hope you do a drive like this in post falls someday.
I can do that!
Only Kommiefornians need to see your instructional video. LOL
There are shitty drivers wherever you go. I previously made a career based entirely on that fact. lol
