Thanks, Mr. Tahoe, i think. I miss snow so much. Im from Maryland and as kids and older, we always played, walked through snow, bundled up in snow. Ate snow, got runny noses... I even really miss the soft sound of walking out our door and hearing not just crunching snow underfoot, but the air sounded different all through the almost silent neighborhood. I loved feeling like a Michelin Man all stuffed into a warm goose down coat with scarf, mittens. It's been over FORTY YEARS in San Francisco, and Mill Valley, just 3 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. I dont envy the work you, sir, and your neighbors will be doing to shovel out. Kudos for helping the neighbors dig out, and good on ya' for finding the energy to give your doggos a romp in the snow too. ❄️
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Don't ever wish staying in a place where there is heavy fall of snow because it is horrible, it kills animals and plants also but the most horrible thing is that you will be stocked indoors for day's because you can't go out and also you can't go to work or do anything and that can result to sells of properties to survive the period. Greetings from Miami where are you from
Thanks for the video..when it snowed here I put booties on my dogs paws to.prevent frostbite..might want to google and read about dogs paws and severe weather..Good luck!!
@@frankmorris4790 well, yes, there is a wrong way to use the dog booties too...I don't use them for short romps in the snow--but I don't leave the dogs out for too long. I"m just saying there's some good resources online for protecting paws in severe weather
Nice shots, wondering where you are...I was in Marla Bay, then Stagecoach, but looks like you're between stateline and the Y a bit south, couldn't really tell. So much snow! Happy digging.
In 2017 in Montgomery Estates, we were digging out daily. Didn't have the power outages that my friends in Truckee experienced. Commuting to work in Carnelian Bay was an adventure. 2023 looks like it has surpassed Snowmageddon 2017!
Beware of snow sliding off roof as things warm up. It can crush you with its weight. It happened to my cousin at Lake Tahoe 20 years ago, and she never recovered. She died at 60 because of taking pain pills for the rest of her life.
Truly Amazing amount of snow👏!! This is will be very good for Lake Mead, Lake Powell and the Hoover Hydroelectric Dam!!! Those have been really low. Hopefully when it melts it makes its way down there!!!
Some people that live in the mountains, they don’t have a clue about snow they just like the shade ratio during the summer. People don’t prepare for nothing.

Hello Susanna. I mean that this area has experienced much harsher events than this through its long history, and that if one is basically prepared and competent that everything will generally be FINE. But many who see this think it’s done drastic and perilous thing but it’s really not.

When you say "with the proper winter tires" - does it mean you (and others) are using at least some kind of winter tires or it means that even after THAT huge amount of snow this year some of you still using some stock NON-winter tires at all? Like some stupid all-season or even worse - super wide mud tires on trucks?
What do folks expect when they choose to live in the mountains…. One word…. Prepare ahead!!!! If you can’t prepare ahead you don’t need to live in the mountains.
This is not So Cal. All you say don't apply to the peopke live in the sierra nevada. They got much more snow than most of the 48 contiguos US and they know how to deal with the snow. Mammoth lakes, South lake tahoe and town along Donner pass
We are use to dealing with winter seems so cal people do not prepare for winter of we get heavy snow I clear my vehicle every 3 or 4 hours at 77 and 100 ,% DAV veterans you have to be preactice 8 shovel rather than 0ack snow it makes ice all wheel drives are not made for deep snow we have both 4x4 pu with chains good luck had my snow training in Korea army

@@susanaobeid6770 Well then I'll sl;ow down for ya Punkin. Southern California people once were westerners, birthplace of the cowboy an all.

Get it?
When things become this severe, the National Armory needs to send out personal with flame throwers. Not as a regular, but in cases this bad where it is horrible for elderly to dig out. AND unit against unit, I'm betting less pollution happens with flame throwers than plows constantly running. You don't have too go bare down to the street, but get the top of it so that if any more snow comes it won't make it as big of a hazard to get through. AND you'd have to spray it a super long time to get any shrub on fire, everything is so wet. If I lived there and I had one, I'd be melting as much as I could next to the house, so that when I had to get the snow off the roof, it had some place to fall to. Not all weapons have to stay weapons if there is some legitimate use for it. God knows there's probably a surplus of those, probably left over WWII stock.
Good question. Ultimately my company makes decisions everyday. This particular day they made it optional. Ultimately I knew this weather system was going to pass relatively quickly so I decided to head to work. I also have an AWD+ snow tires+ grew up in MN and am very used to driving on snow and ice but I understand your point for sure.

Lake Tahoe outflow via the Truckee only drains into Pyramid Lake in Nevada. That's where it stays until it evaporates.

What about using heated metal or heated cement tile roofs?❤❤
It has been an epic year in Utah also.
for sure!

I haven't seen one pickup with a snow blade on it YET. I'd have one if I lived up there just to help ME get around if nothing else.
that would be ideal
@@tahoemountainlife too much to push, you'd need a snow blower instead of a blade. We get snow every year, haven't seen ths much for a long time

for sure- many people are having leaks in their roofs currently
Breathtaking!
thanks
don't have a heart attack
I would snowmobile everywhere. I would love to see that much. Most I ever was in was four feet.
I need to buy a snowmobile
Someone wanted me to drive from San Francisco to South Lake Tahoe to pick them up and bring them back for $800. Way too risky with roads like this.
agreed
That's why lake Tahoe is there. It's been snowing like that for 10s of thousands of years
agreed
Rain will turn the snow on roof tops into sponges and double or triple the weight. A fast melt off would make a mess of it's own.
agreed
We have at the most 3 feet snow here in rochester ny
I left Potsdam a long time ago to avoid that snow and sitting in Huntington Beach, CA these days.
I MUST GO THERE RN
Roof clearing hack - Use a wire or rope. There are tons of videos about how to.
