Left Running Springs (California entirely) 13 yrs ago. I didn’t miss the fires, the bark beetles, the snow or digging my car out at 3 am to head down to work. Seeing this makes me a bit homesick though. I wouldn’t mind having a cabin for vacations.
Hey Twinzma. Running Springs is a very beautiful area and yes the fires can get absolutely terrifying. You definitely left California at the right time right before it started getting and turning into a place I just don’t recognize from growing up here I love the topography always have and always will. That’s never gonna change but you’re lucky you got out. I’m in Big Bear because it’s my favorite place in Southern California. I’m from Newport Beach. I love Newport Beach as well but I rarely leave the mountain. It’s just too depressing when I drive down the mountain but that feeling I get driving up the mountain once I hit about 4000 feet elevation is just like I’m driving into Heaven. Just peace and serenity overwhelm me. I appreciate your comment. I’m glad I can bring some nostalgia into your heart and I hope the New Year’s treating you well so far. Take care my friend.
Brings back so many memories. I grew up in Big Bear Lake, CA. Graduated from Big Bear High, Class of 1993. Lived on Juniper Drive. I have no family left in Big Bear because they all moved away. I left California years ago.
Hey Mateo. I appreciate you sharing that with me I’m really really glad to hear from you my friend and I’m glad I can bring back some memories and nostalgia into your life. I love when I’m able to provide that. I hope you’re doing well. I hope you’re enjoying other states. if I didn’t have my heels dug in so deep here I’d be probably somewhere else I wish I could take the town of big bear wherever I move. Lol.
Hi Jael. Well, thank you my friend I’ll never ever get used to the fact that people from across the world are my friends watching this channel. I’m very thankful to have you here. Thanks again for the support always my friend.
It is absolutely my pleasure to bring this to everybody. I grew up in Newport Beach and I would always wonder what it’s like up here after a storm and during the storm so now I get to bring this to everybody who’s interested and it makes me so happy.
Haha. What’s up HH. And whenever I see your comment, I automatically get excited so thank you and it’s good to hear from you. How have you been my friend? It’s been a minute again it’s really nice to hear from you and thank you for liking all the videos I’m telling you what it helps me so much more than people think especially right when the video is uploaded the more people that hit like right at the beginning, it triggers UA-cam ‘s algorithm to push the video further and I really appreciate you doing that for me and again it’s really good to hear from you
Hey Anthony, you are right about that and it wasn’t a completely selfish, praying either because the more snow we have it helps everybody up here when it comes to business owners
Hey Kelsey. And I was telling everyone he was in the center but yeah you’re right he was born on my side of the lane not just in the center but further over. I just don’t understand maybe it’s because the air is so thin up here, there’s less oxygen I don’t know.
My mind only read the words hard, fast and deep. I think this is due to the fact I possess the mind of a child. Glad you got your wish for snow! Indeed a very Happy New Year!
Do we have to go sooooooo fast??!! I'm getting car sick. 😴 🤒🤒 just kidding. I love taking drives with you!! Those goggles are totally cool. Be careful my friend. ♥
You know what I know sometimes even when I’m driving what I consider safe for the conditions I know it can still be a little bit too fast and I think one of the reasons why I don’t slow down even more as I said, I know for my driving skills I’m driving safe for the conditions which is always a lot less than the speed limit but the reason why I don’t go any slower is because I want you guys to see the video right away so I’m trying to get back to get the video uploaded And shown to my family here But I agree with you I know you said you were joking, but I kind of agree with that statement lol
It’s your buddy Anderson Silva , Awesome video bro, wish was up there with you, snow looks so beautiful, my kids love watching you, even the grand parents, we really enjoy your channel, every year it’s like watching its a wonderful life, thanks so much for the time and effort you spend. God Bless
My favorite fighter lol it’s good to hear from you Anderson and thank you for the kind words. It’s really nice that your family enjoys what I do. It makes me really happy. I mean it really makes me very happy. I can’t believe the whole family watches. It’s just such a joy and a pleasure to do this for you guys. Please tell each and every every single one of them I said hello.
Sup desert I’m telling you when I first did it the first few times maybe even the first year or two it was pretty darn scary and I was still driving back then like an idiot so I got very lucky back then
@@nutti2you380 I saw message earlier. The comment was messed up she said because the tv in background caught the microphone hahahaha. I was wondering what are you talking about my beautiful wife hahahaha
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 hahaha. The part about check the fridge! Thought maybe she left you some delicious lunch or dinner! I rarely use voice for that reason. The tv can confuse it!
Will I’m on the other line chatting with my buddy who’s doing the merchandise and stuff like that and I told him I need a little bit of rest here. I need a good hour or an hour and a half nap and it’s really hard during the day because my other job is constantly going to, so I’m gonna really try and close my eyes and hopefully my phone doesn’t ring for a good hour at least thanks for caring my brother.
Thank you everything I’m loving it so much. We got a lot more snow than I expected. Especially in the second half of this video. It got really heavy at times.
Hey there Dottie. Are you kidding me my friend it is such a pleasure to do this for you guys. Thank you for showing me the gratitude that sometimes I feel like I never deserve but I’m always so happy to get it. I love working really hard on this channel for you guys. I’m so passionate about it so thank thank you thank thank you.
What????? Yeah!!!! This is what I talked about it... Brother.... Yes.!!!!!!!! More to come.... Hope I can come back next weekend again..... You rock...👍👌🙏🙏👌👍
Alex, I hope you do come back next weekend. You are a beacon of bright light very friendly, kind person and thanks again again for introducing me to the family. You have raised some really well-behaved kids and it was a real honor for me.
@bigbearweatherandmore6621 thanks brother Was my entire pleasure to do it... 1.41 min tha was close call....what a rocky people...unbelievable 😳 Some ...don't understand the difference drive in freeway road and montain snowing roads.....brother just becarfull up there... And guess what..... You rock..... Get ready for 30k susb.... My prediction for this season..👍👊🙏
I drive semi truck across the U.S and live in north east indiana hope you get alot of snow in big bear this year I used to live in california 14 years ago moved to indiana in 2009
Hey there Semi. My bro that’s pretty cool that you drive a semi truck because I love to drive and just you know sometimes enjoy some solitude. That was always something that I thought I could get into when I was younger to drive trucks around the country that would be pretty cool, but believe it or not one of my main concerns was once I cross parts of the middle of the country, worried about putting on tire chains going through the Rockies and other parts of the mountains that just seems like it would be such a nightmare to have to pull over and nasty conditions to do that That’s really cool you live in Indiana getting out of California it was probably a great move back then it’s a lot different than it was just 14 years ago I don’t recognize it at all from the place I grew up the topography will always be beautiful and everything that I love but the big reason I live in the mountains is because things got so crazy down at the bottom I appreciate your comment. I hope you stick around the channel and I hope you guys get a ton of snow in Indiana. A beautiful state.
A little Creedence Clearwater with some changed lyrics. I love it. I absolutely love it. Thanks Leo it’s good to hear from you bro and happy new year to you.
Hey time. It was so frustrating but I have gotten over it. That’s all I needed. I’d be not driving anymore. Insurance would be unattainable Happy new year broski
Hey I’m really needing help with my check engine light. Remember it’s the O2 sensor it says. We’ve replaced it 3 times and still light is on for many days than off for half a day then back on for 3 days or so then back off for half a day. With engine light on I can’t remote start car or use cruise control. It’s awful.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 are you coming down the mountain soon? Or Is there a way you can go to auto zone have them pull codes and then let me know what they are? Give me a call we can work something out.
@@time4dirt so as I said what the codes are is for the O2 sensor if you need the exact codes, I do have my little code reader, but I have to find it. I take it to my good friend Down The Street to his mechanic shop and he replaced the O2 sensor three times, honestly I’ve had a lot of problems at his shop and I’m very sad to say that
@@maryalicesoto1048 well I’m really glad and just so you know making the videos makes me happy when I’m feeling down so it’s a win-win situation it really is
Thank you what arm. I love doing these videos for you guys. It makes me happy the aftermath of the storm. That video will be posted in a couple minutes here. I hope everyone enjoys it it’s just gives you guys an opportunity to see what the whole entire town from the dam, all the way to the other end, looks like after snowstorms, I appreciate you again my friend. Thank you for your kind words.
Dang that’s a lot colder than we are right now but these next couple nights we’re supposed to get colder than we’ve been all season and this weekend some parts of town could see below zero temperatures so I’m very hopeful I can at least get out there to do a video chasing below zero
Hello Nikk , I do love it when you zoom in on the flakes. I couldn’t watch until I finished Table Tennis after work but it looks great. Take care buddy
Thanks Wayne I appreciate that and I hope your table tennis is going great. I enjoy playing table tennis. I used to be pretty good at it. I remember you telling me last year you were going to I can’t remember if it was a little tournament or just to play with your friend but I know that you’re pretty into it and that’s really great.
Hey Patricia, thank you so much. I really enjoyed doing this video. I’ve been waiting for this all year and hopefully we get some bigger snowstorms to come soon.
Hi Nikk, glad you can get out there safely to share with us. Yes, I agree pull over let em pass. It was a good feeling for the others to blink flashers at me when I pulled over on 38 as a thank you. Thanks for the videos
Hey Bianca. I’m right there with you. It really does feel good getting that respect on the road like that and when people show you some love for doing the right thing it encourages you to do it more often so it’s a really really beautiful thing.
Bubba my brother from another mother I remember you told me that you changed your username. I’m glad to hear from you today I’m so stoked because we got more snow than expected so I hope people really enjoy this video.
Haha thanks Max. Dude that doesn’t happen to me often but coincidentally it was on a downhill and the guy was parked right in the middle of the road. I couldn’t believe it and as I’m trying to depress my brakes slowly I caught a little patch of ice and as I said, I was on a downhill slope. You couldn’t really tell in the video, but it was a little bit steep And I wasn’t thrilled but thankfully nothing happened I’m glad I installed my dash cam about a month ago. It’s been sitting in the car without being used for a long time so if something like that would’ve happened at least I would’ve been able to tell the insurance company it wasn’t my fault I can’t afford to to pay more insurance lol. Happy new year to you my bro
@@vaxmax8620 hey thank you Max if you hit that spot at a good time it’s still a pretty fun spot. I’ve been lucky the couple times I’ve been there. It was really nice but I went right after big snowstorms but I can see how it can get icy after a while I can definitely see that.
🎵 "Yes we like cruisin' with you!" That snow looks beautiful... here in Los Angeles we can't get that view that we are enjoying right now watching on your channel! ❄️❄️😊
How cool the snow looks. In fawnskin all you see is trees and the streets covered with snow. How beautiful. Ty for taking us a long for the snow drive. I love the snow. I would love be get snowed in lol.
Jane you’re welcome and I love it as you know getting snowed in is something I always wanted only when I was in school and I was in the snow on vacation that’s the only time I wanted to be snowed in and after last year not being able to leave my driveway that was horrible lol
I appreciate your comment, my friend thank you. I work hard to do this. It’s a passion of mine, a hobby that I love to do so thank you for saying that. I hope you have a very happy new year my friend.
Thank you DonJuan. You definitely said it. We need to be very careful out there and in most cases it’s gonna be the other drivers, so you really need to have eyes everywhere in these conditions.
Hi Nikk, Happy New Year! 🎉😃 Thanks for all the updates. Congratulations on your sponsorship! It’s been so nice to watch your channel flourish over the years and YES, you HAVE worked very hard at this Nikk-you so deserve it! Be safe out there.
Thank you positivity wins thanks for acknowledging that. I really do work hard on this channel and it’s purely a passion of mine. I’m really grateful to get to do this for you guys and maybe someday in the next decade it’ll help pay a bill or two but either way, that’s what being passionate is all about correct?no matter what I’m doing with this channel and where it’s going I’m super happy doing it
Absolutely Gorgeous 😍 ❄️😍❄️😍❄️ I love my happy place and your channel is my happy place 😊liked your rap( hilarious)😂😂it's amazing how snow makes things look totally different!!!!! You are not a dork just a happy guy!!!!!!!! Love your friends jam he rocks!!!!🎼🎵🎶 I can't believe you still have a sizzler restaurant, they closed all of ours down about 18 years ago, you lucky dog I would eat there every weekend!!! WOOHOOO THAT WAS EPIC going up ( sunset & butte)upper moon ridge!!! Your promo is awesome love the music and surprise on your face is great!!!! You did a great job stopping WTH why was he in the middle of the road?!?!?!? Some people need to just stay home 💯 if they don't know how to drive in snow!!!! Thanks Nikk for the AWSOMELY BEAUTIFUL drive 🚗 😍 ❤️ 👍👍
Wow G. Literally the best you really make me smile. Thank you for such unbelievable support and yeah we have a sizzler and I’ve never been there not to the one in town maybe someday. Seriously, thank you again for being so supportive. Makes me feel really good.
@@gtyler-2551 G I love doing it I always will. I would’ve been so upset though, because I didn’t wanna have to use insurance again. I’ve only had to use car insurance once, and that was a year ago for the only accident I’ve ever been in and it raised my insurance by a huge number that wouldn’t have been good for me. Lol, but I did have a dash cam so maybe the insurance would’ve seen that it was that guy who was at fault for parking in the middle of the street
Carol i’ve been doing it for 9 1/2 years. I will never stop. I love doing this when I started this channel there was nobody else that I could find anywhere doing what I do no one in Mammoth or Lake Tahoe or even here or anywhere and a few years after I started, people started copying exactly what I do and all these different areas, and it’s the most flattering thing to know that I was the juggernaut of this particular genre you could say, and I never thought it would amount to anything to be honest. I never had a goal to come up big someday on UA-cam never ever ever ever in my wildest dreams, I just needed a place to post my videos and share the beautiful sites with the world.
Jason, thank you for that my friend I appreciate it. I actually have some rain X but I don’t have the deicer one. That’s a really good idea. I didn’t realize they had that I can’t thank you and others on this channel enough for always giving me the best advice. I’m looking out for me. Thank you and I hope you guys in your part part of the country. Get some good beautiful snowfall Jason thanks again for being here, bro.
Thanks Rubio. Dude, trust me I know how you feel lol it’s been pathetic and now finally some of you guys are going to actually watch the damn time lapse lol because the time lapse is gonna be pretty good because of the storm but yeah thanks for watching man I appreciate your comment. It gives me a lot of hope and inspiration to continue doing what I do. I don’t ever see myself giving this up though.
In my country, the north part of Croatia in Europe we haven’t have real stuff snow for last 5 Years, which is pretty lame, cos usually in past we get every year good amount of snow. But, I’m happy for you Nick, and Thanks for updating.
@@rubio_one878 that is so cool you live in Croatia, my friend a lot of my favorite MMA fighters come from that part of the world and I’m surprised I thought that part of the world got a lot of snow I really appreciate you being here, dude
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Yeah because we’re very small country, but at the same time we have Adriatic Sea (first thought for everyone) and lot of mountains, and at the north and east part a lot of flat parts which used to have real winters before. Yeah, a lot of fighters, my favourite of all time is Mirko crocop.
@@rubio_one878 brother he is one of my all-time favorite fighters as well right kick hospital left kick cemetery Dude, that guy was something special. The big fight that really disappointed me about him was the fight against Gabriel Gonzaga when Gabriel had kicked him and folded him. But I’m a huge fan. He was such a scary man in the K1 ring and the cage.
And I guarantee you he wasn’t stuck. I guarantee you, because as I started trying to pull around him after I came to a stop he backed down a little bit to get out of my way. No problem he had an all-wheel-drive truck and really good tires for that type of weather that’s what irritated me the most, you never know if people are trying to pull insurance fraud lol
@@SHEEPHORNsummer haha yeah it was rough and I let my anger get a hold of me a little bit but because I knew that I had all of you with me it made me try to be the best example that I can be so I was really proud of how I reacted especially when it’s a big truck with great tires in these conditions and as I almost hit him and start driving around him, then he backs out a little bit and moves to the side a little bit moreso it’s just frustrating
At 1:30:05 , you say with the """LACK of SNOW all season.""". You do realize winter starts on Dec. 21. You are in LESS than 2 weeks into winter, I would say this is an AWESOME start to WINTER. I will be praying to keeps coming.
I’ve mentioned that a lot in the videos that we are only only 11 days into winter or 12 days something like that and last week when the snowstorm didn’t pan out to be what it was I kept on reminding people even though we got a late start we still have all winter ahead of us. I’m just referring to the fact that most years that I’ve been here we’ve had snow even in late October and good snowstorms in November and December so yeah we missed out on a few months that’s all I was referring to.
Thank you Lucinda I will never stop doing this no matter how sick or bad I’m feeling it’s a passion and I will fight through whatever I’m going through to bring you guys this footage
Hey Lou well thank you to you and your wife these comments give me so much energy and so much enthusiasm to keep doing what I do so thank you so much for the support. It makes me so happy and I wish you the very best best my friend. happy new year to you and your family.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 By the way I am a Newport Elks Member 1767 and visited the Big Bear Elks Lodge when we were in a cabin at Big Bear for this past Thanksgiving. Introduced myself to Dave who was bartending at the time. Take care fellow Elk friend!
Sup bro. I am going to send it your way my friend. Hopefully some of this system will eventually get over there. We got more than expected so that makes me really thrilled.
Looks so beautiful Nick,I love it,Your humor is the best always,you always make the videos ten times better love your channel man,Keep up the good work and stay Safe out there!!! Enjoy!
Thanks for the compliments always James I’m really glad people are enjoying the videos today again I think people will finally watch the darn time lapse obviously, tomorrow’s the aftermath video, but the following day will be the time lapse and the calm before the storm. Lol.
I remember that’s your street and I don’t know why I always forget the name of it. It’s just shocks me because it’s right down the street from me. Lol and thanks Jen.
Happy New Year! Began right with a virtual trip down BB Blvd and seeing the beautiful ❄️ ❄️ through your lens! Great to hear about the sponsorship 👍🏼 You deserve it all! Wishing you smiles, sunshine, joyful adventures and mighty prosperity! 🙏🏼
Hey Shine well that’s really really nice of you to say that I appreciate it. I really do. I’ve been doing this for so many years working my butt off and finally getting a little bit of recognition from outside entities and thank you for the happy new year wishes. I wish you a very happy new year as well and thanks for being here with me and Sheri this experience I really appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.
Sup Epic. I’m telling you what dude I couldn’t believe this company wanted to partner up with me. They’re the only one of about 50 other companies that I’ve actually decided to go with and promote them because this product is right up my alley. I wish you guys have seen all the big companies that have tried to work with me but I’m not gonna promote something I’m not passionate aboutand all these companies are doing is giving free stuff away to me for helping them out and some of them offer a commission if other people purchase the product but this product is right up my alley and I’m glad you liked it
Definitely, Bob and I have no idea what was going through his head. Maybe he was sliding towards the parked car in the driveway on the left-hand side and didn’t know what to do you never know, but I was just frustrated at the time and that’s something that happens up here a lot is people stopping in the middle of the road When we have snow, it truly boggles my mind.
Nikki! Great to be back with you again for the season!! Beautiful drive. You keep me connected to the area when I'm really hundreds of miles away Aooreciate you Man!
Hey Chris, my bro, it’s my pleasure dude I’m really glad that I can provide this for these situations man I really am happy thank you and I hope you’re having a wonderful day. Thanks for enjoying.
Wow Craig, I’m surprised it was clear this storm wasn’t that big but for the short time it was here it definitely packed a punch and I thought that most of Southern California would’ve got hit pretty good. I hope you enjoyed the time lapse. Finally I hope people will actually watch the time lapse lol.
What’s up Highrider. That’s so cool that you did that. I’ve made a couple trips all the way from the beach to the lake arrowhead area when I was a lot younger just to play in the snow for five minutes and then we would take a cooler of snow back home I miss those days.
Beautiful up in moonridge, my favorite area of Big Bear. Nikk it's UNBELIEVABLE that someone would stop in the middle of the street facing cars coming downhill.
And definitely, the person wasn’t stuck. That’s what irritates me as soon as I got within a foot of him and my car finally stopped he backed up and turned the wheel a little bit to get out of my way so I could drive around him. It’s just so irritating. There was no reason for him to be there but I’m just trying to find something to whine about today lol.
Hey my friend, thank you for that again I just really love doing this for you guys and I love giving you guys the best chance to have the best time possible when you come up here and sitting in traffic is not fun, so I will always be there for you guys and thank you again for your kind words. I really hope you have a killer, new year and prosperity and health for you and your whole family. Thank you so much.
@@DragonNuts dragon how’s it going my friend? so trust me I know how you feel it is so beautiful. I’m very grateful to have you here dragonnuts. Haha funny as heck user name
Wellesley it’s pretty cool and believe it or not I’ve had about 45 other companies want to collaborate over the past year and a half but I didn’t feel right promoting a company just to get a free product if I didn’t have a passion for it this company is right up my alleyreally glad you enjoy it. Thank you so much and I hope the weather in your neck of the woods is looking beautiful. I heard the Sierra’s got some really good snow.
😁Your funny Nikk, I wondered how long it would be for you to notice that license plate on the car in front of you (KWABNGA) it took you all the way from Foxfarm to the 38 split, and it was in front of you the whole way. Stay safe my friend and thanks for the great content.
Hahaha Joe. Was that car in front of me for that long? Lol that’s hilarious. Actually I do remember the car being in front of me but I didn’t look at the license plate at all and usually I’m paying attention to everything like that. I just think you guys had all my attention but yeah when I saw it I got really excited lol.
Lucky you. It i svery beautiful. We saw a storm that dumped over a foot in my city in November but it all melted already. Ever since no snow and we experienced a green Christmas for the first time in many years.
Robert that’s crazy man I wonder if that’s to do with the so-called El Niño happening I’m not buying into it at the moment but that’s what they say is going on out there even parts of Minnesota and South Dakota last week had temperatures in the 40s which is just unheard of this time of year
Haha love you too bro I couldn’t remember which part you were talking about so I clicked on the number I had to rewind it a couple seconds but yeah that’s me bro in a nutshell
Dude it is gonna get cold once every thing clears out a little bit later but this weekend my gosh dude we could get down in some parts of town to zero so I’m really excited if I feel like we’re gonna go below zero I’m gonna do a video of below zero hunting
Love your channel Nikk. Its the only good reliable weather watcher channel out there!! Plus its the only way I can experience snow since it was so warm back in Pennsylvania for the holidays this year. 50 degrees and mud is not christmas weather.
How’s it going Benjamin my brother thanks for the compliment man. I’m very honored I am very honored. And that’s a huge compliment. I appreciate it because about four years or so maybe five or six years after I started other people started literally copying exactly what I do and I found it flattering yet annoying at the same time it’s such a unique genre. I didn’t ever see any other UA-camrs doing the same thing that I’m doing maybe someone would drive in a storm once in a while, but not for every single storm before during an after, so I feel pretty unique and it’s very novel what I created and I’m very excited about it at first I didn’t think anything of it I can’t believe you guys out there experiencing 50° weather that’s crazy in Pennsylvania. I thought it would be a lot colder this time of year. I even heard Montana and South Dakota and North Dakota are experiencing some warm temperatures but it’s just the way things happen last year we had record cold temperatures all over Southern California cold temperatures that blue the other records out of the water snow in areas that never ever see snow not even since I’ve been alive so it’s just the way it works but I hope you guys do snow
Thanks for the reply Nikk. The winters used to be much colder. There was always snow around christmas from lake effects snows. Now were Im from were lucky to have a few inches on the ground for christmas. Last year was crazy though. Especially for a la nina year. La ninas are normaly dryer in Southern California. @@bigbearweatherandmore6621
@@benjaminpalagonia2850 yes exactly right. And the good thing about the warmer weather is more people will survive on planet earth when it comes to harsh weather. The cold ends many many more lives than the heat annually. It’s a huge discrepancy but I’m not a fan of the cycle I’m Thinking earth is going through. Because I love the snow. Again what gives me hope is all the record cold 🥶 annually giving me Hope hahaha. Of course record heat all Over the place as well but it’s funny how the large amounts of record cold and snow in places where it never snows is never reported as much as the heat. Never even close. So I do my due diligence to keep hope alive. I will do my snow and cold dance for y’all to get back a good winter. I’ve always wanted to live in the way of like affect snow. Redfield New York is a spot I’d love to live for a winter season. Just keep the hope alive. Even here when I was a kid visiting I remember it seemed like more snow back then.
I sometimes go back and watch your old videos and I love how raw your personality was when you had no intentions of building a channel you would say some very hilarious things 😂. But now that you have more eyes on you I definitely see why you stopped playing the music and even changed up the language you use since you have to evolve with your current situation but I hope you always stay true to yourself no matter how large you get ❄️
Wow, that’s crazy that you noticed. Those are the only two things that I’ve changed is I watch my language more and I don’t play music anymore. Wow, you really do watch and you have been watching for a long time that’s amazing. Thanks for watching the older videos those videos make me proud.
The last couple storms we would have gotten much less rain in Mentone, but for our microclimate. T storms developed over the mtns and we got em! I love to see the snow fall, especially when the fully formed flakes fall on my arms, I can see the forms. Have to find a peaceful cabin to stay in during the week soon in the mtns.
Juney dude. When you’re ready to come stay up here, let me know and I will give you the information of my partner who does all the merchandise for me. He has an Airbnb really close to Bear Mountain and it’s an awesome place if you go into my playlist and look at the sheep horn retreat, on the lodging you’ll get to see his place it’s got a Jacuzzi it’s a nice mountain cabin. I think you would dig it and he might even hook you up better since you’re a friend of of the channel so let me know when you’re planning on coming up here and I’ll hook you up with him
Hi Nikk. It’s such a nice video that you have posted and it’s always amazing seeing you enjoying the snow. It’s fun seeing you evolve from old videos to now. In terms of the language and music. It brightens my day to see somebody care about your fans and you reply to everybody. Really appreciate you Nikk, be safe in this weather. I know you’re probably like last year was insane, this is nothing 😂
Oh this was absolutely nothing. This was like a snowflake lol compared to last year but once we get our first OK snowfall people get crazy up here the driving. And thanks for taking notice to a lot of the or not a lot but just a couple of the major changes I’ve made I’m still the same person just more respectful when it comes to my language and I think that’s very important especially with so many children watching
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Haha right, just a dusting of snow. But yea, first snowfall of the season is chaos especially when people don’t get winter tires. I absolutely loved those videos when you said some funny things. It is very important and you’re still the same person and you will always be. Have a good night
@@terryleung622 I agree Terry. To be a little more respectful when it comes to my use of words on the channel is not a bad thing to change which as you’ve seen over the past maybe five years or maybe a little bit more I really watched my mouth. I do have a sailor mouth for sureand I try not to be like that anymore because it’s not nice
@@terryleung622 it definitely is a change for the better no question about it. I’ll never change who I am on the inside, but we all have I don’t wanna call it a character defect but we all have them and owning up to them and trying to change it is the right thing to do so thank you again for those supportive words because I am trying my best.
Hey there, Gonzalo. I’m excited about the cold coming. I’m thinking we might have a slight chance over near Baldwin to see 0° so I’m hoping we get there this weekend and happy new year to you my friend.

Hey thanks bro I am super pumped about this. I know it’s not that much snow but compared to what we were supposed to get it’s a lot and we haven’t had anything this year for the most part so this was a nice surprise to get a little more than usual that’s probably once out of every hundred storms we will get a little bit more than expected, some of the weather forecast predict up to 6 inches but most of them said maybe an inch or two and I thought maybe about two But yeah dude thank you and thanks for noticing how stoked I am. I hope you have a happy new year, my brother, and thanks again for being here with me
And when it comes to the El Niño so in 1996 and 1997 I was still living where I grew up in Newport Beach and a friend of mine, and myself we drove up to Mammoth and I had never seen so much snow in my life, you couldn’t see the buildings or anything and they said it was one of the snowiest years they’ve ever had on record the 96 and 97 year and that was the biggest El Niño I’ve ever ever seen When it comes to this area, El Niño is devastating. I’ve never been here for El Niño for a real one but I’m pretty certain because of the much warmer subtropical moisture mixing in since big bears usually on the snow and rain line. It’s gonna be mostly rain when we have an El Niño season and yes, that would be devastating for tourism devastating for the resorts . And you know what I’ll bet it’s the same for Lake Tahoe as well really rainy as opposed to as much snow as usual, but Mammoth got absolutely plastered as I said you couldn’t see any buildings when you were driving into town it was unbelievable and I mean, basically, houses and businesses, of course some of the larger buildings you could see for sure, but you would turn down the street and it just looked like wall-to-wall snow Do you think the El Niño is gonna actually pan out? Ian that’s my brother’s name by the way but I’ve been experiencing for the nine years that I’ve lived here it seems like every year the meteorologists down the mountain are constantly saying that it looks like an El Niño is building and then it gets to a certain time of year when they’re so confident that the El Niño is going to happen, and nothing ever happens
Hey, there, someone. I’m sorry you’re not gonna be able to make it but I hope I can bring Big Bear to you and continue doing what I’m doing to bring it closer to you. You take care my friend
@@someoneyouheardof I’d like to start another business. Driving down to bottom and pick up folks who are afraid to drive up. It would be nice to do that. But I wouldn’t want to charge any of you therefor I’d go broke hahah. What do I do ? 😂
I’d like to do a video camping in the snow I think that would be awesome I want my wife and I to go do some camping in the snow I’m just not really good at doing stuff like that but I’ve always wanted to make videos like that
Congratulations on getting the Airbnb and I hope you have a great time when you come up here so check it out next time you wanna get an Airbnb my partner who’s doing all my merchandise and promos and commercials and stuff like that just the coolest dude ever he’s a rocket scientist during the day basically an aeronautical engineer and he has a property near Bear Mountain and I’m trying to help him out as much as I can by having people on this channel rent through him as a matter fact, in the lodging part of this channel I have a video of his place. It’s the place off of Sheephorn. Thanks again for your kindness
Kosmo seriously it’s ridiculous that it took this long and still this is nothing but compared to what we’ve received. It’s like the blizzard of the century lol.
Yes, I’m seeing that on the radar as well. It’s not looking like much but anything is better than nothing. And then this weekend unfortunately, it showed about eight days ago we could get up to 3 feet of snow maybe if everything worked out properly and now we’re not even gonna get an inch probably Saturday night into Sunday
How’s it going Youngblood? I love your username and I appreciate your kind words so to answer your question you’re gonna laugh but I’m using my iPhone 12+ pro and then for my regular phone that I use I use my 13 but yes for the past year and a half I’ve been using the iPhone 12 plus Pro and before that it was my iPhone 11+ Pro lol, some videos very rarely I will use my new GoPro
Haha. Totally. I know it didn’t look all that bad because it was such a slow moving situation but I just couldn’t believe it how that guy just parked right in the middle and you saw his truck correct? And you saw the tires correct? There wasn’t that much snow and he wasn’t stuck because right after I almost hit him and then started driving around him. Once I got control again he backed out a little bit and turned his steering wheel to give me a little more room so it was just so frustrating that he just sat there as I’m honking like 15 timesmaking it clear that I’m not stopping. Just so irritating.
My brother Paul it’s good to hear from you bro thank you for always being positive kind and generous with love and respect you show me Well, it looks like we have a couple days break in the weather and Saturday night into Sunday. We could get some more snow not more than an inch though. Again, good to hear from you, Paul
I love it there, I miss the snow and those disappearing cars man. I'd love to see that happen agand look at that snow, I love, it's been a long time since I've seen it up there in the snow. But back when we were kids, we would be going up the Hill and we couldn't wait to see the cars coming down the Hill that have all the snow on top . So when we get ready to leave, we would pile the snow on the car and see how long it with last as we are going home. Mostly just gone by the time we got home, but it was just fun. Oh yes, on the chains. I remember my dad having to pull over and put them on the car. We haven't even got any snow where we're at right now in upstate, New york. It's law, isn't it? If you have more than 5 cars behind you, or is it 10, you have to pull over? I remember used to be a law. Be safe. Thanks for the video. You know having a place there my whole life, you know more about the area than I ever did.
Hey Jen. Great to hear from you today my friend and it’s funny that you mentioned being excited when you would see the cars driving down the mountain with snow that was something that always made me really happy and especially driving back on the 91 freeway when we had big snowstorms up here when we would visit And seeing cars in RIVERSIDE with a bunch of snow on them still that was so cool I don’t know exactly how many people supposed to be behind you before you’re legally supposed to pull over and let people pass but yes it’s just a few
@bigbearweatherandmore6621 it's so funny all the memories of being a kid in Big Bear. Caught my first fish in BBL. And kissed my first fish there as well ( I was 1 I have pictures to prove it lol)
@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Most people won't even acknowledge you anymore. When we went up the last time, my dad usually always wave and flashed his bli kers, but I noticed he doesn't anymore because he heard about some road rage thing up there. I don't blame him he's 88. Memories of the late 70s all of the 80s till I had a baby day after grad. Dad would give us money and drop us in the village for an our or so so we could by knick knacks. I love it when you drive and i see Brown Bear gift shop that was my favorite store. I wanna thank you I have severe depression especially in the winter. I see your videos either I cry cause I'm homesick and yes you can still be home sick 40yrs later. Or cuddle up in my blanket and yell at you to be careful or seeing familiar places 7 11 I had to have slurpee memories. I remember when there was no schools or hospitals there was q grocery stor I think it was stater bros. And Kmart yeah I'm old. No body really decided yr round I remember parties my grandparent to host for our moonridge friends Things have changed once it be came popular in movies and games! Too long I'm sorry nobody here really cares what I talk about. That's why when your on I can tell you. You've made a big difference in me where my mental health comes in...ok done now.
Thanks Gianni and a friend of mine in Lake arrowhead sent me some pictures of the snow early this morning so I’m really happy for you my friend. I hope you’re enjoying it. I bet a lot of it melted already but I hope you enjoyed what you guys got.
@@GianniOrtolano yeah but it’s gonna be gone real soon. Maybe not as soon as I think though because we do have some extreme cold coming in the next couple days you guys should get hit with that also.
Nothin like a flat lander (just assuming hehe) to cause accidents cause driving in snow is - to be fair- very sketch! Caltrans needs to give them instructions on safe driving tips when it snows, maybe a few locals too lol. Glad you avoided that!! 😥 that was scary. thanks for taking the risk to drive!! Snows so much more in BBL than BBC wow 👍🏽
Hey D. Isn’t it crazy how much different the amount of snow is when you go further into Big Bear city as opposed to Big Bear Lake? At first I was shocked and I thought it was just an anomaly but after doing this for 9+ years it’s a regular thing. And yes, guarantee you that was a flatlander for sure but he gets a pass since no one got hurt but he’s very lucky because I have a dash cam and he would’ve been responsible for just sitting in the middle of the road so I’m glad everything was OK and you are correct even locals some need to learn how to maneuver in the snow as well. It really isn’t that easy it takes a little getting used to and if the conditions are just right, it’ll be just icy enough where it doesn’t matter what type of tires or vehicle or chains you have you’re gonna slide.
Wes no way bro. Dude that’s crazy. That’s where you slid out. That’s happened to me before a few years back and I almost went all the way across the whole way as well. I can’t believe that caused that much damage man I am so sorry to hear that ultimately I’m glad you’re OK but 18,000 and damage from sliding your car into a curb to that’s gnarly, again I’m really glad you’re OK and happy new year to you bro
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yeah i was surprised it slid across the entire intersection.. It's allot of space. Anyway, love to watch your vids to keep up on what happening up there. We have a cottage on Willow... Very close to you.
@@wesleyr oh yeah I know where Willow is in Moonridge right there. That’s a great location. If you’re a golfer, it makes it even better. You can just walk to the driving range. It’s pretty great. but again I’m glad you’re OK. Wes that huge amount of damage is mind blowing.
Very pretty! What is learned watching Nikk drive in snow... - 'Hey guys! Come on up, we want tourists!' (Except when Nikk is out driving, because traffic is a pain! 😂) - Although I'm not a fan of punk, your friend has a cool voice. I didn't catch his name, so can't search. - 🎵 New earworm "Snowblind" by Styx. -Yes, indeed. If you didn't watch last year, it really does snow more at the dam end! ("Watch your language!" "Hey, I spelled it the other way!") - Audio out of sync around 53 mins... Weird. - Traffic sux! - Snow socks for tires? Are they knitted out of wool? (wah wah waaah. Bad joke!) - Yay! Audio back in sync after a quick video edit, or glitch! - Get outa the road, kids... Kids? Some of those are adults! - Helping Nikk by pushing an invisible brake that is not on my floor. 😂 - 🎵 Slip-slidin' awaaaayy🎶 (Paul Simon).. Glad you were able to stop! Geez. People. I read the comments first, so I knew this was coming up. Figured you got home ok, since the video got uploaded! 😊
Hahaha you are hilarious Nutti. And his name is Jeffrey Dean. I don’t know if you had the ab to hit the rewind button a little bit lol but his name is Jeffrey Dean and I completely completely forgot you’re absolutely right to put any information in the video about his song. He’s definitely not punk rock music. It’s the complete opposite of punk rock music. He’s pretty good stuff as well. Believe it or not a lot of my favorite music is classical music like classical singers, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, other people like that. It’s Jeffrey Dean music on UA-cam. He’s got amazing music. It blows me away. It’s so good I know the words to a lot of his songs and usually I don’t know someone who’s that close to me whose music inspires me as much as his so I was very privileged to get to know him. Yes, everyone needs to come up and visit. We need everyone here just not when I’m on the road. Lol. Hopefully seeing how horrible other people drive up here allows people to really get mentally prepared for entering the bumper car zone I never got into the Styx. Was never into that type of music even though all my older siblings absolutely loved that band growing up it was mostly stuff like Guns N’ Roses, and metallica and Faith No More and stuff like that until I was in my young teens. Then punk rock and reggae, took over. Anyway, nutty it’s good to hear from you. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your evening and a very happy new year and Jeffrey would be very proud for you to check out his UA-cam channel called Jeffrey Dean music. I think he would enjoy it. He has some really good songs.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Thanks, Nikk! I'll look him up. I can rewind, but my ears were not sure if it's Bean, Green, Dean...? I know a lot of musical people, so it's fun to listen to new ones if I like their style. A band I know was playing at 572 Social Kitchen a lot last year (mostly summer). As in, I know the lead singers for real. I think you'd like them. They do 70s, 80s, 90s etc, mix. Guns n Roses had one or two I liked. I'm probably into older stuff than your older siblings! Haha. Try Styx out again, sometimes taste expands with age!
@@nutti2you380 trust me I know my music wasn’t for the weak of heart. My parents hated my music. And I was totally just joshing with you about the rewind thing. I hope you got that. Nutti your awesome. I bet I’d like The Styx today. For me it’s something I’m sure would be great. I will play some on my Apple Music
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Me and your parents probably like the same stuff! LOL. Many musicians are very good, but I still might not like their genre of choice. I checked out Jeffrey Dean music. Did you know there's also a Jeffrey Dean Morgan music? A bit confusing. I think I found the correct one. But give me a title to make sure? I knew you are joshing about the rewind. But truth, my ears can't always distinguish between sound-alike words. Like spelling on the phone, is that S or F? Styx isn't the heaviest of metal, but isn't easy listening either. "Paradise Theater" is a great album.
@@nutti2you380 No, I agree with you 100%. I’m a fan of talent of talented musicians, but I might not like the music that they play. I’m right there with you. We are people who appreciate talented people.
Hey Lyn. So I’m not able to let you know for sure until the actual time you’re gonna be coming up we never know but I will definitely keep everyone posted whenever we have a storm coming through. I will always post what the road conditions are on the community post. So just stay tuned and contact me the closer you get to coming up here so I can do the best I can but usually I wouldn’t know what they’re gonna do for the roads The unless it’s the day that you’re coming up then I can get a better idea if we have snow within a few hours of you driving up there’s a good chance you’ll need them and I always suggest that you put tired chains in your trunk anyway just in case, it’s a sense of protection and peace of mind I hope you guys have a great time when you get here don’t forget stay in touch. If you have any more questions especially the closer we get towards the time you guys are coming.
Jey J Flores I really think you made the right decision because your safety Hass to be paramount and it’s gonna give you more confidence driving these roads as well. I just want you to be safe and I’m really glad you chose to do that. Have a blast when you get here.
Hey great video! I had just a quick question, do you protect the underbody of your car? In terms of spraying fluid film, etc. when they put salt down on the roads? Thanks.
Wow, that’s a great question and honestly I feel very pathetic for saying this but I haven’t really thought about doing that and since you mentioned it, I know that I’m missing out big-time. I should be doing that. Thank you for bringing that up. I would’ve never thought about it and it’s so important because I know I can absolutely kill the life of my vehicle. I hope you’re having a great day, my friend
Wouldn’t that be awesome if it did, I wish it did. We do have a tiny little system coming in over the weekend which was supposed to be a really big storm about 10 days ago it was saying we could get up to 3 feet of snow if everything worked out and now we might not even get an inch of snow lol.
That looks like a lot of snow you got there I hope you stay safe and I heard that you guys will get more snow next week I’m the forecast but nice keeping this bro 😎
Hey Manny, thank you so much bro I appreciate that very much. I always do the best I can for you guys and yes it looks like a little more snow this weekend but as it gets closer it’s showing less and less snow. I’m very disappointed.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621that good I keep looking up big bear weather storm we got some rain down here I hope you guys get a lot of snow and you’re Channel is awesome 👍😀
@@MrcreeperOG Manny my bro thanks again dude you’re very awesome. I’m really happy to have you here with me. We have such a cool community of people here and I’ll always be doing what I do when it comes to the channel right now I am beyond tired I didn’t sleep last night at alland I’ve been up doing this since about six. I didn’t go to sleep till about four, but I didn’t really sleep so now I’m just trying to make sure I respond to all my friends here and then take a little bit of a nap.
That is correct at the moment. No tire chains are required. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. If you need immediate assistance with that, go to the Caltrans website on your phone it’s really easy on the top right or top left. There’s four lines you’ll click on the four lines or three lines and it’s a drop-down menu and a few options down below is road conditions, and in the box you can type in all three road Road numbers putting a space in between each of them. It will Populate all three of our major highways, which is Highway 330 Highway 38 and Highway 18 and it’s instant information
Have a trip planned out for the 12th, kinda feel embarrassed to ask but i have a 23 taco offroad 4x4 and a/t triple peak snow rated tires i dont think i need chains but what is your opinion was debating about pulling the trigger on some on amazon lol, thanks for your videos enjoying the content.
Mauricio that’s a great question dude and sorry it took so long to get back to you So if you have a four-wheel-drive truck and you have actual snow rated tires, not just winter tires or all season tires, but snow specific tires in most cases are not gonna make you put on tire chains most of the time you’ll already have the requirement, but I know they like to know that people have the tire chains anyway so what I would suggest just to keep yourself extra safe and not have to be inconvenienced in anyway, if you have a few extra bucks to buy some nice tire chains, you might as well do it, and just keep them in the truck for eternity I know it’s a purchase you’re probably not gonna have to use but I know you’ll feel really good knowing you have them just in case even in you’re awesome truck you do have issues I don’t know honestly, as I said, if you’re able to afford some chains even though you’re probably not gonna ever use them I would still do it it’s definitely worthwhile
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 thanks for the reply Nikk I appreciate it very much, that’s what the wife is suggesting better to have them and not need them then need them and not have them. Thank you again for the response and your videos we appreciate them!
@@mauricioserratotechtravelvlog yeah dude it’s really important. Make sure you have tire chains always I just strongly suggested and as I said if you can afford them, it’s definitely worth the peace of mind.

Left Running Springs (California entirely) 13 yrs ago. I didn’t miss the fires, the bark beetles, the snow or digging my car out at 3 am to head down to work. Seeing this makes me a bit homesick though. I wouldn’t mind having a cabin for vacations.
Hey Twinzma. Running Springs is a very beautiful area and yes the fires can get absolutely terrifying. You definitely left California at the right time right before it started getting and turning into a place I just don’t recognize from growing up here
I love the topography always have and always will. That’s never gonna change but you’re lucky you got out. I’m in Big Bear because it’s my favorite place in Southern California. I’m from Newport Beach. I love Newport Beach as well but I rarely leave the mountain. It’s just too depressing when I drive down the mountain but that feeling I get driving up the mountain once I hit about 4000 feet elevation is just like I’m driving into Heaven. Just peace and serenity overwhelm me.
I appreciate your comment. I’m glad I can bring some nostalgia into your heart and I hope the New Year’s treating you well so far. Take care my friend.
Brings back so many memories. I grew up in Big Bear Lake, CA. Graduated from Big Bear High, Class of 1993. Lived on Juniper Drive. I have no family left in Big Bear because they all moved away. I left California years ago.
Hey Mateo. I appreciate you sharing that with me I’m really really glad to hear from you my friend and I’m glad I can bring back some memories and nostalgia into your life. I love when I’m able to provide that.
I hope you’re doing well. I hope you’re enjoying other states. if I didn’t have my heels dug in so deep here I’d be probably somewhere else I wish I could take the town of big bear wherever I move. Lol.
So happy to see snow that’s sticking - finally! Thanks always for bringing us Big Bear snow video. ❤. Fingers crossed for more snow this weekend.
It really is my pleasure. Thank you for being so grateful for what I do I work really hard at this. So thank you for the acknowledgment.
Good morning, night at your place, going to watch the last part from your nice video, greetings still in Amsterdam
Hi Jael. Well, thank you my friend I’ll never ever get used to the fact that people from across the world are my friends watching this channel. I’m very thankful to have you here. Thanks again for the support always my friend.
I love the snow!❤ I’m so happy we get to witness this too!
It is absolutely my pleasure to bring this to everybody. I grew up in Newport Beach and I would always wonder what it’s like up here after a storm and during the storm so now I get to bring this to everybody who’s interested and it makes me so happy.
When Nikk post I automatically like❤👍🏼
Haha. What’s up HH. And whenever I see your comment, I automatically get excited so thank you and it’s good to hear from you. How have you been my friend? It’s been a minute again it’s really nice to hear from you and thank you for liking all the videos I’m telling you what it helps me so much more than people think especially right when the video is uploaded the more people that hit like right at the beginning, it triggers UA-cam ‘s algorithm to push the video further and I really appreciate you doing that for me and again it’s really good to hear from you
The power of prayer!! I’m happy to see this and be safe broski!
Hey Anthony, you are right about that and it wasn’t a completely selfish, praying either because the more snow we have it helps everybody up here when it comes to business owners
😎👍 Awesome! Nice driving snow tour! I think the guy in the truck DID get over all the way! 😉 All the way into your lane! 😁
Hey Kelsey. And I was telling everyone he was in the center but yeah you’re right he was born on my side of the lane not just in the center but further over. I just don’t understand maybe it’s because the air is so thin up here, there’s less oxygen I don’t know.
😁
My mind only read the words hard, fast and deep. I think this is due to the fact I possess the mind of a child. Glad you got your wish for snow! Indeed a very Happy New Year!
Hahahahahahahahahahajajjahaha. Benzoid you have me rolling dude.
Do we have to go sooooooo fast??!! I'm getting car sick. 😴 🤒🤒 just kidding. I love taking drives with you!!
Those goggles are totally cool. Be careful my friend. ♥
You know what I know sometimes even when I’m driving what I consider safe for the conditions I know it can still be a little bit too fast and I think one of the reasons why I don’t slow down even more as I said, I know for my driving skills I’m driving safe for the conditions which is always a lot less than the speed limit but the reason why I don’t go any slower is because I want you guys to see the video right away so I’m trying to get back to get the video uploaded And shown to my family here
But I agree with you I know you said you were joking, but I kind of agree with that statement lol
It’s your buddy Anderson Silva , Awesome video bro, wish was up there with you, snow looks so beautiful, my kids love watching you, even the grand parents, we really enjoy your channel, every year it’s like watching its a wonderful life, thanks so much for the time and effort you spend. God Bless
My favorite fighter lol it’s good to hear from you Anderson and thank you for the kind words. It’s really nice that your family enjoys what I do. It makes me really happy. I mean it really makes me very happy. I can’t believe the whole family watches. It’s just such a joy and a pleasure to do this for you guys. Please tell each and every every single one of them I said hello.
Beautiful 😮 haha I'd be so scared driving in snow 😅
Sup desert I’m telling you when I first did it the first few times maybe even the first year or two it was pretty darn scary and I was still driving back then like an idiot so I got very lucky back then
You do such an amazing job. I am so proud of you. Sooooo proud you. I love you so much babe.
Yumm? What's for dinner? 😂
Thanks babe. I love you so much.
@@nutti2you380 I saw message earlier. The comment was messed up she said because the tv in background caught the microphone hahahaha. I was wondering what are you talking about my beautiful wife hahahaha
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 hahaha. The part about check the fridge! Thought maybe she left you some delicious lunch or dinner! I rarely use voice for that reason. The tv can confuse it!

Don’t lose out on sleep brother
We need you for a LONG time doing these amazing vids. Much love
Will I’m on the other line chatting with my buddy who’s doing the merchandise and stuff like that and I told him I need a little bit of rest here. I need a good hour or an hour and a half nap and it’s really hard during the day because my other job is constantly going to, so I’m gonna really try and close my eyes and hopefully my phone doesn’t ring for a good hour at least thanks for caring my brother.
Beautiful!
Thank you everything I’m loving it so much. We got a lot more snow than I expected. Especially in the second half of this video. It got really heavy at times.
YAY SNOW , YES ! FINALLY! Thanks for sharing and driving in all of that for all of us.
Greatly appreciated . ♥️ Stay safe and drive careful.
Hey there Dottie. Are you kidding me my friend it is such a pleasure to do this for you guys.

Great video !! 😊
Hey thank you epic I really appreciate that comments like this really keep me going in a big way so thank you for your kind soul
I drive semi truck across the U.S and live in north east indiana hope you get alot of snow in big bear this year I used to live in california 14 years ago moved to indiana in 2009
Hey there Semi. My bro that’s pretty cool that you drive a semi truck because I love to drive and just you know sometimes enjoy some solitude. That was always something that I thought I could get into when I was younger to drive trucks around the country that would be pretty cool, but believe it or not one of my main concerns was once I cross parts of the middle of the country, worried about putting on tire chains going through the Rockies and other parts of the mountains that just seems like it would be such a nightmare to have to pull over and nasty conditions to do that
That’s really cool you live in Indiana getting out of California it was probably a great move back then it’s a lot different than it was just 14 years ago I don’t recognize it at all from the place I grew up the topography will always be beautiful and everything that I love but the big reason I live in the mountains is because things got so crazy down at the bottom
I appreciate your comment. I hope you stick around the channel and I hope you guys get a ton of snow in Indiana. A beautiful state.
I wanna know have you ever see snow, coming down in a snowy day 🎶🎵😂....
Holly White Molly!!!! It was awesome Nikk!!!!!
Bye!!

A little Creedence Clearwater with some changed lyrics. I love it. I absolutely love it. Thanks Leo it’s good to hear from you bro and happy new year to you.
Woe Nikk!! That was a close call. Glad alls good. Thanks for the ride.
Hey time. It was so frustrating but I have gotten over it. That’s all I needed. I’d be not driving anymore. Insurance would be unattainable
Happy new year broski
Hey I’m really needing help with my check engine light. Remember it’s the O2 sensor it says. We’ve replaced it 3 times and still light is on for many days than off for half a day then back on for 3 days or so then back off for half a day. With engine light on I can’t remote start car or use cruise control. It’s awful.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 are you coming down the mountain soon? Or Is there a way you can go to auto zone have them pull codes and then let me know what they are? Give me a call we can work something out.
@@time4dirt so as I said what the codes are is for the O2 sensor if you need the exact codes, I do have my little code reader, but I have to find it. I take it to my good friend Down The Street to his mechanic shop and he replaced the O2 sensor three times, honestly I’ve had a lot of problems at his shop and I’m very sad to say that
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yes get codes and let me know what they are
Beautiful footage Nikk! This is why I am here and love your channel. ⛄️ Be safe friend!
Thanks Mary you allow me to keep smiling
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 aww and your videos keep me smiling - especially in dark times .
@@maryalicesoto1048 well I’m really glad and just so you know making the videos makes me happy when I’m feeling down so it’s a win-win situation it really is
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 indeed! Win win!
@@maryalicesoto1048 winner winner chicken dinner haha
I love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to do them. They are very relaxing for me.
Thank you what arm. I love doing these videos for you guys. It makes me happy the aftermath of the storm. That video will be posted in a couple minutes here. I hope everyone enjoys it it’s just gives you guys an opportunity to see what the whole entire town from the dam, all the way to the other end, looks like after snowstorms, I appreciate you again my friend. Thank you for your kind words.
HECK YEAH BROTHER!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME!!!!! I'm in Tennessee and it 26 degrees, unfortunately no SNOW!!! I'M JEALOUS......
Dang that’s a lot colder than we are right now but these next couple nights we’re supposed to get colder than we’ve been all season and this weekend some parts of town could see below zero temperatures so I’m very hopeful I can at least get out there to do a video chasing below zero
Hello Nikk , I do love it when you zoom in on the flakes. I couldn’t watch until I finished Table Tennis after work but it looks great. Take care buddy
Thanks Wayne I appreciate that and I hope your table tennis is going great. I enjoy playing table tennis. I used to be pretty good at it. I remember you telling me last year you were going to I can’t remember if it was a little tournament or just to play with your friend but I know that you’re pretty into it and that’s really great.
Beautiful snow ❄️ Awesome!
Hey Patricia, thank you so much. I really enjoyed doing this video. I’ve been waiting for this all year and hopefully we get some bigger snowstorms to come soon.
Hi Nikk, glad you can get out there safely to share with us. Yes, I agree pull over let em pass. It was a good feeling for the others to blink flashers at me when I pulled over on 38 as a thank you. Thanks for the videos
Hey Bianca. I’m right there with you. It really does feel good getting that respect on the road like that and when people show you some love for doing the right thing it encourages you to do it more often so it’s a really really beautiful thing.
Really good accumulating snow!
It was definitely a lot more than anticipated hurricane, so I hope you guys get a good dumping as well
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 they are calling for 5-8 inches maybe even one foot of snow on Sunday, it's exciting since it's about time we get snow.
Wooooh ❄️ Great to see you enjoying it!
We had frosted trees this morning, but so far no snow to speak of in western Canuck land ❄️
Rock girl it’s coming your way. I hope great to hear from you today.
Yewwwww!!! cold systems are moving in!!! Much love Nick, your local flatlander Bubba
The website edit was sick❤
Bubba my brother from another mother I remember you told me that you changed your username. I’m glad to hear from you today I’m so stoked because we got more snow than expected so I hope people really enjoy this video.
@@JonesCrew576 brother Bubba the check is in the mail lol. Thanks, Dude.
Almost slid into that truck that parked the wrong way…Held
It together well. Here’s a like! Stay safe
Haha thanks Max. Dude that doesn’t happen to me often but coincidentally it was on a downhill and the guy was parked right in the middle of the road. I couldn’t believe it and as I’m trying to depress my brakes slowly I caught a little patch of ice and as I said, I was on a downhill slope. You couldn’t really tell in the video, but it was a little bit steep And I wasn’t thrilled but thankfully nothing happened I’m glad I installed my dash cam about a month ago. It’s been sitting in the car without being used for a long time so if something like that would’ve happened at least I would’ve been able to tell the insurance company it wasn’t my fault I can’t afford to to pay more insurance lol.
Happy new year to you my bro
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 I know that spot. It gets icy. Luckily just a close call. Thanks for the videos
@@vaxmax8620 hey thank you Max if you hit that spot at a good time it’s still a pretty fun spot. I’ve been lucky the couple times I’ve been there. It was really nice but I went right after big snowstorms but I can see how it can get icy after a while I can definitely see that.
🎵 "Yes we like cruisin' with you!" That snow looks beautiful... here in Los Angeles we can't get that view that we are enjoying right now watching on your channel! ❄️❄️😊
Oh thank you so much Pat that is so nice of you and hello down there in Los Angeles. We are sending our love from Big Bear.
How cool the snow looks. In fawnskin all you see is trees and the streets covered with snow. How beautiful. Ty for taking us a long for the snow drive. I love the snow. I would love be get snowed in lol.
Jane you’re welcome and I love it as you know getting snowed in is something I always wanted only when I was in school and I was in the snow on vacation that’s the only time I wanted to be snowed in and after last year not being able to leave my driveway that was horrible lol
I appreciate your BB updates!
I appreciate your comment, my friend thank you. I work hard to do this. It’s a passion of mine, a hobby that I love to do so thank you for saying that. I hope you have a very happy new year my friend.
Be careful out there friends, but do enjoy as it looks so beautiful.
Thank you DonJuan. You definitely said it. We need to be very careful out there and in most cases it’s gonna be the other drivers, so you really need to have eyes everywhere in these conditions.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Absolutely. I'm worried rookie snow drivers will hurt 🤕 you. I know you know how to handle the snow driving. 👌
Hi Nikk, Happy New Year! 🎉😃 Thanks for all the updates. Congratulations on your sponsorship! It’s been so nice to watch your channel flourish over the years and YES, you HAVE worked very hard at this Nikk-you so deserve it! Be safe out there.
Thank you positivity wins thanks for acknowledging that. I really do work hard on this channel and it’s purely a passion of mine. I’m really grateful to get to do this for you guys and maybe someday in the next decade it’ll help pay a bill or two but either way, that’s what being passionate is all about correct?no matter what I’m doing with this channel and where it’s going I’m super happy doing it
Absolutely Gorgeous 😍 ❄️😍❄️😍❄️ I love my happy place and your channel is my happy place 😊liked your rap( hilarious)😂😂it's amazing how snow makes things look totally different!!!!! You are not a dork just a happy guy!!!!!!!! Love your friends jam he rocks!!!!🎼🎵🎶 I can't believe you still have a sizzler restaurant, they closed all of ours down about 18 years ago, you lucky dog I would eat there every weekend!!! WOOHOOO THAT WAS EPIC going up ( sunset & butte)upper moon ridge!!! Your promo is awesome love the music and surprise on your face is great!!!! You did a great job stopping WTH why was he in the middle of the road?!?!?!? Some people need to just stay home 💯 if they don't know how to drive in snow!!!! Thanks Nikk for the AWSOMELY BEAUTIFUL drive 🚗 😍 ❤️ 👍👍
Wow G. Literally the best you really make me smile. Thank you for such unbelievable support and yeah we have a sizzler and I’ve never been there not to the one in town maybe someday.
Seriously, thank you again for being so supportive. Makes me feel really good.
@bigbearweatherandmore6621 You are very Welcome!!! Thank you for going out and putting yourself in danger!!! Lol👍😂👍
@@gtyler-2551 G I love doing it I always will. I would’ve been so upset though, because I didn’t wanna have to use insurance again. I’ve only had to use car insurance once, and that was a year ago for the only accident I’ve ever been in and it raised my insurance by a huge number that wouldn’t have been good for me. Lol, but I did have a dash cam so maybe the insurance would’ve seen that it was that guy who was at fault for parking in the middle of the street
Thanks for all your hard work today showing Big Bear Lake First real snow day. It's looks very Beautiful.Please keep safe!
Carol i’ve been doing it for 9 1/2 years. I will never stop. I love doing this when I started this channel there was nobody else that I could find anywhere doing what I do no one in Mammoth or Lake Tahoe or even here or anywhere and a few years after I started, people started copying exactly what I do and all these different areas, and it’s the most flattering thing to know that I was the juggernaut of this particular genre you could say, and I never thought it would amount to anything to be honest. I never had a goal to come up big someday on UA-cam never ever ever ever in my wildest dreams, I just needed a place to post my videos and share the beautiful sites with the world.
Hello from Northern VT. Good to see you again for another winter season. Rain X deicer is great for keeping windshield from icing up. Stay safe
Jason, thank you for that my friend I appreciate it. I actually have some rain X but I don’t have the deicer one. That’s a really good idea. I didn’t realize they had that I can’t thank you and others on this channel enough for always giving me the best advice. I’m looking out for me. Thank you and I hope you guys in your part part of the country. Get some good beautiful snowfall Jason thanks again for being here, bro.
Finally something, good snow, great video!
Thanks Rubio.
Dude, trust me I know how you feel lol it’s been pathetic and now finally some of you guys are going to actually watch the damn time lapse lol because the time lapse is gonna be pretty good because of the storm but yeah thanks for watching man I appreciate your comment. It gives me a lot of hope and inspiration to continue doing what I do. I don’t ever see myself giving this up though.
In my country, the north part of Croatia in Europe we haven’t have real stuff snow for last 5 Years, which is pretty lame, cos usually in past we get every year good amount of snow. But, I’m happy for you Nick, and Thanks for updating.
@@rubio_one878 that is so cool you live in Croatia, my friend a lot of my favorite MMA fighters come from that part of the world and I’m surprised I thought that part of the world got a lot of snow
I really appreciate you being here, dude
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621
Yeah because we’re very small country, but at the same time we have Adriatic Sea (first thought for everyone) and lot of mountains, and at the north and east part a lot of flat parts which used to have real winters before.
Yeah, a lot of fighters, my favourite of all time is Mirko crocop.
@@rubio_one878 brother he is one of my all-time favorite fighters as well right kick hospital left kick cemetery
Dude, that guy was something special. The big fight that really disappointed me about him was the fight against Gabriel Gonzaga when Gabriel had kicked him and folded him. But I’m a huge fan. He was such a scary man in the K1 ring and the cage.
Nice work Nikk, thanks for sharing and keeping us posted.
Hey Zip it’s always my pleasure. This is so much fun for me. It really is so much fun for me.
1:41:24 Absolutely insane, of all places to park his truck 🤦♂️
And I guarantee you he wasn’t stuck. I guarantee you, because as I started trying to pull around him after I came to a stop he backed down a little bit to get out of my way. No problem he had an all-wheel-drive truck and really good tires for that type of weather that’s what irritated me the most, you never know if people are trying to pull insurance fraud lol
These are the knuckleheads that cause havoc during the season!
@@SHEEPHORNsummer haha yeah it was rough and I let my anger get a hold of me a little bit but because I knew that I had all of you with me it made me try to be the best example that I can be so I was really proud of how I reacted especially when it’s a big truck with great tires in these conditions and as I almost hit him and start driving around him, then he backs out a little bit and moves to the side a little bit moreso it’s just frustrating
At 1:30:05 , you say with the """LACK of SNOW all season.""". You do realize winter starts on Dec. 21. You are in LESS than 2 weeks into winter, I would say this is an AWESOME start to WINTER. I will be praying to keeps coming.
I’ve mentioned that a lot in the videos that we are only only 11 days into winter or 12 days something like that and last week when the snowstorm didn’t pan out to be what it was I kept on reminding people even though we got a late start we still have all winter ahead of us. I’m just referring to the fact that most years that I’ve been here we’ve had snow even in late October and good snowstorms in November and December so yeah we missed out on a few months that’s all I was referring to.
That is so awesome wow you are right beautiful ❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️
It really was gorgeous today. It made me really happy to drive through all this.
Nick you rock. Even when you don’t feel well you come out. Dedication and integrity, love you both!
Thank you Lucinda I will never stop doing this no matter how sick or bad I’m feeling it’s a passion and I will fight through whatever I’m going through to bring you guys this footage

Great to hear about the sponsorship 👍🏼 You deserve it all!
Wishing you smiles, sunshine, joyful adventures and mighty prosperity! 🙏🏼
Hey Shine well that’s really really nice of you to say that I appreciate it. I really do. I’ve been doing this for so many years working my butt off and finally getting a little bit of recognition from outside entities and thank you for the happy new year wishes. I wish you a very happy new year as well and thanks for being here with me and Sheri this experience I really appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.
those skiwarrior goggles sound so dope! def want to try em at some point 🙌
Sup Epic. I’m telling you what dude I couldn’t believe this company wanted to partner up with me. They’re the only one of about 50 other companies that I’ve actually decided to go with and promote them because this product is right up my alley. I wish you guys have seen all the big companies that have tried to work with me but I’m not gonna promote something I’m not passionate aboutand all these companies are doing is giving free stuff away to me for helping them out and some of them offer a commission if other people purchase the product but this product is right up my alley and I’m glad you liked it
Nice ride.....& slide. ❄️
Others just think about themselves & make it very dangerous!
Definitely, Bob and I have no idea what was going through his head. Maybe he was sliding towards the parked car in the driveway on the left-hand side and didn’t know what to do you never know, but I was just frustrated at the time and that’s something that happens up here a lot is people stopping in the middle of the road When we have snow, it truly boggles my mind.
Nikki! Great to be back with you again for the season!! Beautiful drive. You keep me connected to the area when I'm really hundreds of miles away Aooreciate you Man!
Hey Chris, my bro, it’s my pleasure dude I’m really glad that I can provide this for these situations man I really am happy thank you and I hope you’re having a wonderful day. Thanks for enjoying.
Hey Nick next time you go on a lakeside tour in the snow try a little K-Bong on your soundtrack!!
I’ll have to check that out Terry.
Nikk quite a bit of snow on your drive.it was clear down the hill. In the afternoon it was a little windy and cold. Take care Nikk.
Wow Craig, I’m surprised it was clear this storm wasn’t that big but for the short time it was here it definitely packed a punch and I thought that most of Southern California would’ve got hit pretty good. I hope you enjoyed the time lapse. Finally I hope people will actually watch the time lapse lol.
Happy you got some snow!
Had to take a drive to idyllwild to get a bucket of snow to bring back.
Stay safe!
What’s up Highrider. That’s so cool that you did that. I’ve made a couple trips all the way from the beach to the lake arrowhead area when I was a lot younger just to play in the snow for five minutes and then we would take a cooler of snow back home I miss those days.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 life's a trip right?
Wow, We need more days like this.. snow is fun but it’s also dangerous.. be careful up there Nikk
Very dangerous but also yes, extremely fun and he raptor. I am so tired I can’t even begin to tell you.
I enjoyed the ride-along immensely Nikk! Happy New Year to you and Rachel! Stay warm and safe out there!
Hey thanks Angie I really appreciate you and I hope you stay safe out there and beautiful Texas
Beautiful! Love it!!!
Thank you, Dawn. It really is so gorgeous.
Gosh, it looks so beautiful. I'm about at the 40 minute mark right now.
No way charm that is so cool that you’re checking out the whole video. I honestly never expect people to watch that much. That is so nice of you.
Beautiful up in moonridge, my favorite area of Big Bear. Nikk it's UNBELIEVABLE that someone would stop in the middle of the street facing cars coming downhill.
And definitely, the person wasn’t stuck. That’s what irritates me as soon as I got within a foot of him and my car finally stopped he backed up and turned the wheel a little bit to get out of my way so I could drive around him. It’s just so irritating. There was no reason for him to be there but I’m just trying to find something to whine about today lol.
Yay!!!! Happy to see this! Be careful though. Enjoy. 😊🙏❄☃️
Thank you flip-flop girl for looking out. I always do the best I can to stay as safe as I can but I want to put myself out there for you guys.
Always great to see your up to date snow report in Big Bear! Also, your tips on backroad traffic bypasses are off the hook awesome! Keep it up!
Hey my friend, thank you for that again I just really love doing this for you guys and I love giving you guys the best chance to have the best time possible when you come up here and sitting in traffic is not fun, so I will always be there for you guys and thank you again for your kind words.

I’m very grateful to have you here dragonnuts. Haha funny as heck user name
Nikk, the snow looks amazing and am so happy you're getting those endorsement opportunities! 😸🌨⛄
Wellesley it’s pretty cool and believe it or not I’ve had about 45 other companies want to collaborate over the past year and a half but I didn’t feel right promoting a company just to get a free product if I didn’t have a passion for it this company is right up my alleyreally glad you enjoy it. Thank you so much and I hope the weather in your neck of the woods is looking beautiful. I heard the Sierra’s got some really good snow.
😁Your funny Nikk, I wondered how long it would be for you to notice that license plate on the car in front of you (KWABNGA) it took you all the way from Foxfarm to the 38 split, and it was in front of you the whole way. Stay safe my friend and thanks for the great content.
Hahaha Joe. Was that car in front of me for that long? Lol that’s hilarious. Actually I do remember the car being in front of me but I didn’t look at the license plate at all and usually I’m paying attention to everything like that. I just think you guys had all my attention but yeah when I saw it I got really excited lol.
Lucky you. It i svery beautiful. We saw a storm that dumped over a foot in my city in November but it all melted already. Ever since no snow and we experienced a green Christmas for the first time in many years.
Robert that’s crazy man I wonder if that’s to do with the so-called El Niño happening I’m not buying into it at the moment but that’s what they say is going on out there even parts of Minnesota and South Dakota last week had temperatures in the 40s which is just unheard of this time of year
1:13:17 “yeah buddy “ I laughed so much 😂, love you man
Haha love you too bro I couldn’t remember which part you were talking about so I clicked on the number I had to rewind it a couple seconds but yeah that’s me bro in a nutshell
Oh man it looks freaking awesome!!! And these night time temps will help the resorts with snow making!!
Dude it is gonna get cold once every thing clears out a little bit later but this weekend my gosh dude we could get down in some parts of town to zero so I’m really excited if I feel like we’re gonna go below zero I’m gonna do a video of below zero hunting
Love your channel Nikk. Its the only good reliable weather watcher channel out there!! Plus its the only way I can experience snow since it was so warm back in Pennsylvania for the holidays this year. 50 degrees and mud is not christmas weather.
How’s it going Benjamin my brother thanks for the compliment man. I’m very honored I am very honored. And that’s a huge compliment. I appreciate it because about four years or so maybe five or six years after I started other people started literally copying exactly what I do and I found it flattering yet annoying at the same time it’s such a unique genre. I didn’t ever see any other UA-camrs doing the same thing that I’m doing maybe someone would drive in a storm once in a while, but not for every single storm before during an after, so I feel pretty unique and it’s very novel what I created and I’m very excited about it at first I didn’t think anything of it
I can’t believe you guys out there experiencing 50° weather that’s crazy in Pennsylvania. I thought it would be a lot colder this time of year. I even heard Montana and South Dakota and North Dakota are experiencing some warm temperatures but it’s just the way things happen last year we had record cold temperatures all over Southern California cold temperatures that blue the other records out of the water snow in areas that never ever see snow not even since I’ve been alive so it’s just the way it works but I hope you guys do snow
Thanks for the reply Nikk. The winters used to be much colder. There was always snow around christmas from lake effects snows. Now were Im from were lucky to have a few inches on the ground for christmas. Last year was crazy though. Especially for a la nina year. La ninas are normaly dryer in Southern California.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621
@@benjaminpalagonia2850 yes exactly right. And the good thing about the warmer weather is more people will survive on planet earth when it comes to harsh weather. The cold ends many many more lives than the heat annually. It’s a huge discrepancy but I’m not a fan of the cycle I’m
Thinking earth is going through. Because I love the snow. Again what gives me hope is all the record cold 🥶 annually giving me
Hope hahaha. Of course record heat all
Over the place as well but it’s funny how the large amounts of record cold and snow in places where it never snows is never reported as much as the heat. Never even close. So I do my due diligence to keep hope alive.
I will do my snow and cold dance for y’all to get back a good winter. I’ve always wanted to live in the way of like affect snow. Redfield
New York is a spot I’d love to live for a winter season.
Just keep the hope alive.
Even here when I was a kid visiting I remember it seemed like more snow back then.

I sometimes go back and watch your old videos and I love how raw your personality was when you had no intentions of building a channel you would say some very hilarious things 😂. But now that you have more eyes on you I definitely see why you stopped playing the music and even changed up the language you use since you have to evolve with your current situation but I hope you always stay true to yourself no matter how large you get ❄️
Wow, that’s crazy that you noticed. Those are the only two things that I’ve changed is I watch my language more and I don’t play music anymore. Wow, you really do watch and you have been watching for a long time that’s amazing. Thanks for watching the older videos those videos make me proud.
The last couple storms we would have gotten much less rain in Mentone, but for our microclimate. T storms developed over the mtns and we got em! I love to see the snow fall, especially when the fully formed flakes fall on my arms, I can see the forms. Have to find a peaceful cabin to stay in during the week soon in the mtns.
Juney dude. When you’re ready to come stay up here, let me know and I will give you the information of my partner who does all the merchandise for me. He has an Airbnb really close to Bear Mountain and it’s an awesome place if you go into my playlist and look at the sheep horn retreat, on the lodging you’ll get to see his place it’s got a Jacuzzi it’s a nice mountain cabin. I think you would dig it and he might even hook you up better since you’re a friend of of the channel so let me know when you’re planning on coming up here and I’ll hook you up with him
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621Thank you, watching sheep horn vid now.
Hi Nikk. It’s such a nice video that you have posted and it’s always amazing seeing you enjoying the snow. It’s fun seeing you evolve from old videos to now. In terms of the language and music. It brightens my day to see somebody care about your fans and you reply to everybody. Really appreciate you Nikk, be safe in this weather. I know you’re probably like last year was insane, this is nothing 😂
Oh this was absolutely nothing. This was like a snowflake lol compared to last year but once we get our first OK snowfall people get crazy up here the driving.
And thanks for taking notice to a lot of the or not a lot but just a couple of the major changes I’ve made I’m still the same person just more respectful when it comes to my language and I think that’s very important especially with so many children watching
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Haha right, just a dusting of snow. But yea, first snowfall of the season is chaos especially when people don’t get winter tires.
I absolutely loved those videos when you said some funny things. It is very important and you’re still the same person and you will always be. Have a good night
@@terryleung622 I agree Terry. To be a little more respectful when it comes to my use of words on the channel is not a bad thing to change which as you’ve seen over the past maybe five years or maybe a little bit more I really watched my mouth. I do have a sailor mouth for sureand I try not to be like that anymore because it’s not nice
@bigbearweatherandmore6621 It’s definitely not a bad thing. But change for the better. I’m glad you’re trying to do that right now
@@terryleung622 it definitely is a change for the better no question about it. I’ll never change who I am on the inside, but we all have I don’t wanna call it a character defect but we all have them and owning up to them and trying to change it is the right thing to do so thank you again for those supportive words because I am trying my best.
Love this time of year!! Hey Nikk stay safe and warm it’s supposed to drop to 7 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday. Love the vids man and stay safe
Hey there, Gonzalo. I’m excited about the cold coming. I’m thinking we might have a slight chance over near Baldwin to see 0° so I’m hoping we get there this weekend and happy new year to you my friend.

Nice to see you pumped for this snowfall! El nino years haven't been fun for the San Bernardino mountain range and the Sierra Nevadas.
Hey thanks bro I am super pumped about this. I know it’s not that much snow but compared to what we were supposed to get it’s a lot and we haven’t had anything this year for the most part so this was a nice surprise to get a little more than usual that’s probably once out of every hundred storms we will get a little bit more than expected, some of the weather forecast predict up to 6 inches but most of them said maybe an inch or two and I thought maybe about two
But yeah dude thank you and thanks for noticing how stoked I am.
I hope you have a happy new year, my brother, and thanks again for being here with me
And when it comes to the El Niño so in 1996 and 1997 I was still living where I grew up in Newport Beach and a friend of mine, and myself we drove up to Mammoth and I had never seen so much snow in my life, you couldn’t see the buildings or anything and they said it was one of the snowiest years they’ve ever had on record the 96 and 97 year and that was the biggest El Niño I’ve ever ever seen
When it comes to this area, El Niño is devastating. I’ve never been here for El Niño for a real one but I’m pretty certain because of the much warmer subtropical moisture mixing in since big bears usually on the snow and rain line. It’s gonna be mostly rain when we have an El Niño season and yes, that would be devastating for tourism devastating for the resorts .
And you know what I’ll bet it’s the same for Lake Tahoe as well really rainy as opposed to as much snow as usual, but Mammoth got absolutely plastered as I said you couldn’t see any buildings when you were driving into town it was unbelievable and I mean, basically, houses and businesses, of course some of the larger buildings you could see for sure, but you would turn down the street and it just looked like wall-to-wall snow
Do you think the El Niño is gonna actually pan out?
Ian that’s my brother’s name by the way but I’ve been experiencing for the nine years that I’ve lived here it seems like every year the meteorologists down the mountain are constantly saying that it looks like an El Niño is building and then it gets to a certain time of year when they’re so confident that the El Niño is going to happen, and nothing ever happens
That looks so nice and I know am not going this year to big bear again but it looks so nice
Hey, there, someone. I’m sorry you’re not gonna be able to make it but I hope I can bring Big Bear to you and continue doing what I’m doing to bring it closer to you.
You take care my friend
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 thanks I really want to go but I cant drive still lol and even if I could I would be scared going up the mountains
@@someoneyouheardof I’d like to start another business. Driving down to bottom and pick up folks who are afraid to drive up. It would be nice to do that. But I wouldn’t want to charge any of you therefor I’d go broke hahah.
What do I do ? 😂
Man I wish I was up there brother! Camping In snow is the best.
I’d like to do a video camping in the snow I think that would be awesome I want my wife and I to go do some camping in the snow I’m just not really good at doing stuff like that but I’ve always wanted to make videos like that
Wow Nick its looking beautiful up there thanks a lot for the update just got a air bnb and will be coming up there soon thanks to you
Congratulations on getting the Airbnb and I hope you have a great time when you come up here so check it out next time you wanna get an Airbnb my partner who’s doing all my merchandise and promos and commercials and stuff like that just the coolest dude ever he’s a rocket scientist during the day basically an aeronautical engineer and he has a property near Bear Mountain and I’m trying to help him out as much as I can by having people on this channel rent through him as a matter fact, in the lodging part of this channel I have a video of his place. It’s the place off of Sheephorn.
Thanks again for your kindness
I’ll be looking forward to it thanks a lot❤
@@AmeeroSaob thank you so much and just have a safe rest of your day
Dude! About dang time, right?!?
Kosmo seriously it’s ridiculous that it took this long and still this is nothing but compared to what we’ve received. It’s like the blizzard of the century lol.
Nice. It’s looks like you have more coming at 3:00. Just briefly.
Yes, I’m seeing that on the radar as well. It’s not looking like much but anything is better than nothing.
And then this weekend unfortunately, it showed about eight days ago we could get up to 3 feet of snow maybe if everything worked out properly and now we’re not even gonna get an inch probably Saturday night into Sunday
What camera do you use? Love your videos by the way. Keep em coming
How’s it going Youngblood? I love your username and I appreciate your kind words so to answer your question you’re gonna laugh but I’m using my iPhone 12+ pro and then for my regular phone that I use I use my 13 but yes for the past year and a half I’ve been using the iPhone 12 plus Pro and before that it was my iPhone 11+ Pro lol, some videos very rarely I will use my new GoPro
Damn! that was close! That was all bad! lol
Haha. Totally. I know it didn’t look all that bad because it was such a slow moving situation but I just couldn’t believe it how that guy just parked right in the middle and you saw his truck correct? And you saw the tires correct? There wasn’t that much snow and he wasn’t stuck because right after I almost hit him and then started driving around him. Once I got control again he backed out a little bit and turned his steering wheel to give me a little more room so it was just so frustrating that he just sat there as I’m honking like 15 timesmaking it clear that I’m not stopping. Just so irritating.
Awesome exciting video Nikk, thanks for being so positive - as always. How's the forecast looking up there?
My brother Paul it’s good to hear from you bro thank you for always being positive kind and generous with love and respect you show me
Well, it looks like we have a couple days break in the weather and Saturday night into Sunday. We could get some more snow not more than an inch though.
Again, good to hear from you, Paul
I love it there, I miss the snow and those disappearing cars man. I'd love to see that happen agand look at that snow, I love, it's been a long time since I've seen it up there in the snow. But back when we were kids, we would be going up the Hill and we couldn't wait to see the cars coming down the Hill that have all the snow on top . So when we get ready to leave, we would pile the snow on the car and see how long it with last as we are going home. Mostly just gone by the time we got home, but it was just fun. Oh yes, on the chains. I remember my dad having to pull over and put them on the car. We haven't even got any snow where we're at right now in upstate, New york. It's law, isn't it? If you have more than 5 cars behind you, or is it 10, you have to pull over? I remember used to be a law. Be safe. Thanks for the video. You know having a place there my whole life, you know more about the area than I ever did.
Hey Jen. Great to hear from you today my friend and it’s funny that you mentioned being excited when you would see the cars driving down the mountain with snow that was something that always made me really happy and especially driving back on the 91 freeway when we had big snowstorms up here when we would visit And seeing cars in RIVERSIDE with a bunch of snow on them still that was so cool
I don’t know exactly how many people supposed to be behind you before you’re legally supposed to pull over and let people pass but yes it’s just a few
@bigbearweatherandmore6621 it's so funny all the memories of being a kid in Big Bear. Caught my first fish in BBL. And kissed my first fish there as well ( I was 1 I have pictures to prove it lol)
@@jensme1 hahaha that is so beautiful. Isn’t it horrible that we have to get older
@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Most people won't even acknowledge you anymore. When we went up the last time, my dad usually always wave and flashed his bli kers, but I noticed he doesn't anymore because he heard about some road rage thing up there. I don't blame him he's 88.
Memories of the late 70s all of the 80s till I had a baby day after grad.
Dad would give us money and drop us in the village for an our or so so we could by knick knacks. I love it when you drive and i see Brown Bear gift shop that was my favorite store. I wanna thank you I have severe depression especially in the winter. I see your videos either I cry cause I'm homesick and yes you can still be home sick 40yrs later.
Or cuddle up in my blanket and yell at you to be careful or seeing familiar places 7 11 I had to have slurpee memories. I remember when there was no schools or hospitals there was q grocery stor I think it was stater bros.
And Kmart yeah I'm old. No body really decided yr round I remember parties my grandparent to host for our moonridge friends
Things have changed once it be came popular in movies and games!
Too long I'm sorry nobody here really cares what I talk about. That's why when your on I can tell you. You've made a big difference in me where my mental health comes in...ok done now.
@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yup whenever you start talking to a guy on the TV, turn there go there. lol
Hey Nik! Be careful! Great video!
Thanks Gianni and a friend of mine in Lake arrowhead sent me some pictures of the snow early this morning so I’m really happy for you my friend. I hope you’re enjoying it. I bet a lot of it melted already but I hope you enjoyed what you guys got.
Haha! I sure did enjoy it while it lasted, melted by noon😢! Oh well! Happy to see you got a bunch of snow! ❄️ ⛄️
@@GianniOrtolano yeah but it’s gonna be gone real soon. Maybe not as soon as I think though because we do have some extreme cold coming in the next couple days you guys should get hit with that also.
Nothin like a flat lander (just assuming hehe) to cause accidents cause driving in snow is - to be fair- very sketch! Caltrans needs to give them instructions on safe driving tips when it snows, maybe a few locals too lol. Glad you avoided that!! 😥 that was scary. thanks for taking the risk to drive!! Snows so much more in BBL than BBC wow 👍🏽
Hey D. Isn’t it crazy how much different the amount of snow is when you go further into Big Bear city as opposed to Big Bear Lake? At first I was shocked and I thought it was just an anomaly but after doing this for 9+ years it’s a regular thing.
And yes, guarantee you that was a flatlander for sure but he gets a pass since no one got hurt but he’s very lucky because I have a dash cam and he would’ve been responsible for just sitting in the middle of the road so I’m glad everything was OK and you are correct even locals some need to learn how to maneuver in the snow as well. It really isn’t that easy it takes a little getting used to and if the conditions are just right, it’ll be just icy enough where it doesn’t matter what type of tires or vehicle or chains you have you’re gonna slide.
Turning right on moonridge, my car slid across the entire intersection right into the curb by Walgreens. Caused like $18K in damage...
Wes no way bro. Dude that’s crazy. That’s where you slid out. That’s happened to me before a few years back and I almost went all the way across the whole way as well. I can’t believe that caused that much damage man I am so sorry to hear that ultimately I’m glad you’re OK but 18,000 and damage from sliding your car into a curb to that’s gnarly, again I’m really glad you’re OK and happy new year to you bro
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yeah i was surprised it slid across the entire intersection.. It's allot of space. Anyway, love to watch your vids to keep up on what happening up there. We have a cottage on Willow... Very close to you.
@@wesleyr oh yeah I know where Willow is in Moonridge right there. That’s a great location. If you’re a golfer, it makes it even better. You can just walk to the driving range. It’s pretty great. but again I’m glad you’re OK. Wes that huge amount of damage is mind blowing.
If you like K-bong try the Elevators/Roll up song. and the Hip Addiction.
Thanks Terry
Very pretty!
What is learned watching Nikk drive in snow...
- 'Hey guys! Come on up, we want tourists!' (Except when Nikk is out driving, because traffic is a pain! 😂)
- Although I'm not a fan of punk, your friend has a cool voice. I didn't catch his name, so can't search.
- 🎵 New earworm "Snowblind" by Styx.
-Yes, indeed. If you didn't watch last year, it really does snow more at the dam end! ("Watch your language!" "Hey, I spelled it the other way!")
- Audio out of sync around 53 mins... Weird.
- Traffic sux!
- Snow socks for tires? Are they knitted out of wool? (wah wah waaah. Bad joke!)
- Yay! Audio back in sync after a quick video edit, or glitch!
- Get outa the road, kids...
Kids? Some of those are adults!
- Helping Nikk by pushing an invisible brake that is not on my floor. 😂
- 🎵 Slip-slidin' awaaaayy🎶 (Paul Simon).. Glad you were able to stop! Geez. People. I read the comments first, so I knew this was coming up. Figured you got home ok, since the video got uploaded!
😊
Hahaha you are hilarious Nutti.
And his name is Jeffrey Dean. I don’t know if you had the ab to hit the rewind button a little bit lol but his name is Jeffrey Dean and I completely completely forgot you’re absolutely right to put any information in the video about his song. He’s definitely not punk rock music. It’s the complete opposite of punk rock music. He’s pretty good stuff as well. Believe it or not a lot of my favorite music is classical music like classical singers, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, other people like that.
It’s Jeffrey Dean music on UA-cam. He’s got amazing music. It blows me away. It’s so good I know the words to a lot of his songs and usually I don’t know someone who’s that close to me whose music inspires me as much as his so I was very privileged to get to know him.
Yes, everyone needs to come up and visit. We need everyone here just not when I’m on the road. Lol. Hopefully seeing how horrible other people drive up here allows people to really get mentally prepared for entering the bumper car zone
I never got into the Styx. Was never into that type of music even though all my older siblings absolutely loved that band growing up it was mostly stuff like Guns N’ Roses, and metallica and Faith No More and stuff like that until I was in my young teens. Then punk rock and reggae, took over.
Anyway, nutty it’s good to hear from you. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your evening and a very happy new year and Jeffrey would be very proud for you to check out his UA-cam channel called Jeffrey Dean music.
I think he would enjoy it. He has some really good songs.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Thanks, Nikk! I'll look him up. I can rewind, but my ears were not sure if it's Bean, Green, Dean...? I know a lot of musical people, so it's fun to listen to new ones if I like their style. A band I know was playing at 572 Social Kitchen a lot last year (mostly summer). As in, I know the lead singers for real. I think you'd like them. They do 70s, 80s, 90s etc, mix. Guns n Roses had one or two I liked. I'm probably into older stuff than your older siblings! Haha. Try Styx out again, sometimes taste expands with age!
@@nutti2you380 trust me I know my music wasn’t for the weak of heart. My parents hated my music. And I was totally just joshing with you about the rewind thing. I hope you got that.
Nutti your awesome.
I bet I’d like The Styx today. For me it’s something I’m sure would be great. I will play some on my Apple Music
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Me and your parents probably like the same stuff! LOL. Many musicians are very good, but I still might not like their genre of choice. I checked out Jeffrey Dean music. Did you know there's also a Jeffrey Dean Morgan music? A bit confusing. I think I found the correct one. But give me a title to make sure? I knew you are joshing about the rewind. But truth, my ears can't always distinguish between sound-alike words. Like spelling on the phone, is that S or F? Styx isn't the heaviest of metal, but isn't easy listening either. "Paradise Theater" is a great album.
@@nutti2you380
No, I agree with you 100%. I’m a fan of talent of talented musicians, but I might not like the music that they play. I’m right there with you. We are people who appreciate talented people.
Coming up next week Nikk, do I need snow chains? Again thank you for giving us so much good information.
Hey Lyn. So I’m not able to let you know for sure until the actual time you’re gonna be coming up we never know but I will definitely keep everyone posted whenever we have a storm coming through. I will always post what the road conditions are on the community post. So just stay tuned and contact me the closer you get to coming up here so I can do the best I can but usually I wouldn’t know what they’re gonna do for the roads The unless it’s the day that you’re coming up then I can get a better idea if we have snow within a few hours of you driving up there’s a good chance you’ll need them and I always suggest that you put tired chains in your trunk anyway just in case, it’s a sense of protection and peace of mind
I hope you guys have a great time when you get here don’t forget stay in touch. If you have any more questions especially the closer we get towards the time you guys are coming.
I ordered tire chains just in case even though ive AWD and W/S tires since theres ppssible snow sunday morning.
Jey J Flores I really think you made the right decision because your safety Hass to be paramount and it’s gonna give you more confidence driving these roads as well. I just want you to be safe and I’m really glad you chose to do that. Have a blast when you get here.
Hey great video! I had just a quick question, do you protect the underbody of your car? In terms of spraying fluid film, etc. when they put salt down on the roads?
Thanks.
Wow, that’s a great question and honestly I feel very pathetic for saying this but I haven’t really thought about doing that and since you mentioned it, I know that I’m missing out big-time. I should be doing that. Thank you for bringing that up. I would’ve never thought about it and it’s so important because I know I can absolutely kill the life of my vehicle.
I hope you’re having a great day, my friend
Finally, hopefully this will happen every week from now till spring.
Wouldn’t that be awesome if it did, I wish it did. We do have a tiny little system coming in over the weekend which was supposed to be a really big storm about 10 days ago it was saying we could get up to 3 feet of snow if everything worked out and now we might not even get an inch of snow lol.
That looks like a lot of snow you got there I hope you stay safe and I heard that you guys will get more snow next week I’m the forecast but nice keeping this bro 😎
Hey Manny, thank you so much bro I appreciate that very much. I always do the best I can for you guys and yes it looks like a little more snow this weekend but as it gets closer it’s showing less and less snow. I’m very disappointed.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621that good I keep looking up big bear weather storm we got some rain down here I hope you guys get a lot of snow and you’re Channel is awesome 👍😀
@@MrcreeperOG Manny my bro thanks again dude you’re very awesome. I’m really happy to have you here with me. We have such a cool community of people here and I’ll always be doing what I do when it comes to the channel right now I am beyond tired I didn’t sleep last night at alland I’ve been up doing this since about six. I didn’t go to sleep till about four, but I didn’t really sleep so now I’m just trying to make sure I respond to all my friends here and then take a little bit of a nap.
Hey Nick! We're heading up in a few hours. Caltrans is showing that chains are no longer required.. Can you please confirm?
That is correct at the moment. No tire chains are required. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
If you need immediate assistance with that, go to the Caltrans website on your phone it’s really easy on the top right or top left. There’s four lines you’ll click on the four lines or three lines and it’s a drop-down menu and a few options down below is road conditions, and in the box you can type in all three road Road numbers putting a space in between each of them. It will Populate all three of our major highways, which is Highway 330 Highway 38 and Highway 18 and it’s instant information
Have a trip planned out for the 12th, kinda feel embarrassed to ask but i have a 23 taco offroad 4x4 and a/t triple peak snow rated tires i dont think i need chains but what is your opinion was debating about pulling the trigger on some on amazon lol, thanks for your videos enjoying the content.
Mauricio that’s a great question dude and sorry it took so long to get back to you
So if you have a four-wheel-drive truck and you have actual snow rated tires, not just winter tires or all season tires, but snow specific tires in most cases are not gonna make you put on tire chains most of the time you’ll already have the requirement, but I know they like to know that people have the tire chains anyway so what I would suggest just to keep yourself extra safe and not have to be inconvenienced in anyway, if you have a few extra bucks to buy some nice tire chains, you might as well do it, and just keep them in the truck for eternity I know it’s a purchase you’re probably not gonna have to use but I know you’ll feel really good knowing you have them just in case even in you’re awesome truck you do have issues
I don’t know honestly, as I said, if you’re able to afford some chains even though you’re probably not gonna ever use them I would still do it it’s definitely worthwhile
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 thanks for the reply Nikk I appreciate it very much, that’s what the wife is suggesting better to have them and not need them then need them and not have them. Thank you again for the response and your videos we appreciate them!
@@mauricioserratotechtravelvlog yeah dude it’s really important. Make sure you have tire chains always I just strongly suggested and as I said if you can afford them, it’s definitely worth the peace of mind.
