Powerful winter weather caused heavy snowfall and piercing temperatures across several states on the West Coast. READ MORE: abcn.ws/32xd5ep #ABCNews #Snow #Weather
70f in central Arkansas Christmas day. The tail of this will probably swing through in a few days. We'll go from 70 to 20 get some snow for a day on warm ground.
It's so sad to see people out over the mountain passes that are just not equipped. People that have no experience driving in the snow need to stay home.
@@nate7828 They should not travel across the mountains. Adults that have no experience driving over mountain passes should take extra driving classes or just stay off of the road.

My area of California has been getting fog, rain, dark skies and cold temperatures. I told my grandson...this is the type of winters I had as a kid. This is a real December. He said, I don't like this, I want spring😂😂
@@lindawilliams747; I always thought it was an inch of water to a foot of snow, actually it is not even an inch as temperature plays a big part when the snow is falling.
Snow pack provides. better long term storage form of water, since the reservoirs can only hold so much at once. We need both in the west, and it looks like we will get both this winter.
This used to be normal in the 60s and 70s. They make a big deal out of it now. But people back then had common sense not to go up there until a few days after the storms passed.
@@gamingtonight1526 you need to get your politicians out of office and reverse the lawn and crop watering laws before you start having an impact on the Summer droughts.
Stop calling normal winter snow "dangerous", stop the CONSTANT FEARMONGERING. It's December, if you're not ready for snow you shouldn't be allowed in public in the first place.....
@@christianc5161 See I kinda get what you mean but that humidity mixed with the high heat and the bugs is not pleasant either. San Diego area has that perfect Mediterranean-like warm weather. To each their own though.
Growing up in Lake Tahoe in the 60's - 80's I remember snow bases of over 10' and snow pack at over 13'. This was very common. Seems like a Return to normal if you ask me.
@Matrixnukum If you look up the snow fall totals between 1965 - 2019 I think you will see that this is average accumulation and not even close to record breaking. Ridding a chair lift at Squaw Valley with built up snow pack on each side of the lift as high as the chairs and cleared enough that your skis don't drag on the way up.. Those were the days... lol
Living in California, I don’t mind it at all. I love it. Its always sunny in California and getting tired of the hot weather so I’m grateful and not jealous 😂 our November was warm so it’s ok. We need to as much as s mow to avoid fires and drought
@@sajforever7865 yes that’s right. I’m here in Davis CA, about 50 miles west of the snowed in place. Winter ❄️ is nice for a few months because it’s sunny ☀️ majority of the time here.

The snowfalls seem to me like answers to prayers for the water tables to be replenished. If you live in the mountains---I hope you've got brains enough to have a plentiful food supply in case of emergencies, as well as some form of back up for heat when the power goes out. Enjoy the beauty!
exactly my thoughts! & perfect time of the year, a wonderful white christmas, along with a year of water security. What a wonderful christmas present from mother nature!
Why won't they use salt? It's a NATURAL substance that works, salmon aren't affected due to the fact that they go to the 'SALTY' sea, same with trout, so what are they 'protecting?' by not using salt?
R.I.P. EVERYONE wanted to help, but the impacted-by, record-breaking snow levels proved impossible for hundreds of first-responders and generous, determined volunteers to do the impossible -- save him. While clearly IN NO WAY does this comfort the stunned, grieving immediate family, relatives, friends, colleagues and other loved ones, the sportsman died doing something he cherished and lived for -- not unlike the surfer at Morro Bay who was fatally attacked by the great, white shark last week. As stunningly beautiful and bountiful as Mother Nature is, e.g., the mountains and the sea, there are these rare times when Mother Nature turns on us. Yet statistically, the numbers pale in comparison to death caused by the usual suspects: deadly illnesses, fatal diseases, deadly accidents, fatal wounds from acts of violence and suicide brought on by insurmountable physical and emotional suffering.
Não sabia que vocês precisavam da neve para possuir água, é cada país com suas necessidades, Brasil é chuva que faz falta, é lógico que chuva com controle,sem desastres.
I know what looks disastrous but this is a blessing in disguise for California if you ask me it's water although it's frozen it'll melt and it will help somewhat with the drought conditions
snow is way better than rain for fixing droughts! Rain runs off the dry land, taking all the top soil with it. Snow slowly melts into it, making every drop of water count! Last time we got snow in the west of NSW Australia, it was only a thin layer, enough for the frost to cause a lot of death of plants, but the joy was overwhelming, cause that 1mm of water was going to be fully absorbed into the soil, having the impact 5 times as much rain would have had. I'm shocked at how negatively this is being reported when it's such a blessing!
Dude, you're living in luxury in the same conditions that killed the Donner Party! Unless you're going to have to eat a family member, y'all going to be fine.
I moved from Illinois to Washington and I can confirm that they weren't prepared at all. No business was open besides big chain names, but roads weren't salted (as of right now still not well to drive in but better than the 3 days ago) and many cars were left on the side of the road. Be safe out there. If you can't find salt, just use cat litter to melt the ice and don't go out unless you absolutely must
@@dulcepolivka8266 yes it will give you traction but there isn’t any chemical in cat litter to melt ice. Also, Portland isn’t prepared either. They just can’t justify spending that kind of money for all the salt and the trucks for maybe one week of snow
@@marknesbit2809 it even snow at San Diego, well most in the mount Laguna area but so far no big snow right now over here If your at the coast it only take an hour and a half, more if traffic
your thinking of south California and we don’t usually get bad weather but not always clear sunny sky, I remember it was warm and sunny at work and when I was off to go to La Jolla shore for a swim…it was cloudy and windy…
I love all this talk by the media about a “dangerous blast of winter” Would you rather go back to “deadly wildfires and droughts” ? It’s literally the middle of winter and you idiots are shocked and surprised that it’s snowing in the mountains ! How horrible that someones car got snow on it ! I don’t know how we will ever recover from this !
why the horror & fear? No wonder you're all miserable in America with this sort of reporting! If this was Australia, we'd be reporting with huge excitement about the once in a lifetime snow & "White Christmas" & how it was going to lead to so much more water to avoid droughts next spring & our reporters would be out there finding kids having snowball fights & playing in the snow, with big smiling, laughing faces & we'd be celebrating a wonderful Christmas. How do you turn something so joyous into such a disaster on your news???? That's just depressing how badly you're reporting such a wonderful event!
Sub zero temperatures and horrible accidents from dangerous road conditions … yeah I saw many many bad accidents yesterday here in Montana because all these people who came from states with no snow.. it’s not all so romantic .
So true! Our (US) media is fear-based, hysteria, anxiety-ridden newscasts. I'm hear in WA w/ -9 temps atm and enjoying every bit of the snow. If ppl prepare & learn how to drive in snow/ice, not panic or stay put until safe, there'd be less accidents. 🤷♀️ Yahoo!! ☃️ That's why I watch Sky-nine-Aussies got it right, mate. 🙋♀️👌❄
@@craftsandcats12 It's what you make it! If you report it with fear, people will drive with fear in their hearts, if you report it with joy, people will drive slower so as to really take in what's around them & maybe they can even jump out of the cars & have some snowball fights :) I remember as a kid being bundled up & put in the car & driven on the 2 hour journey to where it had just snowed, took 5 hours to get there cause everyone else was doing the same thing & the majority of that time all we were looking at was the backs of other cars & by the time we arrived, almost all the snow had melted, but we found a few small sections of it in ditches near some backroads & got out & built a little snowman & felt & ate the snow (probably not the smartest idea lol) then we bundled back into the car & had never enjoyed the little car heater more! Geez it was cold - and wet! I mean it's probably obvious but I never realised snow was wet until then lol very very cold, but worth it :) Life's what you make it
@@AlexEs63 Awesome :) Did you get a "White Christmas" too? If not, it was close enough to Christmas to feel like it I'm sure. Great you're able to enjoy it, it gives me hope :)) btw sky's kinda our version of fox, so not sure I could recommend that lol but I think all ours know, at least to some extent, they need to be positive or we'll just switch off in disgust
This isn't a once in a lifetime event though...People deal with this just about every year. The reporting is to hopefully keep unprepared people out of the area.
I’m still waiting for a snowstorm here in Pennsylvania 😭 all we saw so far 2 months into the cold season was an inch and it all melted 2 hours later. I hate climate change!!!
Be advised, beware, and be prepared for more 150mp winds in Colorado and New Mexico, massive snow up into Iowa with wind chill temps as cold as 30 below. More tornadoes to be expected a bit more southeast as well. The southwest's summer temps will also drop into norms, but we've enjoyed the high 70's and low 80's. (The winds have been awful though.) Expect this going into the New Year. Warn your families who may be affected by a ton of snow, ice, rain/flooding, and/or tornadoes.. Stay safe.
Dear brothers and sisters, I am not going to mince words, but you are one of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Hidden behind coalitions, governments, traditions etc. When y'all ready, not now, but later when you can accept that the book actually had been heavily modified and that is why our Heavenly Parent is desperately trying to warn us. He wishes this upon no one. But because we repeatedly break the Ten Commandments. The only thing the bible is, is a Roman product filtered through by Constantine and the council he set up, while also handily changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, because they were a Sunday Sun worshipping, Greek gods infatuating pagan nation. How could anyone in power stand their own being converted to some "random" from Nazareth? (To put yourself in Constantine's mind). Just like a CD has a music order and its artists. So does the bible has its books and its writers. But the writers did not write for the bible. The prophets and the judges only wrote for their times. For the bible was only amalgamated around the year 325 AD with Authentic Jewish sources with prophecies that had come true, and the Master’s with the 12’s, and then “Apostle” Paul, the 13th. It did not fall from the sky, nor did "God" ever vowed to protect a man-made book made to relax His Laws and Commandments with paul's ridiculousness. A Man made book put together by Rome, corrupted and sold for money, with obviously stolen and incredible articulations within to appeal to the Goodness in us, but the tyranny available for authorities to abuse, namely Paul's epistles. None other, who else feels like paul in the bible, no one else, he seems to be the be all end all. Everything is permissible he says, tell that to Eve when she was about to eat the fruit in front of everyone who had ever been alive and they would slap Paul silly putting us through thousands of years of trouble and tribulations. (Eve was not told the Commandment not to eat, Women has the divine Gift of calling out the good in men from all the evil nature in him it is recorded in other literature that has “Jesus’s” quotes). The only thing that converted Romans faster than an earlier Iphone advert telling you the next one is better were healing miracles by faith, and somethings else the Apostles did to achieve healing miracles no one in church does today. That is why the bible was put together, this order of books, Genesis to Malachi, Matthew to Revelations. This order of books specifically, is of Roman origin. Especially the latter end, The New Testament, with paul's epistles. The bible logically should had been made by the Hebrews, the Jews, it is not!!! The only defining thing that says the Savior is with a group of people or someone, is of righteous behaviors, with faith prayer based healing miracles that accompany them. None of the churches today has any healing miracles, everyone is doing lip service on Sunday about how much they love "Jesus" like they are singing a song, then goes back to completely being in a forgetful state from Monday to Saturday. Read the Gospel of the Nazirenes, also known as the Gospel of the Holy 12. Gives you a definite answer on why there are hardly any healing miracles in the world today because of the heathen state we had fallen in. Read how it was found in 1870's, read how it was quoted by all the early church leaders and apostles, then later hidden in Tibet for almost 1700 years because Rome did not like the amount of people building up a new religion in front of their Greek God infatuation. The top brass will see an "anarchy" coming, if you understand power you will understand this corruption.
If it helps, you pretend you found the documents online as if you found it in a lost cave and obviously it resonates with a much complete and higher moral teachings. For example, Yeshua whom they gave the name "Jesus Christ", who was Hebrew, was kind to Man/Woman and Animals. Thou shall not kill doesn't only mean humans, Father didn't make the Animals half heartedly, if you made the animals, how would you feel if you saw me slaughtering them and chewing them with our teeth but you cannot intervene willy nilly because it is Freewill till Judgement Day?
2 days ago it was just under 80 deg. here in Flint Texas. Got so warm in the house I actually turned the A/C on for about 20 min. That night a "front" moved in. By 3 in the morning it was 24 deg. Quite a change

It’s warm in the east and cold in the west. Eastern half of country currently feels like spring. Deep freeze in the west
Honestly, here in Missouri it felt like spring on Christmas. I honestly hate it, I LOVE my white winter Christmas’.
Meanwhile here in minnesota we're having fucking -40 and almost -50
@@remizu2901 Don't feel bad, winter is back here now!
Stay at home. It's not hard to do.
Not that I don't care about people's lives in those regions. But Reality Check we NEED 100X MORE SNOW THAN THIS TO END THE DROUGHT
Can we yell at the west coast for not being prepared for snow just like how they complained about Texas not being prepared for snow?
💯🎯
....and in the great lakes, Canada, it's practically spring!
I live in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. And its minus 30 celcus here. Never gets this cold. Hope everyone's is safe
I have friends in Peachland, and every year we hear how they're out playing badminton for boxing day.
Different call this year lol. Stay warm!
christoper robin...I live four hours away from you and I live in Castlegar and its -12 here and...wow yours is -30 and thats freakin cold!!
@@taniaberg1680 I live in minnesota and just a few days ago we had temps below -40°C or -40°F
Such heavy snow will never be in Middle east 😎
COME ON MAN hope you are catching all that water for the next years totals
GOOD! Keep it out that way. I'm from Cleveland & nothing yet. 👏👏👏👏😁
Meanwhile I'm wearning shorts and a flannel out here in Indy. Dec 27th, it's 64 degrees. I wore shorts on Christmas Day too, it was weird.
64 degrees is freezing. Lol I'm so cold natured. I would survive in cold weather.
@@linglang7322 stay well, friend.
yea this weather is so suspicious in AZ, no thunder, no lightning and foggy mornings, and the "mist" does not leave when the sun comes out?
why the horror & fear?
No wonder you're all miserable in America with this sort of reporting!
If this was Australia, we'd be reporting with huge excitement about the once in a lifetime snow & "White Christmas" & how it was going to lead to so much more water to avoid droughts next spring & our reporters would be out there finding kids having snowball fights & playing in the snow, with big smiling, laughing faces & we'd be celebrating a wonderful Christmas.
How do you turn something so joyous into such a disaster on your news???? That's just depressing how badly you're reporting such a wonderful event!
Sub zero temperatures and horrible accidents from dangerous road conditions … yeah I saw many many bad accidents yesterday here in Montana because all these people who came from states with no snow.. it’s not all so romantic .
So true! Our (US) media is fear-based, hysteria, anxiety-ridden newscasts. I'm hear in WA w/ -9 temps atm and enjoying every bit of the snow. If ppl prepare & learn how to drive in snow/ice, not panic or stay put until safe, there'd be less accidents. 🤷♀️
Yahoo!! ☃️
That's why I watch Sky-nine-Aussies got it right, mate. 🙋♀️👌❄
@@craftsandcats12 It's what you make it! If you report it with fear, people will drive with fear in their hearts, if you report it with joy, people will drive slower so as to really take in what's around them & maybe they can even jump out of the cars & have some snowball fights :) I remember as a kid being bundled up & put in the car & driven on the 2 hour journey to where it had just snowed, took 5 hours to get there cause everyone else was doing the same thing & the majority of that time all we were looking at was the backs of other cars & by the time we arrived, almost all the snow had melted, but we found a few small sections of it in ditches near some backroads & got out & built a little snowman & felt & ate the snow (probably not the smartest idea lol) then we bundled back into the car & had never enjoyed the little car heater more! Geez it was cold - and wet! I mean it's probably obvious but I never realised snow was wet until then lol very very cold, but worth it :) Life's what you make it
@@AlexEs63 Awesome :) Did you get a "White Christmas" too? If not, it was close enough to Christmas to feel like it I'm sure. Great you're able to enjoy it, it gives me hope :))
btw sky's kinda our version of fox, so not sure I could recommend that lol but I think all ours know, at least to some extent, they need to be positive or we'll just switch off in disgust
This isn't a once in a lifetime event though...People deal with this just about every year. The reporting is to hopefully keep unprepared people out of the area.
This is what people from the Midwest call "a dusting" for a reason...
Look how pretty the snow is, just relax and enjoy, not so bad,looks like Michigan when we get snow.Remember, it will melt ,chill out.❄️☃️
Just like the Christmas song, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It’s a totally different story when u have to drive through it to get to work.
That is actually a blessing
Holy cow! That weather is snow joke!
This young guy hasn't seen Sierra snow. One night in 1970, we had 7 feet.
Yeah
Feels like mid fall here in the midwest there r somedays its hitting high 60s or 70s
I know right! I love in VIRGINIA and on this whole week and Christmas was 60 and 70
I’m still waiting for a snowstorm here in Pennsylvania 😭 all we saw so far 2 months into the cold season was an inch and it all melted 2 hours later.
I hate climate change!!!
bro that snow should be in the Eastern US, Climate change ruined everything
This is normal for the mountains
Naw them weather machines changed everything
People will fall for anything these days. This is a NORMAL storm for this area.
Now that's a snow. The East coast had that last year now the West is getting hit

Be advised, beware, and be prepared for more 150mp winds in Colorado and New Mexico, massive snow up into Iowa with wind chill temps as cold as 30 below. More tornadoes to be expected a bit more southeast as well. The southwest's summer temps will also drop into norms, but we've enjoyed the high 70's and low 80's. (The winds have been awful though.) Expect this going into the New Year. Warn your families who may be affected by a ton of snow, ice, rain/flooding, and/or tornadoes.. Stay safe.
We need to REPENT!
That’s the only safety!
HAARP!
Thank you for the info
FEAR!!! (and loathing)
Dear brothers and sisters, I am not going to mince words, but you are one of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Hidden behind coalitions, governments, traditions etc.
When y'all ready, not now, but later when you can accept that the book actually had been heavily modified and that is why our Heavenly Parent is desperately trying to warn us. He wishes this upon no one. But because we repeatedly break the Ten Commandments.
The only thing the bible is, is a Roman product filtered through by Constantine and the council he set up, while also handily changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, because they were a Sunday Sun worshipping, Greek gods infatuating pagan nation. How could anyone in power stand their own being converted to some "random" from Nazareth? (To put yourself in Constantine's mind).
Just like a CD has a music order and its artists. So does the bible has its books and its writers. But the writers did not write for the bible. The prophets and the judges only wrote for their times. For the bible was only amalgamated around the year 325 AD with Authentic Jewish sources with prophecies that had come true, and the Master’s with the 12’s, and then “Apostle” Paul, the 13th.
It did not fall from the sky, nor did "God" ever vowed to protect a man-made book made to relax His Laws and Commandments with paul's ridiculousness. A Man made book put together by Rome, corrupted and sold for money, with obviously stolen and incredible articulations within to appeal to the Goodness in us, but the tyranny available for authorities to abuse, namely Paul's epistles.
None other, who else feels like paul in the bible, no one else, he seems to be the be all end all. Everything is permissible he says, tell that to Eve when she was about to eat the fruit in front of everyone who had ever been alive and they would slap Paul silly putting us through thousands of years of trouble and tribulations. (Eve was not told the Commandment not to eat, Women has the divine Gift of calling out the good in men from all the evil nature in him it is recorded in other literature that has “Jesus’s” quotes).
The only thing that converted Romans faster than an earlier Iphone advert telling you the next one is better were healing miracles by faith, and somethings else the Apostles did to achieve healing miracles no one in church does today. That is why the bible was put together, this order of books, Genesis to Malachi, Matthew to Revelations. This order of books specifically, is of Roman origin. Especially the latter end, The New Testament, with paul's epistles. The bible logically should had been made by the Hebrews, the Jews, it is not!!!
The only defining thing that says the Savior is with a group of people or someone, is of righteous behaviors, with faith prayer based healing miracles that accompany them. None of the churches today has any healing miracles, everyone is doing lip service on Sunday about how much they love "Jesus" like they are singing a song, then goes back to completely being in a forgetful state from Monday to Saturday. Read the Gospel of the Nazirenes, also known as the Gospel of the Holy 12. Gives you a definite answer on why there are hardly any healing miracles in the world today because of the heathen state we had fallen in. Read how it was found in 1870's, read how it was quoted by all the early church leaders and apostles, then later hidden in Tibet for almost 1700 years because Rome did not like the amount of people building up a new religion in front of their Greek God infatuation. The top brass will see an "anarchy" coming, if you understand power you will understand this corruption.
If it helps, you pretend you found the documents online as if you found it in a lost cave and obviously it resonates with a much complete and higher moral teachings. For example, Yeshua whom they gave the name "Jesus Christ", who was Hebrew, was kind to Man/Woman and Animals. Thou shall not kill doesn't only mean humans, Father didn't make the Animals half heartedly, if you made the animals, how would you feel if you saw me slaughtering them and chewing them with our teeth but you cannot intervene willy nilly because it is Freewill till Judgement Day?
No mention of global warming...huh.
Hopefully that takes care of the drought
Nope they’re still saying we’re in a severe drought but something tells me that’s not accurate.
@@blakethompson2397 That doesn't fix five years worth of backlog.
2 days ago it was just under 80 deg. here in Flint Texas. Got so warm in the house I actually turned the A/C on for about 20 min. That night a "front" moved in. By 3 in the morning it was 24 deg. Quite a change
i like how they pushed all the snow up around his legs to make it look deeper lol
This looks so fun and dangerous, we need more.
Trust me, no we don't. Try having a blue collar outdoor job during this, it ain't fun.
Lol
@@TheJstroud24 lol
@@TheJstroud24 Not funny either, as I very well know! It is WAY more life threatening than a normal work day (or night in my case).
I was thinking Toronto Canada is Cold and snow, but after watching this am in paradise

great job! stay safe ❤️
This used to be a common occurrence. Why are you lying and telling people that this is rare. Just been rare only the last 12-15yrs.
Define rare.
Very good reporting, thanks you all!!
It's beautiful! An Cali an Navdas drought this is much needed so yayy! But scary be save an prayers for the missing man🙏
Well it's a good thing to see that global warming is reaching California 😉
Well, it is called Global.
Enjoying another 12 hour shift at work, snow still sucks though
Freezing coast to coast…meanwhile in Central Texas we’re wearing shorts and flip flops. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
The only people who feel stranded are second home owners who thought they were ready for the mountains. 😂🤣😂🤣
