Video summary of the Blizzard of 2011, as we experienced the snowstorm here in Racine, Wisconsin near Mitchell School, where 23.5 inches of snow fell on the evening of February 1 and morning of February 2 (Groundhog Day).
Born & raised in Racine...yup, don't miss this at all!!
Its unbelievable what you guys have to go thru to live in snow!✌😎🌴 Much love from Orlando FLORIDA 💖🍀
I love Wisconsin, i've always visited during summer so i hope i get to visit this Winter!
Cool video,I think your neighbor with the 4 wheeler had to many beers. I use to live in Racine WI 20 years ago reminds me of the 1987 blizzard olso remindes me why I moved to Florida
I remember this, I had to climb over a 5 foot pile of snow to get my brother and sister to school the next day. I was 17. Had snow in our yard that was up to the porch railing it was insane.
Wow! This was a surprise to find on my recommended since I live in Racine and have for over 15 years.
WIFIGHOST CRUISER I live in oak creek and in 13 so I don’t remember to much but I still remember it and it was randomly in my recommended
I’m from Oshkosh and winter 2020 is suck city so far. The good old days of when Wisconsin got snow.
Jeez, I remember that year & getting stuck in the snow lol
she says " it may be small but it gets the job done" boy have I heard that before !
RaiderNation Napoleon you’ve just roasted yourself dumbass
Remind me to never buy a used 4 wheeler from that guy.
Just giving you a little reminder 5 years later :)
I laughed so hard when I saw your comment.
Little reminder just in case . 10 years later
I remember that year but it was nothing like it was in 2013 up in northern wisconsin. I was out plowing 3-4 times a week with it never being less than 6 inches. Made a good check but still beats up on the plow truck and me. When you hit a hard bank the plow it connected straight to the frame and so is the driver's seat. It was the first year since 1998 I had to shovel off my roof on my house. By spring was good 5ft of snow in the yard couldnt even see the corn stalks anymore. Now this year plowed only 2-3 times and its been raining the last 3 days up here.
Omg I remember when this happened, I was ten at the time and my dad, little sister and I spent the whole day shoveling the snow and clearing the sidewalk and drive way. It was tiring and very time consuming but it was a somewhat good memory lol
Jimin's Mami now you turned out to be a soy boy 😒😭
I wish I could have remembered this. I was only 6 years old when it happened
2:51 he’s really proud of his. It may be small but it gets the job done😂😂
Insert lenny face
Great to see neighbors helping each other
i like to help anothers too
What was the atv trying to do? Looks like they were making more of a mess than anything. A snow blower would've been faster.
larrabeejl clear the sidewalks
@@vasthockey4382 I know they were trying to clear the sidewalks. They were doing a horrible job at it.
@@larrabeejl bruh, this was posted in 2011... u really hurt his feeling didn't u ;o
Just trying to break the drifts up and make it easier for a blower to get through
A snowblower certainly would not be faster. 2 1/2 feet of snow with 4 foot drifts is much harder to get off the sidewalk with a snowblower than a ATV with a plow blade. Snowblowers are super slow because they bog down easily with high snow.
I wish I had heat in my storage. I have a late 80’s JD 524 walk behind with 10 year old Tecumseh 7hp Snowking engine. The starter teeth don’t engage well. In 2017 a guy gave me a newer Poulan 724 walk behind with a broken worm gearbox. He said he never used the electric starter. The Tecumseh engines look similar. A month ago I picked up a free Snapper 522 2 stage walk behind snowblower left at the end of a driveway. Giver said that the engine needs a tuneup. It’s a smaller frame snowblower and I might keep it for the sidewalk at the house with 3 apartments we live in. It’s better than shoveling at age 52.
I live directly across the lake from you in West Michigan and we got pummeled over here too
I wish i was there i loved to experience this snow fall an shovel in snow...😁
LOL I could watch the guys on that quad all day.
I live on the other side of the state, but I'm not sure if it was 11 or 12 when we got a lot of snow. Snow drifted over our driveway which is cut out of a hill, about 20 feet of snow in one spot over our driveway, wasnt that fun
Them guys on the quad are having too much fun lmao
Ya’ll are some hearty people. Looks like a nice friendly neighborhood.
It is, but the kids in school aren't. They talk about sexual topics on the bus, and they're in 6th grade..
But it is a nice place, still. There's Lake Michigan nearby, and you could take a train to Chicago.
Naw Racine is shitty...this guy is in a decent part tho
Oh, and you should watch you for people that act like this guy above my comment. ^
They try to be negative about things all the time. Anyways I hope you have a Merry Christmas! ^^
LoDoesStuff you think the 6th graders are all that they ain’t shit go up to 8th grade and there fucking intense they will do everything possible to try to make you cry. They’ll fight you if you call them dumb or s little tiny joke
I remember that. My hometown.
Do these guys on the quad not realize you have to make many passes with the blade on an angle? This is just complete stupidity
I remember that my grandmas house had a snowdrift that literally went over the roof of her house
I LOVE WISCONSIN'S WHETHER
And their weather as well.
nothing says efficiency like doing the same spot 4 times or more..
Need some tire chains
ATV's will never replace tractors.
Racine does get lake effect snow once in a while -- but nowhere near as much as, say, northwestern Indiana.
It may be small.........but it gets the job done.....hahahahaha
lol
That's what she said, I know it was too easy but i had to.
@@Peter-pv8xx she literally said that.
A year ago today. I was 16 at the time and i remember hearing thunder walking with my friend to McDonalds... we thought it was good idea and that was the worst stprm i ever been in.
Is pay money to see the guy on the quad clear that mound "in one shot" like he said he could.☠☠☠☠
This might be the most Midwestern video ever lol
They need tracks on that quad
this was in between Super Bowl 45 week when the Packers beat the steelers
Hasn't anybody hooked a plow or a snowblower to a snowmobile, would that be possible it seems they would go through anything.
Peter it’s called an atv with tracks
I. Love. Winter
Is that a Royal Mail coat I see
Yes - purchased in Milwaukee at American Science & Surplus ( www.sciplus.com/ ).
Man I'd love to have a nice snow blower and help all those people out.
@HyperFoxTails it was six of us shoveling down on 12th that day and it still took us all day.. 1 House!!
i six at the time and 13 now but i dont remeber this day
That snow ain't Nothin.. Y'all need to come to north Dakota or Alaska!
Things a beast! Awesome
I remember this istg I hated everything that day with all the shoveling
I live in Buffalo we are use to the snow
Oh thats right you close schools during a blizzard... Where I live, I’ve never heard of a school being closed. For any reason.
Sadly we need that snow
I got scared diring this storm and i still live in racine
That's fab
I KNOW MIKE THE MAIL CARRIER!! lol
if that snows hart for a 900 quad to move in 4wd thats so heavy snow
its Wisconsin.
why does most everyone have a mickey mouse snowblower?
They have republican rule and all the good jobs went bye bye.
i feel bad for that atv he is riding it way to hard
Kostelnick how's he riding it hard?
0:46 My School
Closing schools? When we had like 100cm in one day we didn’t close school.
Terry because your school district is retarded and wants kids to freeze to death
+cirmyカーディー What I meant was the snow fell after school
Luv it !
thts Wisconsin for you
That atv needs snow chains ! They make a huge difference
No. That's not how to move snow.
This is noting come to upstate ny on tug hill
Upstate NY sucks balls. Nobody would want to go there for any reason.
Etienne Scarbinski i would. I love upstate ny. Most snow east of the mississippi.
U might get some snow but it melts within a couple days..up here in northern Canada we get -20 or colder in October.. -40 or colder from November until April..we have winter 7-9months of the year
Etienne Scarbinski well your clearly a dip shit. Upstate ny is one of the greatest places in the states
I had a 2006 brute force 650 with a 60 inch blade and mine did way better plowing
Cody Sullivan my 750 is much better. And i got a pioneer 1000 with tracks now with boss v plow and i could plow better than a truck
ya, his tires were crap.
Wisconsin Blows
One inefficient use of an ATV….snow blower would have done a much better job and a lot quicker. He's just goofing off.
Hi
Street plowing buries the sidewalks. Keep your sidewalk clear or else a big fat fine. Unless it's a bank owned foreclosure. Racine's local government doing what it does best. Sold a house dirt cheap just to get out of that horrible city.
old kids with toys
HIS JOB IS TOO CLEAN SIDE WALKS
3years ago
Guy on atv has zero clue how to operate that thing
POOR ATV!!
Who came here to wrestle?
blizzard? looks like a semi heavy snowfall, who cares. blizzard is when everything stops and birds die, not this, this is just winter, wassap?
Why not a snowblower? Because four-wheelers are way more fun
Shout out Racine.
I stay about six blocks from Mitchell M.S.
At 2:53 the comment with a women's voice is very interetsing...Ha!
😂😂
i made some money that year (100.00) swagg
As a Canadian. I can not see any type of blizzard in this video
You did not have as much as we did on the south side of town near 16th and Memorial Dr. you could NOT use a small blower. and plows were useless.
Boy’s with toy’s (it is ok I do it and I am 60).
Cool video. I like the naration, I need to learn how to overlay a narative. I have a couple of videos about the same storm on my channel too. Keep up the good work!
Didn't the guy with the new snowblower know that it has reverse? And probably 3 different gears for reverse. Or at least 2.
Looks like very1 has fun with their machines when it snow. Not.more than the quadbike people hahaha
never buy a used 4 wheeler from that guy
Wow I still live in Racine and I remember being on Jean Ave my entire house had a snow drift up to the roof. Me and my stepdad didn’t have a snow blower at the time so it took us like 5 hours to shovel. But yeah that was a crazy storm.
Scrolling yt and randomly suggested, i remember getting drunk as hell that night watching this storm, then a lady with snot froze to her nose beat red in the face came stumbling upon my neighbor and i who was out there snowblowing, eneded up giving her a ride, i truly think we saved her life she couldnt even tell where the hell she was at
I lived a block or three away from you at that time. That storm was ridiculous. Got up in the morning and literally could not get out of the driveway - our car was parked and had accumulated so high that we had to unbury it to even get to the street.
That ATV sounds like top fuel dragster :-)
I believe that the school in the background is Horlick high school
It's Mitchell Middle School.
I live on Douglas Ave I remember this storm. My neighbor had to pull someone out of the ditch with his truck.
Love Thunder Snow. 👍👍👍👍👍
Its just wisconsins wether in winter well i live in la and we live close to the core of the earth so we hardly get even an inch of snow
Thomas Schexnaydre did you say core of the earth you would’ve died and I’m 13 and I know that
I live in Wisconsin I was in the 1st grade when this storm hit I remember my dad and I going for a drive in his 01 Cherokee xj before the plows came and we had so much fun
Isaac Lassi lol your in like 4th grafe

Where did you get the Royal Mail jacket?
Amy found it at the American Science & Surplus store in Milwaukee: www.sciplus.com/
I want to eat some snow 🤤
Good narratives , enjoyed very much , thank you for sharing!
J B&walter Thanks!
That blizzard was soooo fun but a little bit scary, but not as much. I live in Racine, and right now, Racine is a very good place to live.
Marija Markovic Wait, do some people think snow makes a place bad to live? How would snow make a place bad to live in?
I wish i was living there.. My god it looks beautiful i wanna experience snow so bad one day..

If only God could send us a cocaine storm.....
