GLOBAL "Warming??? Lmaoooo 😆 Amazing 👏
Did you use a drone or were you able to drive all the way up… lovely shots…. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Great stuff. I hope the snow amount doubles into March.
I’m glad it was out there and not where I live! I would hate it! Not a fan of winter but do understand this is a huge water source for you all there.
@Bent Metal Head no
Thank you for no distracting music and unnecessary talking.
Keep doing what you're doing, You got the Right Idea God bless you and your family, watching you from Central California.
The lack of music and narration lets us experience that feeling you get when it is so quiet in the snow...thank you, great work!
Absolutely agree. If only it could also convey that lovely taste and tinge in the air.
Great video.
Best of all.
No annoying talking or music.
Stay safe.
My grandparents lived in Fawnskin for many many years, so I spent a lot of my childhood/teens up there. And going up & playing in the snow was always a highlight, but never, in all those years did it snow like this!! This is absolutely incredible! And, it’s so nice to see people helping other people dig & pull each other out of the drifts. I’m praying for all those folks up there to stay safe & warm.💕❄️🙏🏻🧤🧣☃️🛷⛸🎿🥶🫶🏻
Awesome video. I lived in Big Bear for 20 years. In 2010, we have a five foot storm with the same results. Chained up our 4x4 and would go around helping people. Same people tying to drive the wrong type of cars today. Thanks for bring back great memories.
winters I have experienced much winter onces during that period I lost all I have also my properties I sold everything just to make a living because I couldn't goo to work anymore. Greetings from Miami how are you doing hope you're good

Hehe that's why I watched this report, I wanted to see which cars did the best in the snow.
@@billofrightsamend4 greetings from Miami my name is Susan obeid f where are you from
Great Stuff
I'm sure Big Bear Lake will finally be full after this winter.
Is this Big Bear?? I can't believe it. This is a great video. Be careful drive!!
Keep on Trucking
This is fantastic footage! Many, many thanks to all you hero’s out there plowing and digging out the town. 👍🏼👏🏼
Я не поняла, а что здесь фантастического? У нас в России это будни. В каждой машине есть лопата, у всех зимняя резина, любая домохозяйка знает, что такое контраварийное вождение. А сосульки на крышах только у ленивых.
Hero’s?
Might need to check the definition.
Got to love the guy hooking up the towing strap behind the car with the wheels still turning.
What WAZ he thinking?

Just your average ameriken.
@@susanaobeid6770 live in Oregon it is cold and snowy here last few days, wish I was in Florida 😂
@@danielcaldwell1110 No, just snowflakes.
I really appreciate you helping those that are stuck the storm using your brand new Toyota Sequoia too. Most people wouldn’t do it. I try to help those that are stuck too and I’m a long haul trucker.
I guess this winter for you guys has been the gift that keeps on giving, and giving and giving....... non stop.
So awesome. I wish people that don’t have the proper vehicle and experience would stay off the road
Because everyone is a smart azz and knows better. We have snow all the time in Wisconsin in winter and we still have yahoos stuck in ditches in heavy snow even with NWS and WisDOT warning people driving is NOT advised
@@Og-Judy There is no cure for stupid.
@@jeffjansen582 😂 “Can’t Fix Stupid” #RonWhite
True. Even winter tires without chains is not a guarantee, especially in these conditions. Wet & heavy snow is the worst.❄️
That black pick-up truck cld have yielded. Jerk!
Drone videos are awesome!!!! So peaceful looking overhead!!!!
It's kind of pretty. We never get snow. 😮🌨❄☃
@@digby_dooright 👍
Yeah. But I'm local and drones aren't quite as peaceful from the ground. It's actually really messed up. As least on the north side.
Fantastic footage! Wow!!! ❄️
Thanks for sharing👍
Wish I was there...thank you for the video with just natural sounds.
I have family that live in Big Bear full time I can’t wait till May to go back it’s so beautiful.
Big Bear looks Amazing …… Thanks for sharing!
Well done...thank you!
The University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension Service says that a ballpark estimate of roof snow load can be made with the following formula: Calculated Roof Loading (lb/ft2) = Depth (ft) x Density (lb/ft2 /ft depth). The approximate density (lb/ft2 /ft depth) is: 5-20 for light snow.
Fill the lake up! That's likely way overstating it. But It will be interesting to see how much the level rises in the spring.
Such beautiful footage to watch in 4HD in dynamic mode. Thanks!❤
I feel bad for you guys. Hang in there !
beautiful scenery!! snow is fun! i live in montreal canada you have more snow than we have today! enjoy it!!
In Alaska Kenai Peninsula ....have about the same amount of snow last week
Thank you, so much! Stay safe!🙏
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see what it feels to be there. Good work. Hope Jackie and Shadow are ok.
Jackie and Shadow have a lot easier time dealing with this than we locals do. They are made for this weather.
So nice, quiet and peaceful being snowed it. I haven't seen Big Bear like that since 1969. Keep that snow wall up at the dam and tourist out.
was that the year Moonridge was in trouble? with the propane tank regulators freezing up and the army corp of engineers came to help along with the tanks with blades to clear the roads. i was there for that. no fun.
@@martehoudesheldt5885 I don't recall anything like that while I lived there between 1968 thru 1976. However I lost a hug propane truck up in Arrowhead while working for a company in Bear lake around 1975
I seem to remember there being a lot of snow in 78 as well. I was in third grade and i remember it snowing enough in the san bernardino area. For us to go sledding down a local hill. Great times
Great video! The sheer amount of snow is more than I have seen there in my lifetime! I really appreciated that their wasn’t any distracting/lame music!
Dana, your lifetime & these storms ain’t over yet! Do something about climate change now!
Gorgeous footage, and best of all no stupid reporters!!!
Sheeeesh just 5 min in and I'm overwhelmed! Stay safe every one!
Epic storm! Thanks for helping!
To the Beagle family that lives up near big bear ,,in sugar loaf ,,I am a long time friend of patty deprete ,,who passed away several years back ,,she took care of my husband,,a medical transport driver she was ,,well I hope the beagle family that your all doing okay up there in the mountains ,,and that Holland beagle is okay ,,sending you-all of my love and prayers and hugs ,,God bless everyone and take care ,,😻❤️🤗
Hopefully it won’t be melting too quickly at once.The west is bouncing back nicely from their long drought.Great drone footage!!
It’s an orchestrated drought. Even Texas had its own Weather Modification Department back in 2018-19. Weather Modification Companies can be hired for decades now. One thing they have done & do is make it RAIN ~~ The Government lied about Covid injections & they lie about “Climate Change” too. They have technology to change the “Weather!” They have a NASA Document “Weather Warfare.” ~ Research everything before you believe anything!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL I.MISS MY HOUSE IN BIG BEAR 😭😭
Welcome to the big snow club from Lake Tahoe:) We're about to pick up 2 to 3 more feet with 4-6ft. above 7,000ft.!
I miss winters like that. I don't miss all the shoveling but i do miss feet of snow for wheeling in or on depending on the snow.
Good to hear! We just need a few more winters like this..
Yay!
Mt Baker Washington has a. Base of 12 feet and that is a bit low compared to what it norm gets
@@squamishfish Mammoth got 10’
The last big snow storm in #SoCal was more than 30 years ago so enjoy the snow folks !!!
Epic footage! Will go down in history 👍
Man, driving between the dam and Boulder Bay is not for the faint of heart.
The snow reminds me of my childhood... It's incredible to see it again after all these years!! Enjoy 🥶❄️☃️🌬️
What years were you living in Big Bear? My sister's graduated high school there in 1969. Do you have brothers I might know?
@@johneynon7018 Was it the same in '69? I was a kid in the flatlands but still remember all the rain and floods. Friends had a cabin in Twin Peaks where we stayed after the storms had passed. The road to their cabin wasn't plowed. Fun times!
@@sw8741 Flatlands? Like Redlands? Where is Twin Peaks? I lived in Big Bear Lake in the 60's & 70's. It was a small peace loving community..
@@johneynon7018 By lake Gregory/Arrowhead. Its just another area and not a city. Kinda like what Sugar Loaf is in BB
Only reason I visited Arrowhead was to hike downstream Deep Creek to do some high diving. Sugar Loaf had only a few homes with a small bar and a lot of Mules running wild from Old Miner Days of the past events when I lived in Bear City in the 60's.
Fabulous! When this all melts it’ll top up a lot of reservoirs. Thank you Mother Nature.😘
I wish my country like this. Winter amazing
No you don’t thousands are without power and food . Many are getting help from the national guard and many people have died .
Excellent video .Thank you!!
Some of that drone footage is amazing. You keep it so smooth!
Thank you!
@@WxChasinggreat job!
Alex up in Big Bear many many years ago in the 1960s after a humongous snowfall..! Originally being from upstate New York mom thought it would be a real good idea to go up and see the snow... As we were living in Riverside at the time.. it was nice to go visit and leave the mountain and go back.. I'm not a fan of snow.. eventually we move back to Upstate New York... Where every winter we got a ton of it... I feel bad for you all up there.. now if there was only a way you can compile all of that and dump it into Lake Mead. 😳
Keep warm y'all, this too shall pass ❤️ I saw video the other day where some people are griping about the roads being closed and not being able to get up there... They're safer staying where they are until the roads get better at traveling on. ! I have snowing a few people who's had an accident on that mountain one of which lost his life and it wasn't even snowing.. ! Stay in place people if you're off that mountain stay off. ! Tell the roads are clear. !
beautiful
Thank you. I see a storm...and answered prayers for rain / water given the history of fires. I hope there were no injuries / harm / property damage. I know I'd absolutely abhor digging the snow out of my footpaths. Godspeed to y'all.
American people seem to love shoveling snow. Why don't you just wait until it melts?
It's gorgeous!
Great footage! Thank you for sharing!
Incredible amount of snow; be safe everyone🙏
I love this scenery thanks so much
Good video. I wouldn't mind being trapped in a nice hotel up there. As far as driving through stuff that deep, I would be too scared.
Just be nice to everyone, this storm has hit alll of us hard….
Nice .. excellent footage, this is one video people from Big Bear should have. Look at those big snow tires working. I would placed a tarp on top of my car if I was there. But then again I can’t believe this is Southern California 😅
Thanks for this footage. I have a friend who lives up there in Fawnskin. They are buried in.
Thanks for the videos! I was a little kid in Big Bear and I've never forgotten it. Still trying to get back there.
I hope you do, that God makes a way for you!
Me too!! I love California!! It looks like Colorado.
You wouldn't recognize it. What was once a beautiful, sleepy little mountain town is now a true city, year around bumper to bumper traffic (not just on ski weekends), too many people.
Good memories from decades past. We called them the “Local” mountains. We usually drove to Mammoth, but I enjoyed the winters where we could drive a short distance for snow & admire the beautiful mountains off in the distance. Life was peaceful & we didn’t have 24/7 lies broadcast daily or evildoers trying to quietly try & reduce the population.
I love winter and snowy weather, but too much snow affects life, everyone should be prepared for winter.
I'm nervous enough on city streets during a storm ..let alone mountain roads 😧
Breathtaking though.
How much snow load can my roof handle?
Most roofs can withstand 20 pounds per square foot of snow. 2. Calculate the weight of the snow on your roof. Ten inches of fresh snow equates to about five pounds per square foot, which means your roof likely can support four feet of fresh snow.
God bless,you dear ones helping
Your fellow man who needs a helping hand.we are all in this world together.
People helping meet others needs
Is what makes this world so
Beautiful.
Amazing. Never thought this Storm could bring this much white stuff!
Love the drone footage!
Hope things get better for thoes that live there. Great drone footage and liked it with no music. Video show just what I suspected that there are those that believe chains are for everyone else. Also the crowd that believe that their 4x4 can go anywhere. I have always had a set of chains for the front and rear and its faster to put chains on that dig out of a snow bank. If it gets spooky put them on. Praying they get the supplies everyone need up there.
Amazing & professional footage. You are truly talented. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
Thank you for this great video. You made me feel like I was there!
That is gorgeous .... just thankful i am in san antonio right now. Lol
Thank you for posting this. It's great! There is a bald eagle that flies under the drone at 9:08 going from top to bottom.
Wow, good catch. I wonder if that was Jackie or Shadow, our famous local pair in Fawnskin. Hard to tell without a timestamp.
The Big Bear Bald Eagle Live Nest looks pretty full of snow as well, babies haven't hatched yet. Great snow video, hopeful this will delay the drought conditions come summer
Unluckyly the cam-feeds are down now, maybe not enough light for the solar panels.
Everyone needs to protest the “Drought Lie.” It is the Globalist’s way to shut down farmers, our food supply, create chaos & cause fear. The planet is never naturally short of water... Droughts are created & weather disasters are created through advanced technologies! Texas has a “Weather Modification” department (2018-19) confirmed! The government can make it RAIN! Drought is another lie from the World deceivers!!
Freakin amazing footage I really wanted to get a view of how beautiful big bear looks after the storm. This video scratched my itch
To the person that made this video and owns his channel, You have no idea, no idea whatsoever how much I wish I could shake your hand!! I mean this with all my heart!!!!
Because, you didn’t ruin this video with insane noise that some folks call, music!! Or, with excessive rapidfire yappity yap yap talking. Thank you, thank you thank you!! oh dear God, thank you!!!!
Hahaha! The overwhelming theme of this video is...once again....Fossil Fuels to the rescue. As they always will be.
That shot of the Civic Center reminded me of the resort in The Shining with all that snow.
Ah yes…”.The Overlook Hotel!” I hear they are looking for a caretaker for the winter! Anyone? 🤨Anyone at all…🤫🫣🫢😨🥶
Thank you for posting
Thank you so much! Just unbelievable footage. Must be seen to be believed 😲😲😲😲😲😲
FATHER GOD I is an EYE OPENER !
Thank you for taking us along. Can't really believe it until you see it. Wow the hard work. Scenery out-of-this-world. Appreciate ur work.
love it !
Beautiful yet hazardous! I expect all PCT hikers are hoping all the snow has come and no further storms during the hiking season.
Awesome. As a Canadian I will never complain about snow again
Hard to believe this is Southern California!
Thank you for the update video! Thats alot alot of snow!
Thank you for sharing this. The drone footage was absolutely spectacular 🤩. I just wish more people would realize that small cars are not built for this kind of snow! And just how deadly it can be. Thank you for the road crews & the people who stopped to help others. ❤. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
front wheel drive small cars like a Subaru are what ski instructors drive up the mountain...lighter is actually better.
People in California and not use to driving in the snow need to be careful when driving.
Snow is pretty when first falling but it can be a nuisance and danger.
Scary. I don't know if I'd want to be in a white car in a snow storm.😳
Can you imagine what it would be like if the roads were open? Enjoy the time off prepare for the chainless to arrive.
Chains are required to get up there.
@Brown 25 but there will be those flatlanders that will give it an annoying try!!
@Tigran Hakobyan why??
I was hoping you would have flown over my place up there so I don't have to. LOL Very nice images. Thanks for going out there.
Really fantastic drone work here.
Warms my heart to see all the city folk stuck, welcome to the mountains yall 😆
You have no heart! 😂
LMAO!!!
Not city folks, city folk me is doing fine. It’s those in the mountains that are experiencing the extreme weather:
@@mecruzn
Not us real country folks, we can hunt and live off the land for years with no grocery store or help from anyone
I’m a city person, i can also adapt to living in the mountains, deserts, and jungles. Heck I’ve been a long haul trucker almost two decades now. I’ve driven to one of the toughest remote places in Canada including hopping in a ferry from mainland Canada and delivering generators to islands two hours away from mainland Canada during the blizzards,and I’m from San Diego California.
Some very good shots there, thanks.
Well done. If you look closely, you will see me digging out from my Cabin after 4 days of isolation. It's manageable.
I thought that was you.
Amazing 👍
I have never been so cold as I have this year, and the highest gas bill in my life I mean over $200 for the month of January fearing Feb's gas bill even more. What is going on here in Southern California with this weather? And SDG&E wanting to raise our rates "AGAIN" this is just getting crazy! Bring our sunny San Diego Weather back please!
My gas bill for feb was $785 lol
The views from orange county today we’re amazing. I’m 64 wand don’t remember seeing the snow line that heavy and that low
Great footage. Excellent drone operation too. This is a blessing to watch.
Only a fool would go the mountains in conditions like this. When I lived in BB days like this would be throwing another log on the fire and just relax.
I ran like Forrest Gump down the mountain, now my husband is free as a bird to sit, watch Tv and shovel.
Epic. No doubt about it.
Excellent video.
May God tremendously bless all of you
Cool!!! where I live it happens every year! I like it
I live in big bear city California and we have no gasoline on this mountain right now and they finally had some stater brother trucks coming up stater brothers and VONS almost looked like Covid hit them, tourist, leaving this past Sunday, took all of our gasoline with them. They shut down all three rows of it recently open Highway 18 through Lucerne valley for locals to come back up and for emergency vehicles, driving around town coming to work it’s unbelievable how many cars are completely covered to the top of their cars and in their yard they can’t even get people to help dig them out and so many are elderly. I just pray that they’re safe and warm.
I was up in big bear that day for the weekend I still went even if it was a snow storm and warning Beautiful experience
Snow blowing a path to the outhouse is always my number one priority! So strange that Southern California is getting all the snow while we up north got some but didn’t last. Our mountains around us did but Redding clear.
That's a lot of snow the great winter of 2023 hit hard and clean big bear my brother owns a home in BB overlooking the lake I've been there many times now in may June nice sunny 😎😎😎😎😎
Amazing 👍 California
