- What a crazy winter so far. We just received a massive 12 feet in the last 8 days, bringing our season total to over 42 feet of snow! We had a couple day break but we are right back into it this weekend with a forecasted 3-4 feet on the way. Stay tuned for more. Hope you enjoy the longer video!

There’s something so peaceful about the snow, the utilitarian nature of the plow, the one man against nature, put in the hours helping out the community. It’s all very satisfying. Thank you for posting.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!
The standing wave of snow in front of the bucket is amazing!
Awesome driver but a bigger blade even better , Great job guys !!!
Some of the most intense snow plowing I’ve ever seen. Back dragging, snow drifts, stacking, be safe out there sir. This is where the big boys play.
you must be from california
Lol back dragging snow drifts! It’s done every where it snows!
Thank you very much! Much more fun than plowing parking lots

Lololol wtf
Even though I don't live up that high, I sure do appreciate what you do for your community. Without people like you, winter life up there would be even more difficult or impossible.
Chain up that electric wheel chair for sure.
I'm pretty sure he gets paid pretty dang good for plowing
@@slobberpuss8261 capatalist attitude.
Your compassion iz nonexistant.
@@theashpilez Capitalism, it's what makes the world go round
938 g is one of the best size/ era loaders I’ve ever run
Growing up in central NY and living in the NE and MW regions, I’ve always enjoyed plowing/blowing snow… even if I lacked the enclosed cab feature for my garden tractor, I’d still be out there, bundled up like “Nanick of the North”, plowing my driveway and sidewalks, along w/ that of my neighbors…. Always enjoy the ambiance of plowing later in the evening - scent of fireplaces burning logs, the dark and starry sky, the cold making your nose runny and your eyes tearing up, the deafening quiet and stillness of the night, w/ the only noise being the sound of your tractor, blade and it’s tire chains on the packed snow surface…almost a magical time
You paint a really nice picture 😎👍
I hope your neighbors appreciate the service you provide and contribute to the maintenance and repair of that beast
As one who has a son in the Homewood area, a big THANK YOU for helping keep those folks connected.
I was with the California Conservation Corps at their Tahoe Center when this was happening and man it sure was crazy. The amount of calls we got just to help shovel out the roofs of local high schools and elementaries is something i'll never forget. We were out there for about 10hrs a day just shoveling and sometimes it'd rain so we'd all be freezing cold by the end of the day! When it was all done though, it was super rewarding to hear from those people we helped all those cold months :) hopefully the snow doesnt get as bad as it was this yr.
Well done!! Great work, I hope those Residents remember you and are grateful!
your neighborhood is blessed to have someone with your community ethic and equipment in times like this
This is great, finding awesome videos from last year which just blows this winter away so far. This is a dream job of mine man. Heaven on earth
in iowa, the operators go out of their way to trap our driveways with a packed icemix near the road, usually 3 feet deep and 10 feet onto the driveway.
Awesome we need 10 more feet of snow up there. California needs the water. The lakes are gonna be so full It’s gonna be awesome. Praise the Lord need more rain and snow.
That's awesome! I'm 44 and live in the north eastern United States (New England) been plowing my whole life, I love it! But for years we haven't had snow like what you got. I'm jealous! Btw you do a great job! You know what you're doing, 110%! Keep it up kid. From one plow guy to another👍
I'm watching all of your videos. Not living where you are, we only see a few brief clips on the network news. Your videos give a very real perspective of what you folks are dealing with. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts. They're all well done -- from inside the cab, from the street, with the plow, with the blower, daytime, nighttime.
Thank you very much! More videos on the way
I wish I could find a place to live where it was like this most of the time of the year. That's a playground for me. I absolutely love plowing snow. I've done guy for many, many years before I retired. I'm 50 years old but I can still plow snow all day long and do it. I miss it. I'll find that job someday soon.
Growing up in Minnesota, I learned the concept of space management. Basically, it means, where do you put the snow. When looking at new homes I always have that in the back of my head and decided against some houses because there was no place to put the snow.
Parts of me would love to take over for these guys to give them a break. Alas, I live in CO and we have our own share of snow. Thankfully, I have a beast of a snowblower. Even with the wet heavy snow we got Mid March, it was still able to throw it far enough. When the snow is light and fluffy, it can throw it about 30 feet!!
I love blowing snow, I love being out in the winter helping others out.
My neighbors like it when I am out as I do as much as I can of their driveways.
Thanks for all that you do!!!
WOW insane video thanks! Had no idea that so many cottages could be so close to each other in such dense snowy terrain.
relaxing and mesmerizing. The night vid and snowfall adds something to it. subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
I think this is my favorite UA-cam video! The right operator on the right equipment doing a fantastic job! True, the night snow fall with quality camera footage!! Well done!!
Mesmerizing! The chains on the tires makes that thing a beast. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy the footage. looks like an enjoyable job.
So much smoother and quieter in snow than typical dirt/rock work. (nixing the backup buzzer a major improvement that everyone appreciates, especially at 3am, they have rear cam on the screen anyway) Modern Cat loaders very pleasing to run.
You are good at your work !
Thank you very much!
Fascinated by watching your strategy
That biggest amount of snow I have seen. What a machine and service !
Enjoy the time working with your dad he did a fine job keeping all that work smart man thanks
Thank you! I really do enjoy working with my dad. Before I started working with him, he was plowing this neighborhood all by himself for 38 years!! Crazy
Wow thats taking care of your neighborhood i can appreciate that alot thumbs up keep up the good work im sure they appreciate you and dad
you have a good heart and mind., god bless you always for helping other people, doing on their driveway and the road we salute you sir amazing
Thank you!!
I could watch this all day
The amount of snow in Tahoe and the Sierra in general is insane this year. Must be a hell of a year for you.
Griff you are absolutely killing it. Very impressive!
Living in Northern Michigan this is absolutely terrifying, That’s an insane amount of snow. Thank you for helping out the people! Good work.
Scoop
You voluntarily live in the environment you should expect to have an impact on your life!
Amazing to see the efforts to keep people moving and safe!
I sure hope they appreciate it but given our current situation expect that people just complain!
Was up there last year un the warm months and the piles of snow were still crazy
That's alotta snow! Awesome.
Hey Family in North Shore Bro n law worked out of North Shore Cal Trans yard. Was there in 80s with snow was over 20' in Soda Springs/Donner. The snow tunnels were awesome.
I wasn't around in the 80's but from what I've heard, things look similar to how the did in the 82/83 winter!
OMG dude i never seen this lifestyle in my life or even people living in snow like that what a awsome person you must be to help out like that...
Thank you very much for the upload really really great content.
Thank you!
Around the 7:50 mark. Damn that seems like an insane amount of snow on the roof. Really blown away by the whole thing. 🤯
Running out of places to put that snow!! Looks like so much fun!!
The spring flooding is going to be insane.
Should be pretty good but depends on the weather. Nothing we haven't seen before.
ASMR
That thing is a hoss. Never seen snow like that in my life. Crazy to see how deep the snow gets up there.
Dr. Griff, a gifted plastic surgeon with a REALLY BIG scalpel. 💪
Rock on Doc.😉
Haha thank you!!
Wish I could give you 10 x likes. You’re goodness shines forth. Keep up the noble work, young man.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I wonder how well those Cats will work once Cali requires them to be battery powered..🤔
Holy SnowFlakes!
With that amount of driveways and a shitload of snow to deal with, I am impressed that you are able to feel positive about it. I am happy to live in a neighbourhood where more than 5-6 inch of snow is a rarity in one day. And we also have a fleet of new JCB loaders to push it around for us on those days, so I guess we are pampered. Nice to see what your day is like. Feel free to comment a little more. It makes it more interesting. Good luck.
I liked seeing the snow from inside especially during a storm. It was the cold and aftermath of dealing with it that I couldn't take.
That's partly what brought us far enough south to a place which averages 3" of snow per year. Much better now.
I think I’ll speak for everyone in Tahoe and all my co workers at Liberty….. thank you!
Wow that is sick haven't had to plow that much snow in. Awhile
Awesome video
Thanks!
We were here for this for a skiing trip. These guys are awesome.
The amount of snow that CAT is pushing is insane,,many tons of snow..
The payloader is a beast
OMG dude! So much snow! Awesome video! We got snow at the beach in that last big storm, lol. It's definitely been a crazy winter here in Cali! Thanks for the longer video, keep em coming bro!
Love to watch these snowplow videos, please make them longer.🙏🙏 Great work you do.💙💙
Thank you! Longer videos in the works
I love plowing for my city ❤️ best thing I've ever done.
This I why I love living at a ski resort and plowing snow!!! Keeep er pushin
Хорошо, когда люди делают для людей. В моей стране не просто не стали бы чистить подъезд к гаражу, но еще и снежный вал оставили бы на повороте. P.S. Ох уж эта солнечная Калифорния...))
11:34 haha it behaves like water on the ocean, so cool. Never seen that before, thanks for sharing!
That CAT 938G doesn't even grunt with a full blade. Impressive.
I could get use to this. I’d love to live here.
“The banks are getting pretty high” 😂😂😂
Gotta love the sound of a big beefy cat.
My snow blower for my house broke one year in the middle of a week of bad storms. And I am not that mechanically inclined, so it scared the poops out of me that I wasn't able to get out. A neighbor helped me fix it. But when you have big machines like yours, what happens if a hydraulic line goes out...or anything else. Thanx for posting though...it is kind of mesmerizing to watch
Bigger is just much heavier, hoses become very stiff and can be difficult but usually doable with determination and a little bush ingenuity and decent tool kit.
We keep some spare hydraulic lines and parts and typically Cashman equipment (dealer) takes care of us in emergencies. Would be nice to have a backup machine though! Thanks for watching!
Now That's a good size machine with lots of power. Enjoy.
I always end up watching stuff like this late at night
That's A LOT of snow at once! Also, props for plowing people's driveways.
The heat index is 108F outside my window so I searched for snow plowing videos. Thanks much for the post!
This dude is out there clearing driveways, my plow man is leaving 4 foot berms. Hats off to you sir.
I live in Canada in this is the most snow me and my family or friends have ever seen in our lives, by far!
you must all be under 40
It has been a crazy winter! Thanks for watching!
i miss having this type of snow...Connecticut hasn't gotten substantial snow like this in years
Such an awesome winter..patiently waiting for some big storms!!!!! LFG
Amazing CAT machine 👍and work
Gotta keep the garage clear,
It amazing how the snow flows in front of the blade.
wow, i think i never seen so much snow!!! amazing!!! you are fun to watch and doin a fantastic job. Greetings from Sweden.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏🏻
Good luck when all the snow starts to melt - more problems.
Finally someone with real chains over there, not sliding around. But the job would have been easier and quicker with a more modern blade. Nice work though. Best snow removal job I have seen from North America.
thanks for uploading the video. it's fun, being able to see what you do, without having had the opportunity to do so, too...some exterior pictures of the machine would've been nice.
Yes it was long but I couldn’t stop watching. I live in Missouri now but come from Tahoe. Thank you for the vid.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice my family's been doin heavenly's parking lots n all of kingbury forever. Had the hill below that ridge come down on our blower one year
I just hope it warms up slow for you guys so flooding isn't too bad
I came for the plow🏔️ king👑, I subbed for the commentary 💯
Thank you! Glad you liked the commentary!
hi there now thats some snow , john
That’s wild I’d love to come out there for a season and put in work playing in the snow!
Nice puffy snow
Wow amazing and what a cool job to have
That Cat sure makes life easier
That’s insane seeing that sea of snow basically flowing in front of your blade
This is kind of hypnotic after watching a while…lol
Great operator, awesome job!!
feels like a dream
You did an awesome job! Extreme circumstances and you prevailed!
Thank you very much!
In England if we get two inches its game over for a week lol. Keep up the good work bud.
Thanks 👍
Here in Canada the push it into your drive way I like that service 🤙. Thought I would watch this coming into the season just wish you had a cousin here LOL
Nice. This is one of the real jobs that matters.
Thanks!
Wow!!!!! Go Griff!!!!! This vid is incredible bro.
Thank you, cheers!!
keep up the good work
Rollin snow!
so satisfying
Futuristic footage from the shining
Modern Cat loaders have a very pleasing way about them, I run them just enough to work on 'em, not an operator, but I've seen major improvements over the decades.
We really like the 938G, maybe time to get in a new loader and see what they can do! Thanks for watching!!
Hard to beat a G or H model. Nice pretty cabs in the newer stuff, but for the importance of the work you are doing, simple and reliable is best.
