Never wish to see in such a place where there is thunder snow because it is terrible there, those that lives there are always worried when it's winter season because the thunder snow restricts many people from going to work and kills many animals and plants. Greetings from Miami
This whole event just seems so surreal still, even seeing the mountain tops that enclose us in the bay still full and white with snow! Truly a magical winter for California and the people living in this state!
@@shqa574 This is a repost of a comment I just left on this video. Seen you were a local so I thought I'd ask. If somebody doesn't mind taking the time to answer, I have a question. I love learning about the weather, particularly severe weather like tornados and hurricanes. I live in MI, where we get all four seasons, but FAR FAR away from Cali. I've been to the smokies in TN numerous times. Favorite place in the states, and I've been told the mountains in the west make the Appalachians look like little hills! So between the deserts and the mountains, CA has always been a bit of a wild card, when keeping track of their weather norms, especially seeing that snow on those palm trees! I'm aware that the mountains have always gotten snow, but, do the areas shown in this video, ever even get snow? Or is this truly a freak of nature weather event?
feels a lot less magical to those of us in the mountains under 8 feet of snow, with gas lines exploding from the weight, all of our grocery stores having collapsed, and the majority of us trapped in our homes for two weeks.
@@Luis-fg9ou I imagine it would.. Do you know about how large of an area this disaster has covered? I'm so sorry you guys have to deal with all this. Particularly difficult given the nature of this and no way to just get help to people.

My friend in Tahoe said he has 10' Snowbanks around his property, and that it's so high that the snowblower can hardly get the snow up on top of the bank. He said this is the most snow to date in recorded history.
Beautiful, fun and scary, all at once. Hope all the homeless humans and critters made it through OK, and hope that all those who got stuck indoors and in their cars survived well.
This is beautiful!…could be the storm of the century that grand kids will ask about, I’m in Ventura and we have snow all the way down the mountains looking east, incredible! ❄️🤠
NO. This won't do anything for the "drought" because the idiots in California won build dams and reservoirs to collect all these waters. In fact they are simply releasing all these waters into the delta to "save" delta smelt. But you know Gavin Nuisance will try to ration the water come this summer because of the men-made "drought" and your water companies will jack up your rates. Again.
It’s a once in a lifetime sight. Mother Nature with her unbelievable amounts of strength and magic. From tiny snow flakes at Disneyland snow falling at the Hollywood sign to the 6 feet of snow in the mountains. California has been blessed with so much snow that the drought problem that existed no longer causes concern
Yay not as much drought. Now if we can do something about the excessive homelessness, crime, drug use, trash filled streets, gangs, businesses leaving CA, bad policies, etc. We'll be alright
LOL the month I left California to move to Portland, all this snow happened haha - Portland was crazy but I wish I was there to see this in California since we've been in drought for so long.
Snow cleans the earth From Boston and I'm a snow lover but unfortunately this year was not as usual. We didn't have much snow this year . It looks like it went to California this time
I hope the deer and elk, small animals and livestock are ok...snow so deep it could suffocate them. Be careful in those narrow pathways with snow way over your head. Avalanches can and do happen in those pathways! Honestly surprised more roofs haven't caved it. Great builders I guess!
OMG I remember that, I was 6 and the neighbors across the street had a blizzard party. The snow plow had gone through, so my family had to climb over a snowbank at the end of our driveway, hop into the road, then climb over another one to get into the neighbor's driveway! 🥶
Blizzard in California means prices for produce in Canada will go through the roof. (Theres always a reason for our grocery conglomerates to rip us off)
@@ldc5603 ...and it will. Southern California melts are always rapid once you get to 70*days, and they'll be right along. Then once the ground is saturated, as it is now, water starts coming from seeps and vents and springs. The Santa Anna will run mightily for a time as will Temescal It will be scrubbed to near bedrock, The Santa Anna needs to be flushed.
Praise God Almighty for his merciful provision. Hopefully this makes a dent in the low water table and helps finish filling all the reservoirs. Stay safe California, we’re praying for you!
reminds me of the blizzard of 1978 in Boston. we could experience the most difficult year in modern history this year. earthquakes. floods. fires. tornados. and endless other natural disasters. look at the bright side. it's better than raging fires.
Never live on a flood plain. Why? It is not if but when a flood will occur. Prepare for the worst but hope for the best. My prayers go out to these folks but preparedness is a MUST.
I have no doubt Newsom will find a way to let all that melting snow go straight to the ocean rather than use it for agriculture and drinking water. Moved from SoCal to Wisconsin...I see this every year...and I only miss some of the people in California. Don't miss the state agencies at all.
California was once a golden state tarnished by the state government. This historic snow and rainfall was the best thing that's happened to this once great state in a very long time.
Surreal to see the places that haven’t got any snow till now. Living in Central Valley for 30 years before I moved to Arizona. Especially since Oakland and mission peak get snows. Was told up between Sacramento and Stockton freeway 99 closed cuz of flooding while ago. Crazy.
I wish we could divert this water to lake Mead. The way southern cal gets water from lake Mead diverted to them what does anyone think could be done with reverse pumps just a thought
Man I am from Irvine, and my friends have been sending me videos and pictures. I left California for Australia about 5 months ago. I am now in the hot summer in Sydney, and watching all this bums me out lol I never got too see this my life time and I'm 29 lol
It's snowing in California and I'm over here in the Appalachian Mountains in flip-flops and shorts. The trees are already in full bloom, haven't had a single day below freezing since mid January. This is the most bizarre weather I can remember in my 36 years.
Whoever did the video editing on this video did an excellent job.
Its a template
The Snow brings out the real beauty of California.
Not very beautiful when you deal with it every Winter in MN.

Great compilation. That picture of the Hollywood Hills dusted with snow with the snow covered Santa Monica Mountains in the background is surreal.

x winter of 1993 was worse! 28 feet fell on the Sierra Nevada at 4500' elevation.
Really well-done video, ABC7. This is a keeper.
These days it was probably done by a freelancer because no news station wants to pay anybody living ages for anything

Truly weather that will always be remembered. Say what you want about cali but she can really flaunt her beauty when she wants
Well said
That's so sexist. You just gendered the universe, making you history's worst monster by far.
Looking at the panoramic views of the San Gabriel mountains was breathtaking. I don't remember seeing so much snow....
California really needed the snow... So I'm happy they got some.. hopefully it lessens the drought this year

Excellent drone footage. Look like folks up in the mountains are literally snowed in.
Wow! Never seen it like third in all my nearly 80 years . . .
Beautiful...much better than fires everywhere 👍
To everyone affected in California. Please be safe and stay warm. I know you guys not use to of it in California. Message from Canada 🇨🇦

Can you imagine how the waterfalls are going to be like especially in places like Yosemite 🏞🙂😂
Yeah there's going to be so much runoff california might get out of a drought😂

Be glad it was snow- it was rain there would have been massive flooding. Snow is mother nature’s way to bring water over longer period of time.
The snow will melt, then you'll have your floods
