Snowstorm in Bend, Oregon causes major travel issues. Many vehicles were stuck in the deep snow, many other motorists struggled to drive through the snow. A number of vehicles were crashed as well. Heavy snow continued to fall, and accumulations were high. Plow crews did their best to try and keep up with the snowfall. People worked hard alongside ems to help others struggling in the snow.
The best thing to do in these conditions is to just stay home.
It’s videos like this that make me wish my location got snow this good, or bad. It’s personal preference.
I was born & raised in Bend & I remember many winters like this. I got an '85 Subaru, put studs on it & never had a problem. Sure do miss that car. And Bend.
This storm set single day records in central oregon for snow fall. Plus we have a bunch of californians that move up here and screw everything up.
I remember this snowstorm. It was my brothers birthday, and my grandma wanted us to come over. But at the time, my mom had a two-wheel-drive car, so we decided to wait until the snow was over. That was two days later. I want another winter storm like this though. It was epic. Besides the shoveling xD
winter tires are your friend folks
Good point, but here's my observation: Everyone who can afford a car 2008 or newer that lives where it snows CAN afford winter tires. My car is a 1999, cost $3000, and I have them. I do NOT make much money. With the exception of the Saturn sedan, everything else that was stuck was far newer/more expensive than what I'm driving. It's often a matter of priorities.
El Roquero 650$ or thenrisk of damaging the car that you are still paying. I'd spend the 650.
I,m not denying that they are expensive. I'm just saying that the cost of repairing the car after an accident is likely to be much higher than simply buying snow tires.
I will agree that the best solution is to not drive in snowy conditions and that winter tires will not prevent 100% of accidents. But they are still a good investment if you ask me.
Besides, I'm canadian. I am obligated to put snow tires by law anyways.
Snow tires, decent tires period are a lifesaver in storms like these but few have them for whatever reasonings. IF folks want to do things the ''right way'' & save money they would go down to their local ''junk yard'', salvage lot and buy a set of used tires and rims with either snow tires or decent used to newer tires on them for half the cost of buying them new at a tires dealer.. Also their are many styles of tires chains, cables now available for cheap online if people ever thought ahead.. Stay safe peoples..
If you have snow tires, what do you do when it's so deep you high center on the frame?
This reminds me of when I lived in New England. AZ so nice in winter.
Yikes 6:15 ... very dangerous being so close to that chain, especially with the shock load
Well...they are using a chain, so you already know they ain't too bright.
I actually wouldn't worry about the chain breaking here, though, as they don't have enough traction. It could come unhooked or unattached and go flying, tho.
That budget guy is gonna be very unhappy if he gets charged for the bumper he wrecked @ 7:50.
Notice you can see the tow hooks @ 6:05 & 7:50 but these morons don't know what they are for.
Additionally, because they hooked low on their truck and high on the CMV it keeps lifting their backend up causing them to lose traction and putting weight on the front of the CMV making it harder to drag sideways.
Entertaining to watch, that's for sure.
Common sense isn't so common anymore Mike. Live and let learn is what I say as you cannot help everyone..
yeah, that's an easy way to get killed.
Loving the "carshmallow" at 6:05 !
Man that looks like the blizzards of the 80s. 12 feet of snow in 1987. How the hell did I drive an Aerostar in that
Thanks for the no cussing video. I'm to old now to help others get in-stuck. So I now call it natural selection. If they are stuck here and I help them out, they are only going to go a couple miles and get stuck again.
nothing is funnier than watching idiots in cars 4 inches off the ground in a snowstorm
to think most of these could be avoided with winter tires and if the city thought of clearing snow off roads instead of just not caring
There is a reason why snow tires are mandatory in many cities in Canada 🇨🇦.
chain up
Thats why I love my 4x4 truck and winter tires. This isn't really all that bad
I missed all that weather this year. I moved out of Oregon befor all that record snow hit. Wew
12/23/16 it just snowed last night, more on the way, this aught to be fun.
I won't stick my big toe out there, I like my truck just the way it is.
Looks like the "ridiculously resilient ridge" has finally broken down. For the last 2-3 winters the West Coast has been under a ridge, while the East Coast was stuck under a trough with frequent cold and heavy snow. So far this winter the opposite has been true. We'll see if it lasts.
Four wheel GRIP, Four wheel SLIP!
on 4 summer tires
Drop down into low and ease the gas to not spin or spin less, ease the gas when you start to move, i.e. don’t gun it 😅 , it creates a layer of water/ice that’s super slick and you lose your traction as soon as your tires spin. Same goes with locking the brakes and turning, you can’t.
Good Subaru weather. A subie's natural habitat.
dewfall56 A scooby a must in this weather,they stick like shit to a blanket..safest car to be in ,on snow and ice.
I had a subaru when I lived there. Put studs on & nothing stopped it.
Sorry, but the same can be said for me, with videos of proof, that my 2 RAV4's with snow tires do just as good 😉
Had an AWD Legacy wagon it was unstoppable in any snow.
predicted snow, it almost never snows here, first year with my license, have to work far, im gonna have so much fun in my toyota yaris
My brother lives iin Bend. He always tells me, “Oh, it snows, but it’s gone by the afternoon. Not this time bro.
NOT FOR BROADCAST Yet here we are watching this broadcast.
I never realized that it snowed that much in Bend?
Lets goo forddd!!!! ❤️❤️ 6:52
Leaving late for work, people try to drive in this stuff like,”I’M LATE!! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!” attitude are the ones that cause all the backup!!! It just takes 1 dumbass and they’re all in the ditch because,”WELL THAT CAR IS DOING IT SO WHY CAN’T I !!?”
Love Canadian winter !!!! Hate an experienced people on winter road with out winter tires .
People have all season tyres instead of winter tyres.
6:25-7:18 took some life outa that ford pickups transmission for sure.
oh the joys of winter :)
If the camera guys are the ones in the white Ford pickup recovering the rental van, you are making some very dangerous choices in your recoveries and someone is going to get seriously injured. The person in the bed of the truck is in the line of fire if that chain slips or breaks, people are far too close to the vehicles during recovery, and putting the chain over the bumper instead of under it ensures that it will fly up in the air if something goes wrong instead of down to the ground. You have no safety damper on the chain (like a floor mat). Please learn how to help people safely for both your own sake and theirs. Get the right gear and learn how to use it. Yanking on the chain is asking for trouble, in these conditions you need a snatch strap/kinetic recovery rope if a slow pull isn't enough.
well if they need some one in the back to help the he should add weight to the back i have 5-600 in the back of my truck it's need if cause the back of trucks are to light to get traction when weather is that bad
John Kolodzie An easy way to get temporary traction that won't risk death or maiming is to shovel snow into the bed of the truck. When we do a recovery we avoid using metal parts that can become missiles, open the hood of the vehicle in back (or both if using a winch) because chains, winch lines, and straps have come through windshields. I know the person was in the back for weight, but I don't think they realize that being near that chain can be fatal, especially the way it was rigged and with the yanking from the tow vehicle. An elastic snatch strap would allow the pickup to build up some energy and gently recover the delivery truck safely.
I have seen rope Snap under pressure I know it can kill anyone rope/chain/strap all can kill if under pressure and break, pulling a anker out from a boat lying the rope broke breaking some ones truck window but could well of killed someone to
Blinddo42: and John Kolodzie, Please watch Myth Busters. The most dangerous is a rope. It gives the greatest stretch, therefore is most dangerous. Cable is second, but very little stretch. Third is chain, almost no stretch, least harmful. This is not to say that they can not harm, but the last two are the least likely to even break skin. I have broken many a cable and have yet to see one wipe enough to do serious injury. The funny thing is a snatch strap can do more injury because it can stretch more. This is to a body, not the vehicle.
John Bango That is in the event of a break, not a slip of the hook (which is dangerous anyway). Even a chain can be dangerous in the right conditions, so not being near it is a safe bet. It is no different than keeping the safety on a firearm AND keeping it pointed in a safe direction. You don't want to rely on a "safe" failure.
looks like they like to have fun in the snow
Yeah we friggin get it..NOT FOR BROADCAST
6:15 ....this man has never been hit by a chiain under pressure ! yikes !
I want snow like this where I live. I know its bad but like, it looks so fucking awesome and fun to help people.
Say No to Autonomous Driving same lol like we barely get snow and when we do it goes away in like 4 hours after it snowed for like 8 hours it doesn’t last
Where are the plows?
Who's plowing the streets? In my town the trucks are ready to go hrs before snow.
Does your town get 15 inches in 24 hours?
Papo Pepo I live in Illinois not that bad
Side streets are not plowed til it's over, the main highways are cleared every couple of hours.
Without a 4X4, you don't go anywhere here in Oregon.
Your car is junk. Hope you enjoy your plastic everything.
lol
What power company transforms not blowing out darning a snow ice storm?
sigh we still have all that snow there, it's just been packed down to ice, but cars with chains and studs are cutting through it and clearing it now. more snow is due tomorrow
Just thought I would tell you guys that we will reach 71 degrees tomorrow with a balmy 49 for the low here in farwest Texas and I'm enjoying watching the slop from my armchair. :)
Col. Angus And in the summertime, us northerners will be able to go outside without feeling like we're on fire. It's a trade-off.
Remember Jake's? Been snowed in there three times, over the years.
But Is it for broadcast?
I dont know. I think it may... I wouldnt see why not?
they pushed an f250 that said 4x4 on the box and it was clearely in 2wd ... that makes sense lol
you have 4x4 use it
Dave Brisson maybe the transfer case was broken??
brandon calin That sounds like a Ford to me.
In the snow and ice, a FWD Toyota Carola with snow tires will have more traction than a 4X4 F-250 with "all season" tires will ever have.
if you know any thing about stock 4x4 only 2 wheels have power 1 front 1 rear.
A chain in not what you want to use for pulling a vehicle out. Plenty of videos here to show the damage they can do when the let go. If that chain would have broke on the moving truck side it could have seriously injured or killed the person in the back of the pickup. Get a good quality recovery strap with loops, not hooks, and some D ring shackles. Only use the D rings if there is no other way attach it to a vehicle. Straps release much less energy in the event they fail. Can't go wrong with Warn or ARB kit, the Chinese stuff is not load tested and questionable quality.
Cobalt135
Throw a jacket or blanket over the center of the chain and that will stop it from flying wildly when it breaks or lets go.
I ONLY use chains, for 37 years here in northern vt. If you use them properly its not a problem. I've sat there and let people take out their rear windows, tailgate, rear lights. Etc. When they give up, I hook up 2500 with a logging chain, throw my jacket over and away we go. Never in 37 years has any of my vehicles, or those I'm pulling out, been damaged from a broken chain. And I have broken chains.
I watched a guy lose his tailgate, back window, rear view mirror, and windshield. While was gone to the hospital for laserations to head, I put his truck in neutral and pulled it out.
Heavy duty tow straps are the way to go
Damn, 4:30 could have been a Ford commercial!!
Way to bend the bumper on that budget truck😂😂😂😂
i love ford`s!!
NEVER HAVE I EVER SEEN SUCH PEOPLE PUT THEMSELVES THROUGH ALL OF THIS FOR NOT USING PROPER TIRES IN WINTER???!!!
My old truck's granny gear was great for slippery conditions and towing.
Hard to find on standard pickups these days.
Here's a novel idea: If you fear or have no experience driving in snowy, icy road conditions... just DON'T. It's okay to not be a super stud who isn't afraid of anything to not drive. People can be so stupid. I can drive in the worst conditions, but, unless 'I absolutely need to', I just don't. Only takes a little, just a little, common sense. Peace out!!
What happened to carrying chains in your car? Those are life savers in situations like this! Colorado high country resident here...
damn idk how people get stuck in snow i drove into a ditch on purpose in 2 feet of snow and couldnt get myself stuck in all season tires
jj Watson how the fuck? I have a Ford Expedition 4x4 and with winter tires I can get stuck in a ditch, you sure about that?
Yet most people refuse to buy new winter tires and think all season tires is good enough.
for those that think winter tires will fix the problem not necessarily bc i had a 1992 Chevy s10 4x4 and I never had to use the 4x4 or put weight in the bed all i had was mud tires and I never slid or got stuck in 2 wheel drive mud tires are better in snow srry folks
Was on the 97 couple yrs back. and it was just like this. They get dumped on while less then a hundred miles west it is just rain.
Nice place in the summer, but the winters suck. Snow- Ice and fog on a single lane road unless in town.
I saw vehicles here that looked like they were going WAY too fast in this situation of limited traction and terrible visibility.
Winter tires FTW
MT tire's FTW
konkakonkadudu nitto trail grappler are amazing I have heard on snow for an mt tire. and probably those who have 2 wheel drive that's when you dig
konkakonkadudu you won't be sorry
If you live in that snow hole, you still stupid enough to not get proper winter tires...
Braaten Safe poor people live everywhere. That's why they don't have them or nice new suvs.
Haha, it has nothing to do if its a new car, you can have good tires on a old car, doesnt cost a fortune, recommend Nokian Hakkapeliitta
same drivers need winter tires
At 0:24 Jeep for the win !
Whats the difference in driving in winter snow and driving on dry summer roads?
Ask a TRUCKER.
For all of you bitching about snow tires I managed that whole winter in Bend with just all season stiped tires. Not one slip, ditch or stuck SUV. It's about going slow and not driving stupid.
People without 4wd or snow tires should not be on the road
People with a 4x4 and no snow tires should also stay home. Ever notice those idiots are 50% of the fools stuck. 4wd or awd does not turn your vehicle into a snow cat.
I think people with no other purpose than to video other people in bad weather shouldn't be out there either
Ricky Crane I've had both and I still got stuck in the snow.
My full-time 4wd Toyota FJ cruiser and my Toyota Land cruiser never lets me down. You should get a Toyota Land cruiser and swap the tires with the new BF Goodrich All-terrain KO2 which are snow-rated. I have them both on my SUVs and I love it.
People should have both 4WD/AWD and snow tires.
Klasse ! Hat einen Allrad-Pickup und versucht es erst mit Heckantrieb - Trottel !
@ 3:34 i know the soul woes, i know when to just stay home. more than 4 inches.
come join us in Norilsk in winter)
Is there a collective allergy to tire cables in Bend, OR?
hitssquad
Like tire chains? Might be illegal there.
aguyandhiscomputer Tire cables are not illegal anywhere. In many places it's illegal to drive *without* them.
hitssquad tire chains and cables are illegal in Michigan
I was surprised to find the following on MDOT's website:
MCL 257.710 of the Michigan Vehicle Code covers the use of tire chains, and states that a person may "use a tire chain of reasonable proportion upon a vehicle when required for safety because of snow, ice, or other condition tending to cause a vehicle to skid." If used, the chain must not come in contact with the surface of the roadway.
aguyandhiscomputer us u can't use them on any roadway, there for it is illegal, they don't even sell them at the autoparts stores
Call your local salvage yard, junk yard and buy a set of ''used to new tires'' and rims with snow tires already mounted on them many times! Boneyards will have plenty sitting around and their much cheaper than buying new and then you will have summer and winter tires for your rides. Slow down during bad road conditions so you can smile at the fools who go flying past you and end up in the ditch later..
I don't see any stuck Subarus
Are these people on Summer tires?
I live in cali but i go through 97 once every weed man they dont plow thesnow they just built up the snow and close entirely
There's snowplows...but here's the problem..the studded tires that everyone is complaining about people not using? They tear up the roads and leave deep grooves in the highway...the snow plow would either tear the roads up more or be useless because of the grooves. Shrugs..they more use the plows on residential streets and block all the driveways so people can't get out. Snow plows here are a freakin nuisance.
So, Americans not heard of Winter tires? A 2 wheel drive car fitted with Winter tires performs better on snow & ice than a 4 wheel drive car on Summer tires!
barrie Williams People are morons and also to damn greedy to part with enough money to buy decent tires even for summer time let alone for winter, walk through any busy parking lot here in America and it's almost scary how many cars you will see with tires that should be replaced because they are at their wear limits, people run the damn things till they are nearly glass smooth, like who cares if they are worn way past the wear bars in the tread just run them till they pop, NOT me when my summer tires get down to the last third of tread life I start shopping for new, and as soon as the studs in my studded tires wear level to the treadsurface and the tread hits about half life off they come and new goes on, I also don't buy the cheapest crap that I can find either, I do the exact opposite and get the absolute best I can get my hands on, I can say this about doing things that way...I have NEVER had to get dug out of a ditch or needed a tow or push to get going again and I dont think I ....Oh hell I can't even remember the last time I ever had tire trouble like a flat or anything, The combination of really good tires and the Ford 4x4 pickup I own has never failed me. P.S. I also carry tire chains for all four tires and practice the lost art of chaining up if it get really bad out (I live in a place that snow is VERY abundent in the winter time to say the least).
Thanks, Mister Goodwrench!
That's right!
to the idiot with the budget truck hauling the car... just find a hotel for the night... start fresh after a hot coffee and the plows have a chance to clear the roads.. not worth it...
.It didn't stop snowing for a long time...when it did stop and the snow started to melt it froze over at night and made the roads treacherous. That guy was clearly in the process of moving. That would be one expensive move if he had to stay in a motel that long lol.
@@SagebrushRambles still cheaper than wrecking a rental truck with all your posessions....
This is when a donkey > a car in this kind of weather.
exactly how much snow did they get?
From the tape measure, it looked like 14".
It varied... I had 18 inches in my driveway; Bend NW.
@@snowrocket that measuring stick is set high. We had well over 3 feet.
Even the Audi Allroad got in trouble
Anyone who says it doesn't snow much here...well there's proof. Not that it's snowed much this Winter so far...:(
My uncle's car is in this video
Turning Trac-ctrl off just to rock yourself out of a snow bank might help some of these people.
Traction control is fine, they just need proper tires. They simply risk everybody's live, they should be sued for that.
Ruben Kelevra I should sue you for making a stupid comment. because as soon as you get into a car you are already taking a big risk in something going wrong. it may not be you that causes it but you can still kill someone. say some drunk hits you and your car get pushed up on the sidewalk and crushes someone walking on said sidewalk between your car and a wall. YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER AS SOON AS YOU TURN THE DAMN KEY.
Whats the camera operator vehicle?
News vehicle
good video!!!!!!!!!!!
If you live in an area where you KNOW it can get like this, why not invest in an awd vehicle?? Makes no sense to crash a fwd or rwd & get another knowing sooner or later this situation will present itself once again. Common sense ain't so common nowadays...
AWD doesn't keep you from crashing. Michelin Xi3 tires do. If that's not enough, you can put on tire cables. No need for AWD.
It says "NOT FOR BROADCAST", but clearly it's being broadcast, no?
it means not for news channels to take the video and play it on their show. although they can buy the footage to then use
if you live in an area where you get that much snow..why wouldn't you buy a vehicle with 4WD or AWD and if not at least get snow tires
so viel schnee will ich mal im berliner raum erleben 👍
dam that 6.7 puts in work !!
@R Diaz I have a 13 stock 6.7 love it, its a monster in snow. F*orever O*n R*escue D*uty. last winter had 8" of snow here and traffic was stopped and blocking the road on a hill, heck I rolled up on grassy curb and trucked on down the road.
I think Bend is actually an unincorporated part of Southern California.
Sadly that is what it has become
BEND SUCKS! Don't move here!
That rental truck...just don't be an idiot like I was one time and left the brake on....no wonder I was stuck in 2" of snow...I couldn't figure it out until I stuck my head out and noticed my back tires weren't spinning...The tow truck showed up by then, he just laughed and he said he's seen it hundreds of times...
Does anyone knows where this is filmed from?
Todd Bacon the video title and description say Bend, Oregon
Todd Bacon wow
Welcome to my world.
Some days it's better to stay home. 97 N is a death trap on the best days. Add snow and white out, it becomes a monster.
James Fenton I grew up in BC and have gone through some shit passes. I thought the Salmo Creston pass.
BC gets more rain and snow than we do on a regular basis, but last year Crater Lake got about 260 inches of snow. They just didn't have equipment or the budget for decent snow removal in Bend. It's high desert and is usually in the "Rain Shadow" of the three mountain ranges between it and the coast. When it does snow, you are on your own. It's also known as "The Oregon Outback" and you need to be prepared for anything. Tow services are overwhelmed, and so is the highway dept, this is typical for Oregon. They take care of the passes, but not the high desert. Where I live now in Klamath County it's the same problem, when we get dumped on, it's every man for themselves.
This whole video could have been shot in a five block radius from my house! 🇨🇦
CAN Control you see any Toyota Highlander's in that weather driving ok? Thinking how it would do compared to a 4x4.
No road maintenance
What a nightmare!!!!!!!
6:03 at 9:00 Ford=strong race
So unfair, I wish for this kind of snow and all I get is 5 inches max.
We get 0 and when have snow like once every 2 years it's in fn February wtf
AWD and 4X4 mean nothing if you don't have the right tires for the application And, the ability to drive in those conditions. The systems won't do it for you.
Decades ago when SUV's first became popular, the ditches were full of them on my way to Vermont to ski. You get all four wheels spinning because of to much power application and speed and those systems will Put you off the road.
everyone could put good push bumpers on and bam problem solved.
Haha did you see the Subaru needing some pushes. Half the people in bend are from California so that's why they are stuck or crashed. 4 wheel drive or studded snow tires or both are the best options. Keep chains in your car btw
And when I mean a 4 wheel drive don't get a Subaru or else you will be stuck too
Those conditions don't look that bad but, it seems everyone has a lead foot and the wrong tires.... lol
NorthStead Landscaping - North Bay - Callander plus their American so their not very good drivers
They probably know the difference between their and they're though.
