A significant winter storm has been impacting the Cascade Mountains overnight. Abundant onshore flow and cold temperatures aloft made the perfect recipe for heavy snow in the mountains. Within this package is numerous traveling shots on i-90 while heavy snow is falling. Skiers and snowboarders rejoice as the ready to hit the slopes. There is also an abundant amount of good snow removal shots. Snow plow shots are scattered throughout. Heavy snow is still falling up at Snoqualmie Pass and chains are required on all vehicles except for AWD.

This is the first swift truck actually being smart , yes park it no matter what the dispatcher says
I thought the same thing, whats funny is that I worked for Swift back when I started driving. Dispatcher "it's only a few flakes, what do you mean you cant make it?"
@@Jakecooks yeah later down the road it won’t look pretty on your resume
@@Paul-iu1om I quit driving in 2017 and do not plan to go back so it does not matter to me. Was a tough gig with little kids, good money but not worth it for me.
@@Jakecooks Thats because they claim to not have time to check. Laziness. When I dispatched and brokered freight so always looked up the weather and if it wasnt safe, truck shuts down. I could also send a link to weather snd gps of where truck was so customers could explain to consignee. As a driver, you are better off making those calls yourself and then calling your dispatchers boss to let him know the time change. That would help them train a bad dispatcher to do their job more thoroughly.
@@FunnyStrange888 that is true and sometimes looking up weather online can paint a different picture than what the driver really is going through. Some dispatchers do not care either. I disliked most dispatchers until I was on a dedicated gig.
as a kid I thought it was called "Snow call me" pass. It was one of my favorite parts of our drives. Haven't been through in years. Thanks for posting this!
I drive across this pass 5 nights a week. They have awesome snow plow people, they are worth their weight in gold.
I drive this pass everyday in a semi. As passes go, Snoqualmie is a minor bump - only about a ten mile drive in chains normally: 7 miles up and 3 miles down to the chain-off area. When it's this heavy, I'll leave the chains on for another ten miles, mostly a flat run except for Easton hill, which is a decent to mile post 71 chain off area. Properly installed (that means TIGHT) , chains will get a semi through just about everything. It's the guys who think they're Tommy Tough Guy that screw up and put it in the ditch. The State Patrol will let you roll with just chains on the rear drives and one on the trailer, but if you get stuck, they'll come along and be happy to inform you that you should have chains on all drive axles and that one on the trailer. "Sign here, please." I've never needed to do that, but I'm sure the day will come.
Whoa! Bless your heart! I lived in Corpus Christi, Texas, no snow. Next place, Lubbock, Texas, we got snow, and I thought that was cold!!! Watching this video amazes me. Wow! That's a lot of snow and one has to know "how to" to get through it. I love the thought, "This is an another snow storm and this is what we do to get around or thru it". Ah,. I'm a chicken, a wimp, I'd be lost! You're one Knowledgeable and Brave person! Thank you kindly, I've learned something new! :)
For those that dont live in the area, this amount of snow is so far above average its insane.
Weather geoengineering going on
@@karen-zr9ge
I'm in Roanoke Virginia and I can't imagine snow like that.
Deepest snow I ever experienced. Loved every minute.
Couple of feet of global warming. 🤣
lol had to switch from beer to rum?
375 inches of snow this winter so far. It's a mountain pass in the winter. It happens. RELAX!!!!
remember Texas got like 6 inches and half of them died. Some people are built tough and other are built to tell people they are built tough and this winter really taught us who was who.
When you’ve not seen that much snow before it’s normal to be wowed by it.
@@1234-b6n , really? You are not tough, you are just a jerk.
@@teresas8173 True. I guess it's a good example of becoming desensitized to something.
Usually we don't get it this bad in such rapid succession. Snoqualmie pass was predicted as getting an additional 1 to 3 feet during this particular snow fall. I'm just glad I don't have to go over the pass this year.
Drivers be safe out there 🙏🙏🙏
As a truck driver I’m glad I don’t have to go up to the northwest anymore don’t miss it one bit
I'm glad I don't run up there anymore either. Washington St. Dot sucks too.
I go through here every other week. This year has been a nightmare. Cabbage/Meecham was fucked up this year too.
Thank you for sharing this look into a place that not a lot of us get a chance to experience.
Really beautiful there in the summer!
Hi Pennsylvania prays for all of you SAFETY, GOD BLESS🙏❤️
Pennsylvania? Huney this is in Washington state
I live in south Florida. Watching this looks like scenes from another planet.
Do you want to import some?
That’s because South Florida is another planet. Not like the rest of America. The blatant show of wealth in South Florida is over whelming even for most of us that earn a descent living and have a nice home.
@@kristopherdetar4346 the show of wealth is really just along the coast lines. If you go inland a few miles it's very easy to find a lot of low income dwellings surrounding the Everglades. South Florida is great if you don't mind the Burmese Pythons, Gators, Vipers, Moniter Lizards that get up to 6ft.long. It's also home to Panther and Black bears however they don't seem to pose the same problem with population as the others mentioned.
Formerly from WA state and soooo glad I'm living in southern VA. 🏊
Northern VA here, orig from MN
It was like that almost every year on Snoqualmie Pass when I was a kid.
Videos like this make me grateful that I'm in Mexico.... Shoveling Sand
Accept when it gets on the inside of your swimsuit bottoms. Rough.
With your toes right?
😜🤣
😂 hahah. Cute comment. That’s funny shoveling sand.
I’ve driven Snoqualmie in both Summer and Winter, I’ll take the heat and construction barrels all year round then have to drive through one Winters storm, that hill is no joke traveling East or West.
It took us seven hrs to drive from Tacoma to clé slum, usually takes about an hour and a half
We were driving on the the pas
I drive over that a lot of a local trucker in the area I was up there today 2/26 made it back home safe
Wow, glad you made it home safely.
Glad you made it home safely!!! That's a lot of snow up there, and a lot of weight on the roofs of the buildings in this video.
As a local driver did you chain up or is your truck set up with those sweet air chain deals underneath? Stay safe man and glad ya made it home thats a lot of snow. It'ss goin to be a hell of a spring runoff this year out there.
@@leehilton9932 no I have old school throw on chains I tried to convinced the owner to get those sweet automatic ones he said no lol 8 years driving semi and I’m 29 lol
I went over that pass one time without tire chains on... I drove on the rumble strips for traction to make it up the hill!
u stole my trick.
well that makes 2 of us now.
Hi Dan, I used to live in North Bend which is up in that area of Snoqualmie Pass. So I've been over the pass a number of times and the snow is very thick and deep. How would you be able to touch the rumble strip? you would have to have been able to be on bare ground to do that. That just came to my mind when I read your message, please enlighten me!😀
@@tamitatangotoo6319
I was pulling a heavy load!
@@tamitatangotoo6319 it actually worked for big trucks. Sometimes its the only way to know where the lane is.
@@tamitatangotoo6319 Most of the time the imperfections in the road like the rumble strips are maintained through the snow/ice. It takes a lot of snow and plowing it smooth after being driven on to smooth it out.
FYI I drive a semi over Snoqualmie twice a night every weeknight.
That said, Dan(and Vital) is a Dum-Sh. If he truly needed the traction of the rumble strips to make it then he is risking everyone else's well being by being up there without chains in the first place.
On my way to Seattle and stopped in Missoula for a couple of days when i heard about the storm. Hoping they can clear the pass by sunday. I've never used tire chains and haven't a clue what to do with them. I'm from the mid west and never seen snow like this before! Stay safe everyone and thanks for posting the video. So glad i didn't get caught in the storm...
Good luck!
Your from where? Minnesota Nebraska Iowa Montana Colorado n and s dakota Wyoming all have worse snow storms then this
I love the pass. But I am so glad I don't have to go over the mountains anytime soon. Good lord. DOT doing a heckuva job up there.
I love the snow just hate driving in it especially on workdays 😫
@@gaming_sportsaaron1365 I so agree with you!
That looks beautiful😊💜
Believe me, this is real. My dog and I had a sudden blizzard come over the mountain on us right before entering the pass, headed east. You could see the snow accumulation go from nothing on the pavement to six inches then more right before your eyes. It was like driving through duct work, snow piled from the plows 10 ft. either side.
That was a white knuckle night all the way into Yakima. I-82 is no picnic either. SUVs were going into the ditches right and left.
Went across Snoqualmie like this before...had to get to SeaTac for a flight. Been over the pass a few hundred times and that was probably the scariest trip over. Still amazed they kept the Interstate open.
Take good care Stay safe everybody 🙏🙏🙏
It's the mountains people! Every bit of snow is needed for the environment. It's not the first time there has been an over abundance of snow, and it won't be the last.
Africa we're really blessed. Thank God.
It looks beautiful, if you are not driving in it.
I hope everyone who lives there is getting the snow off the roofs. That’s too much weight. Eek.
Where's it going to go its already up to the roof.
We had ALOT of snow in Chicago recently. There were several collapsed roofs. One lady was trapped under one for 10 hours. Thankfully, she was rescued and survived.
This area routinely gets a lot of snow, so all the buildings are designed to either bear the load or the roofs are steeply angled to allow it to flow off.
All the buildings up on the pass are designed for heavy snow. Most of them are designed like a European Chalet in the Alps with hard slanted roofs.
Nobody really lives up there. It’s mainly all resorts. Skiing, snowboarding, etc...
That’s what I think of the Pass. Driving Commercial over it in the Winter is SPECIAL! The one thing this video doesn’t show is how steep it is. So just tilt your screen about 15 degrees !!
I totally agree, the video does not show the steepness. We live on the west side and have driven the pass in the snow many times!
You don't need chains. You need a tank.
Try loveland pass in Colorado headed into Denver. 9% grade I lost my brakes going down that pass finally slowed to a stop in Colorado springs and yes I had to change my girl panties when all was said and done . scared the hell outta me. Snoqualmie pass is minor compared but I still love it up there especially the frozen falls
Its a... Swift...truck . At least he won't be getting in a wreck.
Lmao
give'em time! day isn't over yet!
I didn't see a Swift truck... you are a swift basher... that makes you a bully Pinhead!
@@danstafford5977 you must be blind there is a swift in the thumbnail
@@danstafford5977 G F Y
There's snow, and then there's mountain forest snow...Wow
I've crossed that pass nearly every winter since I've been born.. you go very slow and it helps to have a 4WD.
Texans should see THIS, and then complain.
Hm!! You see This place! Their houses and the PEOPLE there! Are USE to this COLD AND SNOW!Houses are BUILT for cold and snow. They have EVERYTHING! They need to LIVE and stay WARM and SAFE! TEXAS; Are WARM! The PEOPLE there are NOT use to any COLD like they had! Nor are they use to SNOW! Their HOUSES not BUILD for such an COLD weather! How many ? Do you think have a STOVE that you can make FIRE in to get warm cock water and food in?!Typically NONE! Exept thoose PREPPING.
Its beautiful!
Look at Snow.
I like the snow and yup, I like a good blizzard too. Get out in it every chance I get. Born in the summer but love the winter, go figure.
people in Wa get snow like this and they think to themselves : "shit I guess I need a jacket today."
people in Tx get 1/1000th this amount of snow : "There were no survivors."
Crazy huh
Just like when its 90 degrees yall tend to melt but we are outside grilling with a beer.
Only snows like this in the mountain passes. They freak out when it snows in Western washington.
exactly one week ago it was 8 degrees with nearly 6 inches of snow on the untreated and unplowed ground. Today its 81 degrees. We are not prepared for weather like that.
@@fredvima9916
I'm in Roanoke Virginia and just a few days ago I was sitting on the porch listening to some great music and drinking something cold and right now it's snowing.
Wow makes my snow blowing child’s play here in Central Oregon
That's incredible!!
Wow!!!! We can't complain here in Kansas...Never seen anything near this in real life.....😀💯👈🏾
This is in the mountain passes , not near any big population areas like Seattle or Vancouver BC
The amount of commerce that travels the highways is stunning. Bless the people that deliver in these insane conditions.
Snow is magical.
You got some good footage😊
It's a dream!

I went over the pass in 1978, in a 1970, mack f-700 cabover. never seen so much snow in my life........and i'm from minnesota!!
Im from minnesota remember climbing out the windows cuz we couldnt get our door open . i live here in this crap now and this is a mild winter this yr
This has to be our once every 30 year winter, I can remember the winter of 1992 was a pretty hard winter for us here in Washington.
But the sea level places got little snow a few inches for a couple of days , this is in the mountains
Depending on where you lived, The East side of the state got slammed from what I remember.
Try again it was 1996 cuz I delivered my son at home cuz we couldnt get out of the driveway and down our hill and main roads hadnt been plowed and roofs of businesses were caving in
@@jodyyork3821 that is a rare occasion I’m In Vancouver BC and grew up in Victoria. yes in 1996 we got slammed big time , Victoria got a major sea Affect snow fall , because the moisture came over the Georgia straight from the Fraser Valley Vancouver bc got next to nothing , Victoria around four to Five feet depending on what part of the area a person lived in .
Used to live in MT and drive to the NW often, I can't count the times I stopped and put chains on me 4WD truck to cross the pass.
Snow monsters!
I'm always asked if I miss the snow. I say no. I watch it on youtube while barbequing outside in my shorts , T shirt, and flipflops .
I love snow!
I’m sure glad this is over n Texas. Having no power was hell
Prepare for the next time.
Yes it is. I hope you and the rest of Texas heed the warning of nature.
Glad your safe, it was scary to watch. I went without power for 9 days here in Oregon, but we didn't make the news. Lives were lost too., but I made it. Yes it was very hard.
We did not have this kind of snow in Texas but we still dealing with some issues here.. some places still have no running waters, apartments, houses still damage because of water pipes bust. Some homes caught on fire and people lost all their personal belongings. Yes, with out electricity for days and lives lost was horrible. I am grateful I made it through this storm in Texas🙏 Stay safe and prepared everyone🥰😇
Try becoming homeless in this shit. I survived with no home no water no heat and in a damned wheelchair . you ppl boohoo because you dont use common sence so many homeless die every yr and it doesnt make the news
it's eerie driving uphill in that snow...scary too...and come down the pass...
if it's bad enough to chain, it's bad enough to stop. Be safe
..I’d just make sure I fueled up before I hit that area ..then..conditions being what they are ..just pull over ..go off the clock and wait it out ..let WDOT get the roads a little safer to travel. ..be safe drivers!
Unbelievable. Be safe all :-)
Wow. Lord have mercy!
I retired from OTR (over the road) truck driving in early 2020, I sight a nostalgic sigh looking at this
About the first of January 1976 and I was driving a large U-Hall with chains on the tires and pulling my car behind through Snoqualmie Pass. Lots of snow and snowing and traffic stopped. An officer from the highway patrol was walking from vehicle to vehicle saying the road was closed and to turn back or wait it out. He asked where I was going and I said to Minnesota. He asked where I learned to drive. I said Minnesota. Everyone in that long line was probably pretty surprised to see a big U-Haul pulling a car proceed through the pass.
Just breath taking...
That's a lot of snow
Hey Taco! This is where I took ski lessons.
Snow? Where? I don't see any snow..
I clicked on his popular channel because I am a food connoisseur. I found no tasty delicious taco videos 😫
I've seen more
Blame it all on GLOBAL WARMING ! Al Gore said we need to lower the temperature another 4 degrees C.
Thanks for sharing which we Washingtonians already know of Winter's around here at times. This is a La Nina Year and a great snowpack for the upcoming year. Being Snoqualmie is only at 3K or so in elevation.......cannot imagine what North Cascades Highway looks about now. Or that regarding 410 on the North and East Side of Rainier. Seems roads leading to some trailheads may be delayed a few more weeks than normal. Well at least brush will covered up more on some routes which is a win-win!
Pretty waterfalls come late spring/early summer.
Wow, that's awesome. Im jealous
Not surprised all those swift trucks didn’t chain up and got stuck 😂
Lots of people talking crap about the swift driver. Leave him alone he’s just over there trying to earn an honest living and he did the right thing by pulling over. Most of you can’t even drive a Honda Civic right
WOW! This was the day AFTER I drove over the pass! Damn I got lucky!

Whoa so glad I don't live here but it's something to see for sure.
Awsome! They r doing a gr8 job of clearing roads! I lived & worked in pass back in late 80s... we had a blast! Specially when we got a big snow! I knew the highway avalanche control team.. they had a super crazy dangerous job & they loved it. Its the wet snow thats hard to drive in....
It’s winter, what do you expect ?

I used to live in Snoqualmie across the street from the log pavilion. I have waited hours to get over the pass coming back from Spokane
Remember when the pass closed for over a week cuz of the snow storms and those in yakima were milkless
Wow 😳😬🥶🙏oh my God 🙏
I wish this video had continued! Entertaining.
Hello Marcia
Hate that pass.. If it's not the snow, its the endless road construction in the summer...I prefer 12.
Is the 12 a truck route?
I live in Oly, google maps says go up to I-90, but through Morton, Packwood, and Yakima is so much better!!
Well then drive over white pass instead bet ya go back to snoqualmie with no complaints
@@erinsinclair-pequeen2052 thats white pass and its so much worse believe me
Whole line of trucks putting their chains on. Probably the worst part of the job overall.
I'll throw chains twice a night every night(and do) over driving in urban rush hour traffic.
FWIW throwing chains gets rather easy once you're good at it.
@@snek9353 absolutely agree with you! Those first few times throwing iron makes everything hurt but after that its nothing.
Worst parts of driving big trucks is dealing with A hole 4 wheelers
I haven’t thrown on chains in 15 years of driving. I just pull over right before all the snow hits. Not worth the stress!
@@TruckerLerone unfortunately if you dont chain up up in the pnw you may be sitting for a few days. Sometimes its just not a choice for some of us. Running with chains isnt bad. Running without chains in conditions that you should have chains on is very stressful.
Can't wait to move back to Arizona I'm so sick and tired of looking at this
Well done!
As a company driver the dispatcher use to send me on that mess ...thank God I got my own truck and choose my own route
Our Yard is in Arlington, WA.... coming in or going out i invariably have to go over Snoqualmie... I haven’t Chained this year...
Take care truck drivers . Thank you
Not sure what the big deal is! STUFF happens! I lived on Snoqualmie Pass and worked in the snow industry summer and winter for a dozen years! You DEAL WITH IT! IMHOP, I'm glad it's dumping like this, agriculture ALWAYS needs the H2O!
Another fun day on Mt. Sonofab!tch haha I'm in the yellow truck at 1:17
that's a lot of snow, at least no sign of drought so far, snow at least will help keep things green for a while.
Went over that night
Just some slush, no chains required
Timing was perfect between the dumps
looks like a typical winter day in bflo
Aside from having to chain up in weather like this, if you get even a tiny piece of ice build up under a wiper blade it raises the blade off the windshield and the blade can't do its job. If you can't see where you're going it makes it that much more dangerous.
Yep, we just leased a new truck at my company and it had summer blades on it. I got them changed out REAL fast. That's exactly what happened.
Holy, now that's a snowstorm 🙋♂️😷🙆♂️
Our passes get alot of snow, especially Snoqualmie and Stevens Passes.
That is snow
Thanks from Orlando Florida.
Holy moly, we lived near that area in 2010. I don't recognize anything!

This is normal for Washington, but the summer's have gotten hotter and the fire seasons worse.
Takes allot of energy to transport all the snow up there
This is minor up here this year its usually worse and the reason fire season is worse is cuz the damned treehugger boohooed long enough that thinning is no longer allowed
YIKES !
