Without these videos I wouldn't believe it. It's like a nightmare that won't end. Hopefully the sick and elderly are being looked after. Thanks for sharing.
I would have had a heart attack 15 minutes in to that. Good job. Good luck for you guys. I am praying the flooding will not too horrific when it starts
I've been watching your videos. Incredible how much snow has covered your town and how everyone keeps pushing forward. I've been praying for everyone. Thank you for sharing.
Great videos. Who would have thought pushing snow mountains was actually captivating? When the weather is beautiful up there, it's REALLY beautiful up there.
Really enjoying these videos, I’m exhausted just watching you remove the snow, hope you keep the videos going would love to see the area without snow! keep safe!
This area is one of the most beautiful sceneries that one can see. Close to the mountais you can find lakes one next one ,Just five minutes driving from Mammoth Maine street. The lakes are alpine style with crear water
Marathon shoveling for sure! The current weather is certainly conducive for those damaging ice dams. Hopefully, it warms up enough for them to dislodge. Just incredible! All the best, Kevin
What a great job you are doing on your home. I am so sorry Ed for you and pray you don’t fall or injure yourself. Stay safe, your family needs you. I appreciate your updates and videos recording this bit of history. And a huge part of history you are making! I feel for you with all this hard work you’re doing. I get it. I M 67 and I have to keep up my property on my own. But I’m blessed to be below the snow line. Just under. Lots of spring clean up is awaiting me. Loved seeing the slow motion on the skidster. Cool piece of machinery. What a blessing they are to you and your neighborhood. Looking forward to no more snow for you, but I know more is coming, but I hope and pray it is little. Give Rin a good pat on the head for me. What a good pup.
I can't even comprehend that much snow. I grew up near Lake Michigan and we had quite a bit of snow with lots of snow days but nothing like what you have experienced.
Your comments are good; people are asking you to keep safe from falling and also keep safe from heart attack. Amazing snowfall videos you made from the many weeks of severe weather.
Thanks for your great videos! My wife and I are watching with a bit of awe from the sunny Western Cape of South Africa! Hope the next storm is a touch more gentle!
Hauling snow away in a dump truck because there is no place near to push it or blow it says it all. Thanks for showing the weighted averages at the end. 😀😊🤩😍😇Mammoth town should hold an old fashioned May picnic for everyone with special individual recognition for those public servants operating heavy equipment. Yesterday, I created a driving route from where I live in Reno to The Liberty Sports Bar with intent to visit the town of Mammoth Mountain after the floods & mudslides & buy a meal.💘💝💖💗💚💚💚 Thank you for showing MEeee in real time what's really going on @ 9,000' along the Eastern Sierras. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Another great video. Thank you for keeping Us updated. The building in the shopping center that had ALL that snow on the roof was absolutely crazy! They're very lucky it hadn't collapsed yet. I saw another video that looked like the same roof, but he said it was a Vons store. Stay safe being on the roof. I hope your wife appreciates all the work you're doing to keep your home and family safe. You have amazing strength! Keep the videos coming. All the best to you and Everyone up there dealing with this mess. God Bless 🙏 Bev Ann
Brother, all I can say to you you’re a hard worker. I don’t know how anybody can stand living in where you are. Be safe man. Be safe, God Almighty, what a lotta snow.
Thanks again for the videos. This is so interesting to watch. It seems to me to be a hopeless task, but you, and everyone, just keep pushing forward. Good luck!
Love all the videos and you sharing your content with us! One thing, you're making me nervous on that roof with no harness and not being tied off. Safety first, brother. I hate to see anything happen to you with a fall onto that driveway. Falling onto the garage could be OK...the driveway is a different story. Just some friendly advice. Best of luck with the upcoming storm.
I hear your concerns about safety, I also understand the need to get the snow off the roof. Remember this snow is unprecedented. It's been more than 35 years since these communities have seen so much snow, and ten feet of it came in overnight. I am glad to be living in the county of Los Angeles with the rain, and no snow. I'm praying for all of you in the mountains, for the snow to be landing in Nevada, and further East
Wow!! Thanks for sharing. I don't know how you and many others there have the physical and mental energy to deal with what now looks like miles hi of snow. Please take care. Wishing you well and praying for everyone there for their safety.
That house at the 5:00 mark is _entombed_ in snow. I know you said it was buried, but I don't think that word quite describes what we're seeing there. Holy....
That's hard work but it definitely keeps you in shape - I'm in Montreal and get only about 7-8 feet of snow on average per winter, and it's rarely the heavy stuff like you're having to remove; thank goodness.
A navy friend stationed in Conn described one bad winter where all snow had to trucked out of town to a mall parking lot. Now I understand. Unbelievable until you see it.
I always watch mammouth mountain life, then your videos, always seem to post new ones back to back, and its funny because you guys seems to film the same things at the same time, but totally different elements to, keep doing what you're doing
You guys have got a huge buttload of snow everywhere! The upside is the pine trees up there will really benefit from the extra water from snowpack melting later in the year. Great video, lets folks know just how nasty things can get when storms get that intense. Thanks and stay warm & safe!
Excellent job. Have lived in Michigan and Pacific Nw, I know what you are going thru. Hard work,but satisfying. Also be careful of those sharp icicles. Have been told you can get bad infection ,if you are cut by one. ! ! ! Be safe and cautious. Keep looking up. Your you tube in my FAVORITE 😮😮😮
You should put a blue tarp big enough on the lower part of the roof on the garage. When you’re shoveling off your roof, then you have might have it easier to slide the snow off the tarp.
Yes, you be careful on that roof! We don't want to recognize you in one of those "snow removal fails" compilation videos! Lol! Great work and hope you can get what you need to accomplish done.
Life in Eastern Sierra, I stated this because I don't know your first name. I seen some of your videos but not all of them. I was thinking, if there is relatively flat land between these houses that the neighbors agree to blow the snow to backyard straight back from the street in beginning of winter. That way it would fill in from the backyard between the houses to the street. Each neighbor would then have less snow besides their driveway. I'm a Vietnam War Era disabled veteran. I did not serve in Vietnam but I was stationed at Clark Air Base a support for the military at Vietnam. My disability was originally because of my lung involvement because of Sarcoidosis a autoimmune disease. That and my back because of Scoliosis. My lungs are better and my back isn't too bad. That being said, my heart says I be out there in Lake Tahoe or down to Mammoth Lakes area and helping disabled veterans or disabled non-veterans in clearing off roofs,etc. But my mind says I can't do that. Yes my heart says I do this in a blink of eye to help people. I live in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. Gary
Did you see that a ski resorts' lift was totally showed in? They dug out a trench so the lift could still move, but after Tuesday's storm, the snow was almost completely covering two of the posts that the lift circles around! I immediately thought of you and how you take us along on your drive down near and through the resort in your town!! Thk you for your channel and your content!
I hope you enjoyed those beautiful blue skies. Hope your kiddo feels better soon. Those guy on the shopping center roof must get paid by the hour. Talk about slow and minimal amount of snow in each scoop. Screw that lol.
So is the ski mountain still open? Are visitors still coming up, where are they staying? It’s a complete disaster up there. I’m so sorry for everyone who lives there. And you be careful you have a family they needs you 💕
Can't even imagine the issues you guys are going to have when it all starts melting with all these piles next to buildings and homes. Crazy amount of snow!
Years ago I lived a similar experience and it became popular to use a long roll of plastic, secured at the roof peak with a 2x4 attached, and shovel the snow onto it as a slide off of the roof.
I love your commitment to these videos. Keep up the great work. I enjoy every update you post. One thing I am pretty curious about, why doesn’t everyone in that area have tin roofs? Wouldn’t it be a lot easier for homeowners if the snow just slid right off on its own? I feel like businesses can’t really do that simply because of customer safety but homeowners should be able to.
After the snow has melted, please do a soil moisture test to discover how deep the water got into the land. I've heard that during drought the land can't absorb moisture because it's so compacted.
I live in the UK where two inches of snow freaks people out. A lot of roofs have feet of snow on then. Has it been the case of too much to clear because it's been relentless?
Not sure how hot it gets in this area in the summer but I wonder (from an east coast perspective) if the snow piles where dumped could last possibly till Next fall??? We had some 35 plus inches outside of philly years ago and the piles in some mall parking lots lasted well into June. we get some pretty warm Summers 80s thru 90 degreesF... Could they Ship this snow to holding Ponds In your area or lakes if any that dried up?wealways here about droughts west coast?
Halfway through this winter I would be figuring out how to build a ramp to get the snowblower up on the roof & garage roof instead of hand shoveling every 2-3 days...... you guys will all be skinny & fit come spring lol
I wonder how many trees and bushes along the roadways and landscaping next to those parking lots will ever survive. They are under hundreds of pounds of what will surely turn to ice. In one of your videos you have a tree that snapped off. How many others will there be? And it will be a terrific year for roofers this summer fixing those leaky roofs
You got that right, flooding is coming. I only wish the best for the eastern sierras and Mammoth Lakes. I am hoping there is no further damage to anyones homes or condos in the area. However, all that heavy snow buildup has to melt going somewhere. The big thaw is coming with flooding everywhere. Every low spot on these roads will become a small lake. With all that heavy snow piled up blocking every creek and stream there will be water everywhere there is a low spot. Worse may be: heavy snow on roofs and up to the roof on the sides will melt. This melted snow turning to water will head down along the walls of the home. With no drainage at the base of the home to take this water away, it will be forced into the lowest level of the walls of the home. Mammoth Lakes and the eastern sierras live in our dreams in southern california as a wonderful place to visit and play.
Wow, your spirits are good considering all that shoveling and the new pile in the driveway! 😉 Have you seen this title? Feds Grant 2.4 Million to Cloud Seed West Coast ! on the Agwn YT channel starting at 5:35 minutes and covering Cali through 20:00 + minutes. Other new videos cover the recent atmospheric rivers impacting Cali in more detail. Mike Morales is his main channel and all platforms listed in his descriptions.
Being as polite and respectful as possible; the snow, the (winter) weather there is Crazy! I can only assume that you enjoy the winter sports activities, (life there) probably is great during the summer and fall, but these winters in terms of snow removal - too much. Up north, we may receive 36" of snow - maybe, and from time to time we get winds that create drifts, but NOTHING like you have there. Every home there needs to come with a skid steer on tracks, not one of the smaller ones, the large more powerful skid steer, with a blower and a bucket. A backup generator (maybe even 2 backup generators) - along with sufficient amounts of (backup) propane or gasoline for long-duration use - mandatory. Probably (greatly) enhanced roof truss, perhaps steel roofs - not asphalt shingles and some sort of enhanced water removal system - not just a sump pump system, but something larger, more robust to remove all of that melt-water, when and if the spring ever arrives. It appears that the majority of homes in the area are million-dollar homes, which in today's market, really doesn't say that much: I mean, it does not take a palacious castle-like home to have it appraised at a million or more, but my point is that if one owns a million dollar home (with huge taxes), these folks probably have the resources to purchase a $100k to $200k skid steer - loaded. Still with all of that having been said - the snowfall there, along with winds, drifting, spring melting, and flooding - too much! Wow!
Watched several vids of people building a shoot out of a ramp of snow and plastic tarp. they just let gravity slide it off the roof after shoveling it onto the tarp. Seems like a lot less work than walking each shovel full to the edge
Looks like you have shingles on your roof, would you ever consider a steel roof, we got one after the bad winter of 2015, haven't had to shovel it off since
@@TravusCooper They cost well over a million and thousands an hour to operate. We had one a half mile from our house, it was electric. Many years ago when hydro was all but free. Now they are only used were the cost is not prohibitive, just to get the LNG up there would bankrupt them. If electric, it would use more hydro than the town. A fleet of loaders, blowers and trucks is how we do it now. Cheers
@@TravusCooper In Canada I see them use jet turbines on rails to blast, melt ice, snow from the switch gear in rail yards. The cost must be insane to melt 25 cubic yards per minute. A 50 million snow removal budget.
Regarding what you wrote about the big fall: My Dad would say, It's not the fall that hurts. It's the sudden stop!"
Without these videos I wouldn't believe it. It's like a nightmare that won't end. Hopefully the sick and elderly are being looked after. Thanks for sharing.
So true ! Local & network news & weather + the Weather channel simply don't tell the truth ! Keep up the good work !
Sun + best snow
I would have had a heart attack 15 minutes in to that. Good job. Good luck for you guys. I am praying the flooding will not too horrific when it starts
at 9000' elevation I wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes.
I keep thinking it’s UNBELIEVEABLE and I’ve been watching your videos almost everyday and I still don’t get used to seeing all that snow
Never thought I'd watch a guy shovel his roof! 😊
Great comments, videos, and attitude. Hope the kid's get well soon. 🙏
I've been watching your videos. Incredible how much snow has covered your town and how everyone keeps pushing forward. I've been praying for everyone. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing!
It feels like Groundhog day! Same 💩 dif day lol
Marathon shoveling for sure! The current weather is certainly conducive for those damaging ice dams. Hopefully, it warms up enough for them to dislodge. Just incredible!
All the best,

Crazy. I think I would have lost my mind by now...thanks for taking the time to post the videos.
YOU got a lot done!! I'm simply sitting here watching you be productive.
Soo surreal, I agree with you!
Such a cool family guy! Hard work is in your DNA…we are in Pennsylvania and South Carolina…..retired…. Keep your family safe…..❤❤❤❤
Rin contains his enthusiasm well😂. The snow looks overwhelming!
Spectacular video again! Really gives a unique perspective if not there. Stay safe in these unreal weather times

Looks like having a heated roof and decks would be a good idea 💡 🤔 turn it on and watch the snow ❄️ melt away. Good luck 👍
It would burn out hydro meter. LOL
mind blowing is why they don't melt the snow like they do in NY city put it down the sewers.
Really enjoy your channel. I know you jump for joy when you hear more snow coming. Could you show us a photo of your house to see before and after
.
That stuff is compacted... Yes need big guns
Yes, you be careful on that roof! We don't want to recognize you in one of those "snow removal fails" compilation videos! Lol! Great work and hope you can get what you need to accomplish done.
This looks fun. For a day!
That tractor-compacted hill at 6:30 will be there until September when it finally melts.
Another great video, thanks!
Be safe on that roof.. omg
Darn… you already did your roof! Not again 😢😢
OMG SUPER SNOW IM WATCHING FRIEND FROM DUBAI

Dang. How thick is the ice on the house?
You say "WE" but I only see "YOU" ..... insanity how much snow the area has received this season.
Any dollar figures on snow removal, building damage and lost wages? I imagine it's seriously HIGH.
I live in the UK where two inches of snow freaks people out. A lot of roofs have feet of snow on then. Has it been the case of too much to clear because it's been relentless?
That’s a lot of work for one person alone Omg!!!
Can you put pics or a video of what this looks like in the summer or fall. Well, whenever the snow melts
The city has to unplug the catch basins before the melt.
From what I've seen it appears the town of Mammoth Mountain is pulling together & is about as well equipped as could be expected.
Not sure how hot it gets in this area in the summer but I wonder (from an east coast perspective) if the snow piles where dumped could last possibly till Next fall??? We had some 35 plus inches outside of philly years ago and the piles in some mall parking lots lasted well into June. we get some pretty warm Summers 80s thru 90 degreesF...

Good news. Ski resorts will never close this year
🇦🇺 coming from a tropical climate, this is totally foreign to me. How long will it take to melt this snow?

Holy crap, need a flame thrower! Just kidding lol!
Two million illegal's in the past two years with shovels, then send them back, only to come back in legally this time. lol!
Having to shovel the same snow two or three times must be soul destroying.
No heavy tarps?
I would say pack my bags before the melt starts.

It's a rental.
It sucks you have to shovel the same snow twice off of two different roofs. The price you have to pay to live in paradise.
how much snow do you get in a normal year?
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day And beware of the green snow.
Be aware of YELLOW snow.
There needs to be a light weight snow blower that can sled up a ladder like train tracks.
The fire department must be busy! I’m sure there are older people clearing snow that shouldn’t be exerted themselves that much.
So… why won’t the “piano wire” trick work? The “jump rope”…. I don’t know it’s name but it’s a 2 person gig.
Lots of snow but nothing to be surprised about. Aren't you over 7,000 feet?
The chutes are too low on those highway snow machines. There's some that'll throw that snow 40 ft.
What use on the east coast are snow melters to get rid of snow like that
They work great, no ice dams, no water in the house.
@@jeffjansen582 ya those work great to but I was talking about a truck mounted snow melter
@@TravusCooper They cost well over a million and thousands an hour to operate. We had one a half mile from our house, it was electric. Many years ago when hydro was all but free. Now they are only used were the cost is not prohibitive, just to get the LNG up there would bankrupt them. If electric, it would use more hydro than the town. A fleet of loaders, blowers and trucks is how we do it now. Cheers
@@jeffjansen582 the one's they use in like Boston or NYC are jet turbine and I'm sure there not cheap.
@@TravusCooper In Canada I see them use jet turbines on rails to blast, melt ice, snow from the switch gear in rail yards. The cost must be insane to melt 25 cubic yards per minute. A 50 million snow removal budget.
I see a new ICE AGE movie coming from this....Ice Age -CALIFORNIA DUMP
