The BIGGEST Snow Storm I've Ever Seen | Alaska Cabin Adventures

- Things went from beautiful, too dangerous, very quickly. I love it when it snows in Alaska, but this was TOO much snow. 4 FEET in less than a week is the most snow I've seen in a single storm cycle out here at the cabin and that kind of weight can cause structures to collapse. So come get cozy at the cabin with us while we wait out the storm, shovel off the roofs and reestablish our trails in this winter wonderland. **All the music was written and recorded specifically for this video by myself and Forest Wilson...I hope you enjoy! @Forest Wilson Guitarist

I'm Australian. The concept of living in snow and being snowed in is so completely foreign and so interesting. I want an Alaskan cabin!
Different worlds indeed!
I live in Newzealand now but I lived in a cold country before,and I miss the snow so much.
I was thinking the same, it just seems so unreal, but I do love watching it.
Happy birthday. To your mother. May God blessing. Your mother
I´m retired in Palomar Mountain, CA from 2022, If I had your youth I would go live in a place like yours. Here I live very quietly a few miles from the astronomical observatory and half an hour from civilization, but in winter snows heavily and sometimes we are isolated for a few days. The simple life in nature is really fortunate.
Thank you all for the birthday shout-outs . Matt’s mom❤
Happy Birthday, Melanie.
Happy Birthday to you Melanie from the Twiglets in the UK..
Happy Birthday
Happy birthday 🎉🎂
Happy belated birthday 🎂
What a talent; a craftsman, and musician! .. I'm a year late tunning in! Well done to you and doggie! 👌
Happy Birthday to Matt’s mom and a Merry Christmas and a Happy Mew Years 2023
Thank you!!
Happy Birthday Melanie, 🙏may you have a wonderful day where your son spoils you. Hurrah hurrah hurrah. Wow all that snow looks amazing and hard to get through, Thanks for the video take care everyone and what a sweet dog you have. Kind regards Liv from Denmark.🎂🍩⛄☕🌻🌲💐🦮🙂
Hey, Liv from Denmark! I love seeing people from different countries!
Hey Liv!! Thanks so much for the B day shout out my mum. Much appreciate you!
A good trick for getting loads of snow off the roof like that is using a rope. If you can manage to throw it over the roof and loop it around a tree on the other side you can usually use it as a "snow saw" to cut large sections lose. Even easier if you are two people (one of each side holding the rope), but works with one as well :)
Indeed it does, hard by yourself though. Thanks for watching!
ha, wanted to say the same thing, because I saw some youtube clip with it (never tried it myself). Might require some creativity arround the chimney.
@@ioandragulescu6063 “Some”! 😂
@@ioandragulescu6063 Yup! Check out my new video!
@@alaskacabinadventures not really, pretty simple solo
Happy Birthday Miss Melanie !! An almost Christmas baby. 🎄🎅
Thanks for watching!
Happy belated Birthday Melanie! Merry Christmas to everyone! Stay warm and safe.
Thank you! You too!
Fond memories of 24 hr + snow storms when I lived in Alyeska. Miss Alaska 😢
Magical indeed! Thanks for watching!
Happy birthday mum! May your life be full of Health and Happiness!!! 🍾🍾🎉🎉
How kind! Thanks for watching!
As someone who has lived in tropical climates for most of his life, I cannot begin to imagine what it would be like to survive in such a place. It might be fun to experience it though!
There's pros and cons to any lifestyle I suppose, but Hawaii suuuure is nice!
Cool. Please take care of stay safe. 👍👍❤️❤️
Thank you Tawni!
That's a lot of snow! Happy birthday Mom 🎂
Thank you Brady!
Greetings from Ciudad Madero Tamaulipas Mexico 🇲🇽
Happy Birthday mom!
Thanks for watching!
I see this is a year old but I just wanted to say, I sure hope you got a snow blower!! Shoveling takes up too much time. Love all the hard work you have put into your place.
Your pup is a great supervisor ❤️
That must be your dream come true. stay safe and enjoy your piece of paradise with your dog and partner, simply stunning!
It really is!
Binge watched em all. Proud to be an Alaskan myself. This is super cool what you’re doing. Your channel is going to blow up for sure. 😊
Ahh, you're too kind! Thank you so much fellow Alaskan!
Think, I remember seeing a guy who had a 2x4 board and rope system on his metal roof so he could just run the boards from the top to the bottom and then back up till needed, it seemed to work well. Stay warm young man. Good luck, Mike
Yup, the rope tricks works, easier with two people.
Yeah, you don't really need a board on it, just a rope and a person each side of the ridge, saw that rope back and forth under the snow pack and off it comes. Wouldn't work so well here because the porch is at a lesser angle to the main roof pitch and creates a void when you stretch a rope to the edge from the ridgeline. Works better on a single pitch.
Holy moly that’s a lot of snow to tackle! No wonder you were exhausted! Beautiful scenery. Happy birthday Melanie 🎂
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday to your mom ❤
But advise from other mom - drunk water when you working that hard
Keep your heart healthy and mussels
Sourdough great bread . I love to backed healthy bread 🍞 too
Very earthy taste 😊
happy birthday melanie enjoy your day great video and i am in a warm place currently enjoying watching the beauty of the snow fall this seems so early for this much snow but you handle it amazing ty for sharing
Thank you and Thanks for watching!
Oh my GOSH!!! That 1st overnight snowfall was CRAZY.. Fantastic video. Love the scenery, great charm, coziness..
I know it must be a pain to have to live with that much snow but, just once, I'd love to see it. Everything looks so pretty.
It really is!
You just inspired me. Three days ago I just found out I have cancer. My plans was to buy an RV and a truck do a little in United States traveling. And I wanted to buy some land in Vermont with a cabin built. Maybe I can still do it. That is something that pulls at my heartstrings. I want a little cabin with wood burning stove so bad. Thank you for the inspiration. Oh Happy Birthday Mom🎉💐💐🎉
Praying for you if you don’t mind. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
A very happy birthday Melanie n many many happy returns of the day 🎂 🎁
Thanks for watching!
Well, this videos enough for me to subscribe. The music, the wilderness and the beer at the end all talked to me. Looking forward to more videos and wonderful music. Thank You my friend!!!
Happy Birthday to your Mama sending blessing on Dec 15 that's my 🎂 same day turn 59 this year enjoy seeing your 🎥 for the first time wow a lot of snow beautiful place you have 🎄🌨❄⛄
Thanks for watching! Happy Birthday to you!
Nice buddy, I think I might have told ya but my old man hiked over the mountains from his cabin on Telequana Lake to go hang out with ole Dick Proenneke back in the late 80s/early 90s
So cool, can't believe y'all had a cabin there.
I just love watching these! I’m a 60 something female living in the UK where we get hardly any snow! I’d love to have a little cabin like this but I’d need a strong helper when it snowed like this!😊
Thanks for watching!
Great video you're dog ( Norman) is gorgeous xxx💖🤗🏔️🙋♂️🐕xxx
Loyal dog, beaucoup snow, great cabin, dry firewood, a good stove, and beer; now, that's the way to recoup after shoveling and stomping trails! Happy birthday, Melanie!
Well put!! Thank you for watching!
I read that book too...a couple times. Great book! Happy Birthday Melanie 😀
Great book indeed! Thanks for watching!
Snow, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Happy birthday to your Mom 🎂 hope it was a great day. Have fun and take care, Mike
Thank you mike!
The picture perfectness of the snow on the roof is all the winter cozy vibes 🥰
I just found your channel and subscribed. I envy you and your life style. What do you do for work up there. I’m 72 and I just built a very tiny cabin hidden in a conservation area. Very hidden. Someday someone will find it. I only live half mile from it but I’m out there all the time. I enjoy it so much. You were smart to do this while you’re young. Very good.
That's fantastic! Thanks for watching!
Happy Birthday Melanie from sunny Arizona!!!!!🌴🌴🌴
Woohoo! Thanks Laura
How beautiful Alaska is especially when it snows all kinds ,thank you for these videos I am from Canada but never really explored the true north .
Happy birthday Melanie x
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Melanie. I hope you had a great day. 👍
Thank you Miguel!
Remarkable ❤❤
Couldn't help but notice the quality of the build of your cabin/s and what a great job you've done - especially the hexagonal window 13.52 - it elevates the spirit and you've had some serious snow to contend with.
That's a very kind thing to say! I am proud of the overall outcome of the cabin but I'll admit it took a lot of finish work to make that window look good haha. Thanks for watching!
LOVE THE HEXAGON WUNDOW. WHOLE PLACE IS SO KEWL BUT I NEED INDOOR SHOWER TOULET AND KITCHEN SINK LLOOLOL
If he had a time machine he could travel back in time and include them in the build for you - that would also be kewl ? I'm interested in time travel myself and i tried to order one from Amazon but the picker must have misheard the item so i ended up with a tie machine - but at least i'm never going to be short on ties again - that's quite kewl as well !
Happy Birthday, Melanie from Boston, Ma.
Thank you!
I have one word for this snow. AWESOMENESS!!!
Woohoo! Thanks for watching!
Happy Birthday Melanie, enjoy your day, Best Wishes from The United Kingdom💐
Thanks for watching Thomas!
Wow. That’s a ton of snow 😮. Beautiful property you have 💙 Happy Birthday Melanie 🎂
Lol, that's not property, you are women, you are the property
Thanks Terri!
@@alaskacabinadventures you’re very welcome
Claring the roofs of the snow gives you INSTANT GRATIFICATION!! Good job. Just listened to your talk about yourself and I'm beginning to think only those who are from the PNW are adventuresome enough to actually do what you've done! Again, good job.
Indeed!! Thank You Katherine!
Happy Belated Birthday Melanie, I hope you had a lovely day.
You have too much snow although it does look beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
Breaking News! Snow Storm in Alaska! O M F G!! You are an actual American Arctic hero!!

Thanks Kevin! Will do 🤘
wow lovely snow wish we had snow like that in the uk it looks like a lot of work would love to spend time in a cabin with all that snow sandy uk
It's a lot!
It looks so cozy! Would love to be in a cabin with so much snow around it. Amazing video, thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you Rousy!
Mat's mom, you did a really good job. What a great son!
You're in my subscriptions but I have no idea why?
I didn't subscribe to you I've never seen you but ironically I love your channel.
When you said pain in the ass I appreciate that.
I hate fake UA-cam, woke everybody is perfect and doesn't swear I'm not that guy.
You're very relatable and I'm fucking jealous about the snow.
I live in Northern New England and we used to get hundreds of inches a winter and last winter we only got 40.
Take it easy brother, You're awesome!
Right on S. Scott! Appreciate you!
Happy Birthday Melanie, from Queensland, Australia!!🎁
Wow Australia! Amazing, always wanted to visit there. Thanks for watching!
Still waiting on the detailed cabin build video. With all this snow, you should have plenty of time to put all that together 😉. Great videos, keep them coming! Perfect mix of music and commentary too, something that a lot of channels can't seem to get right. 🙌
Thank you Chris...it's coming!! Glad you like the music, it's my main focus. Thanks for watching!
Happy birthday Mom I just saw your son’s first videos. They’re wonderful and his place looks really nice. Take care.😊
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELANIE!!!!! And many more. Merry CHRISTmas to you and your family.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Melany, from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada
Thank you!
Happy birthday Melanie .
Thanks John!
Happy Birthday to Melanie, wish you many years to come and as for your son, keep shovelling as it beats a gymnasium membership.
yessir!
That’s crazy. We got 36” over a day or so a few years ago n I was like no way do I ever wanna do that again. Lol what kinda dog is that? He/she’s beautiful.
Wow! Norman is a Husky mix. Thanks for watching!
👋 ahhhhhh 🤩😆❄☃ssnnnooooow!!!! I miss a lot for snow and playing/working in it! im from central BC and we only have 6inches on snow but minus 38. never seen ur videos so hi and hi to your mom and Happy Birthday beautiful💐🌠
Thanks for watching!
Another question; why put the log pile so far from the cabin? Happy birthday Melanie, may you have many more!
Everything has its place! Can't have a wood pile in the middle of your driveway. Thanks for watching!
@@alaskacabinadventures LOL. So your driveway would be your only option?
Happy Birthday, Mamma Melanie! Snow Shoes Up!
Thanks for watching!
That amount of snow is unbelievable, that would cause an old guy like myself to have a heart attack trying to clear all that. Lol
Happy belated birthday Melanie !!
It's pretty much the norm in Alaska and I am noticing a lot of UA-camrs acting like it's a lot of snow here. It's not. This is ALASKA lol.
Hey Thanks for Watching Doug!
Ive been here for 16 years...this is the most snow before the new year that has ever fallen, and we have a lot more season to go. It's a lot even by Alaska standards.
Happy Birthday Melanie 🎂. That is absolutely amazing with all that snow you have 😱. But it looks like it was fluffy. Good luck.
Sure was! Thanks for watching!
Happy birthday Melanie. Merry Christmas to you.
Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas!
Happy birthday! Stay safe and warm! Living the dream!
Thanks for watching!
One man’s wilderness is the absolute best documentary! Have the disk and the book, LOVE THEM! I’d lov to be living that life, but age and health won’t allow it 😢. God bless you and thank you for sharing your life with us.
Yes, He truly is the real deal, what a legend. Thanks for watching!
SO nice you have Norman to keep you company
This man lives to WORK 😊😊😊😊
Happy Birthday Melanie, from Ontario, Canada.
Thanks for watching!
They make something called a roof rake. Its basicly your broom but with more of a hoe end on it. They have a few different designs and work well for removing snow off a roof and keeping your feet on the ground. They also dont get you covered in snow.
Did you watch til the end?
What a beautiful cabin !! Love the story of Dick Proenneke watch that awesome story on pbs many times ..
Happy Birthday mom.
Thank you!
Stumbled upon your channel this evening. Your cabin is beautiful. I was shocked when I heard you say “Olympia” I grew up in Tumwater. Then married my husband and commercial fished up there in AK. Stay warm up there.
No kidding!? Small world! Thanks for watching!
Happy belated birthday Melanie💐! Possible idea for easier roof snow removal. Weight both sides of a cable that has a durable plastic piece of tarp attached. Toss weight over roof and secure to building. Return to loose side of cable, pull it down to base layer, attach extension ropes where needed to allow you to be ten feet away from building for safety before pulling the snow off. I have seen this method work more often than not...
Good tip! Thanks
It was so satisfying seeing you get rid of the snow on top of those roofs
It was satisfying for me too!
Good vid. Happy Birthday!
Thanks for watching!
Happy Birthday Mom. We have the same birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Hope you had a good one!🎉
can u posssibly release another video of this episode, prefereably like an hour long? lol incredible to see all that snow, i need to see more of it :)
Thanks Matt, I edited this one down so much, in fear of boring people, I had about 3 hours of footage hahaha, glad to know people are interested!
Lol yea for people like me that dream of doing what ur doing someday, it's nice to live through ur eyes...I'm always gonna want longer footage.....maybe take a poll? Lol
@@alaskacabinadventures Gosh, like mattlaplant I would love to see more of that edited footage.
What a great thing you are doing, something I've always dreamed of, living off grid like that, but living here in Yorkshire, in the Uk, sadly we dont have the great outdoor expanse of space to be able to do something so exciting + goverment probably wouldnt let us as its all Protected National Parks.
I am so pleased I just stumbled upon your channel just now, your cabin and out buildings are absolutely beautiful.
What more does a person need. Just perfect.
I've just subscribed as I cant wait to see what you show us all next.
Much love and blessing to you for sharing these adventures.
Just wonderful to see, thank you so much :)
Xx
Good looking bloger
I remember a snow storm in Northern Norway, when I was little, on Christmas night. It had snow so much during the night, that the next morning, when we wanted to get out of the house, we had to go out trough the second floor. First floor was under the snow. We also had to remove snow from the roof, before breakfast, since doors was getting jammed!
Wild! Ive heard of storms like that but never experienced one. I suppose they usually happen with wind gusts to load the snow in front of doors? Thanks for watching!
@@alaskacabinadventures We had over 2 meter with snow around the entire house. First floor was like a basement. I think that winter we had over 2.3 meter (7.54 feet) back then, just 2 years after I moved they had 2.4 meter (7.87 feet) in April!
Think it was around 0,5 meter with new snow in a single night (19,6 inch)
Thanks for taking US along your journey.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Happy belated to your mom! Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you well for the coming year!!
Edit:
Just went to watch the rest of your videos and they are very cool and interesting. Also cool to learn that the music is done by you and a friend I really enjoy it. Excited for more good work!
Right on!! Glad you like the music, it is so much fun to make scores for video, I try and bring the emotion of the outdoors to life with it. Thanks for watching!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELANIE, Love from Scotland, 🥰
Scotland! That's so awesome, Thanks for watching!
