Happy Birthday!! I am a 70 year old lady that just discovered your channel. Love your music, Lars and your wonderful outlook on life. If it has not been mentioned, please check your exhaust tailpipe to make sure snow didn’t get in it. If there is snow in it there is no way for the carbon monoxide to escape and that can be deadly( carbon monoxide poisoning). Sorry. It’s the mother in me worrying about you and Lars!!❤😂🎉
Just came across your videos. It’s no coincidence you received the news about Brandy’s memorial service on your birthday. I believe in my heart it was her way of saying “thank you for your kindness. Happy Birthday, from Heaven”. She knew you were not alone and wanted you to know she is at rest. What a blessed birthday. It’s not about the presents, or the cake - it’s about the love and happiness. God bless you!
Happy Birthday Lars is a very wise fur person. I'm in my van too and under the electric blanket. Mateo please start keeping more food in your van for times that the weather gives you surprises.. Be Blessed
Happy belated birthday, I just celebrated mine in the car as well! The downside to being car bound is things like this but don’t let it get you down, you have much love right here 💜😁
As a Swede 🇸🇪 I feel inclined to let you know how to make a snowman 😊You started off correctly by making a snowball, step 2 should be roll the snowball in the snow in a straight line until it reaches the desired size, repeat with 3 snowballs and stack 'em - you've now got a snowman ☃Happy birthday in arrears!
It’s so funny - growing up in New England it didn’t occur to me that we had to ‘learn’ to make a snowman. We started so young it was forgotten till I saw you. I wish I appreciated snow as much!!!!
😂 The swede is right. Just found your channel in my feed. Greetings from Germany. I am American, and I have been living in Gernany since 1988. Family live in UK. I am a retired musician. I will be hitting the road in future travelling. Minivan instead of our caravan. My first video on your channel was heavy. Cool how the family found you via one of your followers. Brought you full circle no doubt. Glad you enjoyed your first snow with Spice Ice Lady and Lars😊 Did you train Lars from time he was a kitten? The reason I ask is because I have a cat. I don't want to leave Mitchie with my boyfriend. Worry it is just me being selfish. She is a housecat and older like me😂 Peace and Cheers😉✌️
Sending love, healing vibes, peace, and my deepest sympathy. Please pass it on to any and all who love her. May Brandy be at peace in the most beautiful place. ♥️❤️✨🌤️💛❤️🩹💔❤️🩹💛🌤️✨❤️♥️
Happy birthday Mateo! A snow tip from a Torontonian: get a shovel for your van. You can get a folding one to save space. Often when snow plows come when there is deep snow, they have no choice but to box you in with snow while They are clearing around your van, and you will have to shovel your way out. Watch some videos on how to get your car unstuck from snow; it will help to know what to do beforehand so that you don’t panic if it happens to you. It happens to everyone who parks on the street all winter long. Just part of snowy winter life! But with some tools and know-how, you’ll be fine!
Aww ❤sending love and positive vibes your way- I too live in my car (not by choice) and it’s mad depressing sometimes especially on holidays and “birthdays” just know that You are Not alone !! 🎉happy belated birthday
I’m so happy that Brandi’s life was celebrated by her family and that her dog is with family. Thank you so much for the update. Happy belated birthday!!!
Also, as a reminder anytime you in that type of weather you definitely, need the winter storm equipment that's required when living in your van. An automatic van starter, litter, salt, shovel, flash light, under garments to stay warm, a heating blanket, tire chains, there's more items you can research do know you have to be prepared when in this type of weather. Also snow books is definitely, great to have. Blessi gs.😊
I couldn’t stop thinking about Brandy and her beloved dog, she would be happy to know that Abbey wasn’t going to feel abandoned. Your subs are so caring, I read many comments!❤
@@yowhatup1050 Brandi died after some sort of seizure (apparently she was prone to them). Thankfully her beloved canine companion Abbey was taken in and given a home by a family member. I hope she's getting lots of love and reassurance - she will never forget her human Mom Brandi, or the bond they shared. Dogs never do.
That is the cutest snow-woman I've ever seen. . . Snowmantha....adorable. She is cheerful looking like you. Such great news on Brandy's family being contacted because of your video and her pup being rescued by a family member....tears. Happy Birthday, Mateo....many blessings, always.
Letting your inner child come out to enjoy the snow was everything. You radiate good vibes. Glad Brandy's situation had closure and that her fur baby is safe. HB and many more!
Hi, as a kid in Michigan we stayed outside for hours playing in the snow. Once you get your snowball started just start rolling it around in the snow, it will get bigger. But I Loved your first try at it.🙏💜
Happy Birthday Mateo. I want you to know you have followers who love and care about you here on your platform. You are alive and you are blessed. I’m proud of you too. That was the Cutest Snow Women. ❤
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and man am I hooked. Had to go back to the beginning to catch up and truly feel like an astronaut. Blessings to you Mateo and Lars what a amazing journey to be a part of 💯
Mateo so glad you are enjoying the snow, your pizza turned out good. It was so nice hearing the Brandy's family giving her a service it was such a very sad situation. Its great to also hear that her dog Abby is with someone in Brandy's family.
I really appreciate the fact that you seem to find such joy in little things. In turn, it makes me realize how grateful I need to be. Hope you stay safe and warm throughout your adventures! Godspeed my friend!
When you make your snowman get a snowball and just roll it in one direction on the ground. It will gradually pick up snow on its own getting larger and larger as you roll it. ❤ Great video as always 🙏🏽💕
I love having snow on my birthday and spend the day alone, cooking for myself and playing outside. This year it rained all day here, but it was still a great day! Glad the lady’s family were able to celebrate her life and that you were given some peace.
Happy birthday Mateo. Tank you for the update on Brandi. I was so touched by her. I guess we will never know why she was alone in freezing conditions with no resources. Poor Abby lost her mom but I sure am glad she went to family. Mateo your little oven works well. The pizza looked crispy.
Yes we can only guess at that, people have pride when they fall on bad luck and her relatives probably didn't know of her predicament. The cold weather she was unprepared for and contributed to her death no doubt. People don't realise cold will beat the strongest of us
Happiest of Birthdays Mateo! I’m happy you heard from Brandy’s family and have closure about her and I’m happy to hear she was laid to rest. I’m also very happy to hear her dog found a loving home with her family member.
Happy Birthday Mateo! I can't help but always laugh at people who don't know snow, I forget that many have gone their entire lives without ever seeing it. It seemed a little powdery for snowpeople, but I'm impressed with Ice Spice FKA Snowmantha! I'm glad you were able to get an update on Brandy and her dog, thank you for sharing that with us. Hope you and Lars are toasty! Safe travels!
Thank you for sharing the update on Brandy 😢❤ and Abby! I recently started watching your channel. Your kindness and sincere emotion for Brandy and her well being ❤showed me what kind of person you are. Know I am praying for your safety on your adventures. Also for Lars! Whom I adore! I have 2 black cats myself!
I just can’t get over Lars 😂😂 his personality is so funny and laid back at the same time ! And I’m SO HAPPY to know Brandys dog is safe and doing well with her family ❤️
Also get some pocket hand, feet warmers. They also have larger ones. Hunters in colder states use them. They come in little packets and when you squeeze them they emit warmth. They also last about 8hrs.
One good thing is that you showed that woman some kindness before she passed away. You were likely the last person she saw and left this world knowing there are still good people in the world. How wonderful that her dog was able to find a home in the family because of your video, Mateo! Happy belated birthday. I'm a cappy, too!
Hey Mateo! So relieved for you to have heard from Brandy's fam about a service for her AND that her dog was rescued by fam as well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, keep right on celebrating!🎈🎂🥳
Sooooo glad Brandy was laid to rest. I’m also glad that you were updated on her and her dog. Glad you enjoyed your birthday 🎉 Thanks for sharing Ice Spice 😂😂😂
Snowman making directions: once you get a small ball formed, roll it in fresh snow. The fresh snow will stick to the ball. Keep rolling the ball in different directions until you have obtained a large enough ball for your snowman.
I was yelling that at the screen wishing he could hear me 😂. Him being from the south is funny when you think about it. I never thought it wasn’t obvious until watch his struggle. Maybe he will see this and try again!
Happy birthday to you, Mateo. I have to say that you seem to be a pretty tough guy, just shrugging off that snow and cold. Keep in mind, if you want to get out of that weather - Quartzite is only 2 hours west, and it has free camping/parking - and it's 60 degrees there today. Be safe.
Happiest of Birthdays!!!! Ice Spice with the pumpkin spice hair… 💀 😂. REST IN PARADISE Brandi and I’m glad her dog found a new home with family! Great ep! Stay warm out there… buuurrrrrrr ⛄️
Best advice for driving in the snow is to drive slow with your lights on. Wait for the plows and try and drive behind them. If you start to slide, take foot off the gas, turn wheel gently in the direction you want to go. Gentle short presses of the brake to slow you down. I worry about you being out there in such bad weather. Maybe you should park in town? The weight of your van and good tires, is what helps you with traction ❤ praying for your warmth and safety. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂🎈
That’s some heartwarming news about Brandy and her pup, despite the sad circumstances. Thanks for the update, Mateo 🙏 Snowmantha is a total queen! You’re reaction to Prime made me laugh, I had the exact same reaction… 😄 Glad you had fun in the snow… a birthday blizzard blessing! PS I love how Lars just jumps back up under his blanket 🐈⬛❤️
Happy Bday Mateo many many more to you. The snow woman was too cute, great job. Be safe on your travels, and so glad you got closure for Brandy. You are a good person, and I enjoy your videos. BE BLESSED
Happy birthday! A kind hearted lesson from a northerner to a southerner…hydroplaning happens on liquid water. On frozen water you are just slipping and sliding around 😄
Happy Birthday, Mateo. Sending virtual cake to you. 🎂🎉🎂🎉 Wonderful to hear you received good news about Brandy. You are a good person, not many would have reached out like you to offer her breakfast. Little did you know what would unfold. Glad to hear her dog Abbie was rescued as well. Take Care. Stay Safe. Much love from Cali!!
Mateo, your video with Brandy gave me so much hope. My brother's body was found in Vegas, and I keep thinking that maybe someone showed him some kindness before he passed. I know that was a difficult situation; thank you for sharing the story.
Happiest of all Birthdays Mateo! So many people choose to celebrate their birthdays with their loved ones and yet, you choose to share special moments like this with the world! Thank you for having us on your journey! Stay Groovy! 💜
Happy blessed birthday Mateo! 🥳💜 I'm from Ohio and snow like this is common. As long as you have good tread on your tires, and thermal or wool clothing, you'll do fine. Be safe and drive slow. Peace and blessings 💜🙏🏽☮️ If you let Lars out, be mindful of how long he's in the snow/cold, it hurts their precious paw pads 🐾😻
What a creative,energetic birthday video.Lars was incognito wondering about all humans, pondering the existence of black holes,and other esoteric things.Love those magical snow people building gloves.This day in infamy Again have a happy entire year
You are so funny with the snowman. Love it.🥰 I heard you say DearJesus. He is there. You are not alone. Glad you got closure for Brandy and her dog. What a delicious looking pizza. Good fun, good piizza and a Happy Birthday to you.🎉💕
I am so happy Brandy's family was able to find her! I'm sure you feel better and got some closure and peace about that situation. As I said, you were there for a reason in her last days on earth.
So wonderful, Mateo. I love your Snowmantha, lol. I'm so glad you were able to get the info about Brandy, and I'm glad she was able to receive some kindness from you on her last day in this world. Blessings to you and Lars, and Happy Birthday. 🎉❤
Happy Birthday Mateo! Lars the snow cat! Ice Spice the snow woman! You guys make the greatest trio! FYI - roll the snowballs in the snow to make them bigger, a little moisture in the snow helps and that snow looked really dry! RIP Brandi! 😇🪽
Happy birthday to you, Mateo. This is one you will always remember. So very pleased Brandy’s family reached out to you, it was heartbreaking to see your grief at her passing. I was pretty sure you were carrying that with you. Now, knowing she has not been forgotten, hopefully your heart can be lighter. That pizza looked delicious 👍
🎉Happy Belated Birthday! 🥳 I'm in awe that you thought that's how a snowman is made. 😂 We just kinda make a snow ball and then roll it across the ground to make it exponentially bigger. You'll catch on.
I’m so happy to hear about Brandy & her memorial service. Like I said in that video with Brandy. You were her angel. Happy Birthday!!🎉🎉 your never alone❤️❤️
Mateo you are so adorable playing in the snow. Lol😂 Happy Birthday!!🎉 If you love snow.. come to Michigan!! I’d love to hang out with ya!! Stay warm my friend. 😂❤🎉
Next time just keep rolling your small ball around on the snow,it will get bigger and that is your base the bottom of the snowman,then form another ball and do the same that will be middle part,then one more ball roll do the same and that is the head. You can use sticks for his arms ,use one of your hats for him.Stones for his eyes, carrots for his nose. Make sure all the balls are not the same size 😊 Forgot to say Happy birthday 🎉😊☃️☃️❄️ Happy birthday 🎈🎂☃️
I stumbled across your channel about a week ago . I’m obsessed your vibe is so pure and genuine. Love seeing you and Lars vibe out . The music is top tier so relaxing . Glad to be a new subscriber ❤
So glad to hear the news regarding Brandy ‘s funeral. I’m glad her dog was rescued. I honestly believe her family may become a friend to you. And lady but not least Happy Happy Birthday Mateo!!🎉
Not gonna lie - I love car camping in the snow. Happy birthday to you! Hope you get many more years of doing exactly what brings you joy - especially on your birthday. Also, thank you for the update on Brandy. I'm glad to hear her family was able to lay her to rest and that her pup is with family.
Happy Birthday Mateo. 🎉🎂. So glad that Brandy’s family had a service for me and that her dog has a home - that video was so sad but I think you were meant to meet her and be so kind to her so that her family altimately got to know you helped her. Xx
Happy birthday! It’s Weird you were alone til you uploaded this.. now almost two thousand good folks have joined you and wish you a happy belated birthday ❤ we are bracing for the weather ahead here in Indiana, stay safe and warm!
Happy birthday! Snowmantha/icespice was awesome!😂 Glad you enjoyed your day. Also how good to hear that Brandys family has her and the pup is with her family. Hugs. Stay safe.
2:04 the most important things to know are to 1. Take it slow 2. turn INTO the skid 3. LITTLE movements with your steering wheel, don’t over correct. Freshly fallen snow isn’t so bad to drive in,…after the sun melts it throughout the day and then it refreezes overnight and you’re driving on a sheet of ice rather than the pavement, THAT is when it becomes really challenging!
Hi Mateo and Lars. You weren't alone we were all thinking of you and you had your wee lars. Loved your lady snowman so cute. You would be warmer with reflexives on your windows as well as your curtains as glass lets the cold in and the heat escapes out. Glad to hear that lady's family sent her off with love and her dog is safe and loved also. You both stay safe my friend. ❤🐈⬛
What an awesome birthday present to you, hearing about Brandy like that! Thanks so much for sharing with us and thanks for letting us know about her dog too. Happy Birthday, Mateo!!!🎉❤
That clip in your opening sequence of Lars head butting you and that smile that spreads across your face… it’s my favourite. Every cat parent knows that warm feeling you get from a headbutt from your kitty 💜 I make the same little smile every time I see it!
Happy belated birthday Mateo🥳 You didn't spend it alone, you had Lars and Snowmantha☃️ That pizza looked bomb!😃 Thank you for the update on Brandy and her dog❤️ And just to let you know, you went through Flagstaff during one of our biggest snow dumps for then☺️ Glad you love the snow🤍
Minnesotan here with Snowman 101 - you had a really nice start with those little balls. Next time, roll the balls around in the snow until they are the size you desire. The largest ball goes on the bottom. The medium sized one goes in the middle. The smallest ball goes on top. The balls are “glued” together by packing more snow around where they meet. You want wet snow so that it is sticky. To me, it looks like your snow was dry and powdery. Glad to see that you are keeping the child inside alive and playful.
🎉you are awesome and brave. Seniors out here praying for peace, joy , health and safe travels. You’re making me braver….you blessed that young lady on her human journey!!!!Thanks from the universe! Your a blessing❤
Happy Birthday Mateo! You are such a sweet, wonderful soul with a playful spirit! May the Lord bless you and keep you safe! Thanks for sharing your vanlife, it's an absolute joy to watch! Xoxoxo
Happy Birthday! I've lived in a snow region my whole life! It is beautiful but yes cold! It takes a long time to learn how to drive in snow! Be safe, boys!! Sending safe travels to you both! ❤ My baby Troy, in my profile pic is 12. We call him bubby, too!❤
Happy Birthday! To get used to driving in the snow do a few donuts in an empty spot and practice braking. Keep your doors and windows closed will help conserve heat. Love your enthusiasm. Be safe, glad family was able to get peace with Brandy and Abby got to be with family
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉 This was a fun birthday party . Tell ice spice I said , CHILL !! 😂😂😂 So glad you heard from.the ladies family and they had something for her . Stay warm and safe . 😇🙏
Happy Birthday. Advice from a grumpy Canadian. Firstly, all terrain does not equal snow tires. To be a true snow tire the rubber needs to be remain pliable in freezing temperatures, not harden and become slippery. Secondly, you were not hydroplaning but skidding, skidding like hydroplaning is a real sense of losing control but they are different and you could research each. Get a set of snow tires and swap them out each winter season, Kaltire and others In Canada will store the 2nd set and they swap each season. Confidence is when the snow driver loses control, go slow, give lots of stopping space between you and the car in front of you. Driving in snow is fun and you know the scenery is nice, enjoy but stay sharp. Don't park against the curb or you may get buried in drifting snow, the trucks park in the middle for a reason. If the trucks are not rolling, it might make sense to look again before departure. An emergency candle with keep you alive warm, pack one. Sorry to be dad. Happy birthday and looking forward to snowy drone shots but be safe and think twice in a storm.
That’s what I said. I can’t believe people don’t understand that you can’t hydroplane in the snow. Hydro literally means water. Doesn’t take much overall intelligence to do youtuber stuff…
Happy Birthday Mateo! Good to see you and Lars are doing well. What happened that caused snow to accumulate in your van? Wish we knew where you are? I know you're trying to avoid the fanatic and stalkers out there. Maybe you'll share on the member's page. The snow looks great and impressed that the AstroVan had no problems getting you to the store and back. Hey, your Followers and Patrons want you and Lars to be warm, so get your van checked out/ serviced and let us know what we can do to assist you getting it repaired. Obviously, you haven't gotten new wiper blades yet. 🤣🤣Yeah, it's me! LOL! I heard them screeching during your trip to the store. Be safe out there my brother. Looking forward to your next video!
Happy Birthday!! Your little snow woman ( Snowmatha aka IceSpice 🤣) was adorable. You got the good pow for skiing, but not so much for sticking together 😂 I imagine this birthday will be one you remember always. Your spirit is contagious and I appreciate you sharing a glimpse of your life with us all. You are an inspiration. 💜
Happy Birthday!! I am a 70 year old lady that just discovered your channel. Love your music, Lars and your wonderful outlook on life.

She knew nothing
I agree, no coincidence - God, the Universe, or whatever you call the higher power, works in mysterious ways!
What a beautiful thing to say ,made my eyes sweat well said 👏
That was a very nice message you wrote @Carolyncoppola974
not "Happy Birthday, from Heaven” 🥹
You didn’t spend it alone, Lars was there with you the whole time. Wishing you two many more shared birthdays together.
lars is always sleeping. its like that one friend who comes to hang but stays in the next room away from you
Happy Birthday
Lars is a very wise fur person. I'm in my van too and under the electric blanket.
Mateo please start keeping more food in your van for times that the weather gives you surprises..
Be Blessed
Happy, Happy Birthday Mateo. Stay safe [you and Lars] in your snow adventures! We have lots of snow here in Chicago also. ☃️❄

I think he actually already has most of these. He even talked about the chains 2 or so videos ago. Pretty sure he just has to get warmer layers!
Sometimes Lonely Birthdays are the most peaceful. Happiest Birthday Earth Day to you Mateo.⚘️
May Brandi rest in peace 🕊️💜 I'm so glad you made her last hours meaningful and feeling loved.
Amen!! One small act of kindness and human compassion goes a long, long way. May you be blessed for showing the best of a human heart to Brandi.
Yeah I was honestly sad about her passing. He’s such a good soul. I hope he makes a lot of money off of this.

How wonderful that her dog was able to find a home in the family because of your video, Mateo! Happy belated birthday. I'm a cappy, too!
Hey Mateo! So relieved for you to have heard from Brandy's fam about a service for her AND that her dog was rescued by fam as well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, keep right on celebrating!🎈🎂🥳
Sooooo glad Brandy was laid to rest. I’m also glad that you were updated on her and her dog.
Glad you enjoyed your birthday 🎉 Thanks for sharing Ice Spice 😂😂😂
Snowman making directions: once you get a small ball formed, roll it in fresh snow. The fresh snow will stick to the ball. Keep rolling the ball in different directions until you have obtained a large enough ball for your snowman.
I was yelling that at the screen wishing he could hear me 😂. Him being from the south is funny when you think about it. I never thought it wasn’t obvious until watch his struggle. Maybe he will see this and try again!
@@janina8559 what he did end up making was cute tho!
@@strawberryrhubarbpie yes it was!
Happy birthday to you, Mateo. I have to say that you seem to be a pretty tough guy, just shrugging off that snow and cold. Keep in mind, if you want to get out of that weather - Quartzite is only 2 hours west, and it has free camping/parking - and it's 60 degrees there today. Be safe.
Happiest of Birthdays!!!! Ice Spice with the pumpkin spice hair… 💀 😂. REST IN PARADISE Brandi and I’m glad her dog found a new home with family! Great ep! Stay warm out there… buuurrrrrrr ⛄️
Best advice for driving in the snow is to drive slow with your lights on. Wait for the plows and try and drive behind them. If you start to slide, take foot off the gas, turn wheel gently in the direction you want to go. Gentle short presses of the brake to slow you down. I worry about you being out there in such bad weather. Maybe you should park in town? The weight of your van and good tires, is what helps you with traction ❤ praying for your warmth and safety. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂🎈
That’s some heartwarming news about Brandy and her pup, despite the sad circumstances. Thanks for the update, Mateo 🙏
Snowmantha is a total queen!
You’re reaction to Prime made me laugh, I had the exact same reaction… 😄
Glad you had fun in the snow… a birthday blizzard blessing!
PS I love how Lars just jumps back up under his blanket 🐈⬛❤️
Im like lars stayed buried under covers i hate to freeze😂 me n Lars are snugglin hahaha😂
Happy Birthday 🎂.
Make sure to clean off your tail lights of any snow so the cars behind you can see them.
Happy Bday Mateo many many more to you. The snow woman was too cute, great job. Be safe on your travels, and so glad you got closure for Brandy. You are a good person, and I enjoy your videos. BE BLESSED
Happy birthday! A kind hearted lesson from a northerner to a southerner…hydroplaning happens on liquid water. On frozen water you are just slipping and sliding around 😄
Amen 😂😜
Happy Birthday, Mateo. Sending virtual cake to you. 🎂🎉🎂🎉 Wonderful to hear you received good news about Brandy. You are a good person, not many would have reached out like you to offer her breakfast. Little did you know what would unfold. Glad to hear her dog Abbie was rescued as well. Take Care. Stay Safe. Much love from Cali!!
Mateo, your video with Brandy gave me so much hope. My brother's body was found in Vegas, and I keep thinking that maybe someone showed him some kindness before he passed. I know that was a difficult situation; thank you for sharing the story.
@janellbeach8616..sorry for your loss 😢
Happiest of all Birthdays Mateo! So many people choose to celebrate their birthdays with their loved ones and yet, you choose to share special moments like this with the world! Thank you for having us on your journey! Stay Groovy! 💜
I wonder what brought you on your journey? Lessons learned and end goal it any?
Happy blessed birthday Mateo! 🥳💜 I'm from Ohio and snow like this is common. As long as you have good tread on your tires, and thermal or wool clothing, you'll do fine. Be safe and drive slow. Peace and blessings 💜🙏🏽☮️
If you let Lars out, be mindful of how long he's in the snow/cold, it hurts their precious paw pads 🐾😻
Happy birthday from another winter born person. Hope the New Year brings you many great new journey's with Lars!
Happy Birthday Mateo !!!
thank you for sharing your adventures with us, many, many blessings to you !!!
What a creative,energetic birthday video.Lars was incognito wondering about all humans, pondering the existence of black holes,and other esoteric things.Love those magical snow people building gloves.This day in infamy Again have a happy entire year
You are so funny with the snowman. Love it.🥰 I heard you say DearJesus. He is there. You are not alone.
Glad you got closure for Brandy and her dog.
What a delicious looking pizza. Good fun, good piizza and a Happy Birthday to you.🎉💕
I am so happy Brandy's family was able to find her! I'm sure you feel better and got some closure and peace about that situation. As I said, you were there for a reason in her last days on earth.
So wonderful, Mateo. I love your Snowmantha, lol. I'm so glad you were able to get the info about Brandy, and I'm glad she was able to receive some kindness from you on her last day in this world. Blessings to you and Lars, and Happy Birthday. 🎉❤
Thanks for Brandi update, I was hooked on you at that episode. Stay blessed from a truck driver that watches.
Happy Birthday Mateo! Lars the snow cat! Ice Spice the snow woman! You guys make the greatest trio! FYI - roll the snowballs in the snow to make them bigger, a little moisture in the snow helps and that snow looked really dry! RIP Brandi! 😇🪽
Happy birthday to you, Mateo. This is one you will always remember. So very pleased Brandy’s family reached out to you, it was heartbreaking to see your grief at her passing. I was pretty sure you were carrying that with you. Now, knowing she has not been forgotten, hopefully your heart can be lighter.
That pizza looked delicious 👍
🎉Happy Belated Birthday! 🥳 I'm in awe that you thought that's how a snowman is made. 😂 We just kinda make a snow ball and then roll it across the ground to make it exponentially bigger. You'll catch on.
I know, so cute - you can tell Matteo didn't grow up around snow!
I’m so happy to hear about Brandy & her memorial service. Like I said in that video with Brandy. You were her angel. Happy Birthday!!🎉🎉 your never alone❤️❤️
Mateo you are so adorable playing in the snow. Lol😂 Happy Birthday!!🎉 If you love snow.. come to Michigan!! I’d love to hang out with ya!! Stay warm my friend. 😂❤🎉
Next time just keep rolling your small ball around on the snow,it will get bigger and that is your base the bottom of the snowman,then form another ball and do the same that will be middle part,then one more ball roll do the same and that is the head. You can use sticks for his arms ,use one of your hats for him.Stones for his eyes, carrots for his nose. Make sure all the balls are not the same size 😊 Forgot to say Happy birthday 🎉😊☃️☃️❄️ Happy birthday 🎈🎂☃️
I stumbled across your channel about a week ago . I’m obsessed your vibe is so pure and genuine. Love seeing you and Lars vibe out . The music is top tier so relaxing . Glad to be a new subscriber ❤
Happy Happy Birthday!!!! Snowmantha was hilarious 😂😂. Glad Lars and us were able to share your special day ❤🎁🥳🎉
So glad to hear the news regarding Brandy ‘s funeral. I’m glad her dog was rescued. I honestly believe her family may become a friend to you. And lady but not least Happy Happy Birthday Mateo!!🎉
Not gonna lie - I love car camping in the snow. Happy birthday to you! Hope you get many more years of doing exactly what brings you joy - especially on your birthday. Also, thank you for the update on Brandy. I'm glad to hear her family was able to lay her to rest and that her pup is with family.
Happy Birthday Mateo. 🎉🎂. So glad that Brandy’s family had a service for me and that her dog has a home - that video was so sad but I think you were meant to meet her and be so kind to her so that her family altimately got to know you helped her. Xx
Happy Birthday!! Oh No!!The Arctic Blast hit him!!🥶🥶🥶 Please take good care of you and stay warm however you have to!💞
Good morning Mateo ❤I hope all your birthday wishes came true 🎉🎉

11:25 HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy Bless Birthday, Mateo. Enjoy your birthday .Stay warm you and Lars.🥳🎂🎁🎈
I'm so glad to hear about brandy's family I've been worried about that
Happy birthday! Snowmantha/icespice was awesome!😂 Glad you enjoyed your day. Also how good to hear that Brandys family has her and the pup is with her family. Hugs. Stay safe.
2:04 the most important things to know are to
1. Take it slow
2. turn INTO the skid
3. LITTLE movements with your steering wheel, don’t over correct.
Freshly fallen snow isn’t so bad to drive in,…after the sun melts it throughout the day and then it refreezes overnight and you’re driving on a sheet of ice rather than the pavement, THAT is when it becomes really challenging!
Hi Mateo and Lars. You weren't alone we were all thinking of you and you had your wee lars. Loved your lady snowman so cute. You would be warmer with reflexives on your windows as well as your curtains as glass lets the cold in and the heat escapes out. Glad to hear that lady's family sent her off with love and her dog is safe and loved also. You both stay safe my friend. ❤🐈⬛
Hopefully upgrading my window covers soon!!
Thanks k!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATEO MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU WITH MANY MORE, AND THANK GOD FOR LARS
What an awesome birthday present to you, hearing about Brandy like that! Thanks so much for sharing with us and thanks for letting us know about her dog too. Happy Birthday, Mateo!!!🎉❤
That clip in your opening sequence of Lars head butting you and that smile that spreads across your face… it’s my favourite.
Every cat parent knows that warm feeling you get from a headbutt from your kitty 💜
I make the same little smile every time I see it!
Happy Birthday, Mateo! I wish you many, many more. Thank you for the update on Brandi. Thank you for giving her that last act of human kindness.
Happy belated birthday Mateo🥳 You didn't spend it alone, you had Lars and Snowmantha☃️ That pizza looked bomb!😃 Thank you for the update on Brandy and her dog❤️ And just to let you know, you went through Flagstaff during one of our biggest snow dumps for then☺️ Glad you love the snow🤍
My friend you need a winter jacket asap.
Minnesotan here with Snowman 101 - you had a really nice start with those little balls. Next time, roll the balls around in the snow until they are the size you desire. The largest ball goes on the bottom. The medium sized one goes in the middle. The smallest ball goes on top. The balls are “glued” together by packing more snow around where they meet. You want wet snow so that it is sticky. To me, it looks like your snow was dry and powdery. Glad to see that you are keeping the child inside alive and playful.
Happy birthday 🎊🎉🎂 and the snow ⛄️ lady looks amazing. Be blessed and safe.
🎉you are awesome and brave. Seniors out here praying for peace, joy , health and safe travels. You’re making me braver….you blessed that young lady on her human journey!!!!Thanks from the universe! Your a blessing❤
Happy Birthday Mateo! You are such a sweet, wonderful soul with a playful spirit! May the Lord bless you and keep you safe! Thanks for sharing your vanlife, it's an absolute joy to watch! Xoxoxo
Thank you for the update on Brandy’s dog. I have been so worried about what had happened to her.
Happy birthday! 🎉 Stay safe and warm.
I would’ve had to let that oven cool off INSIDE next to me…lol
Happy Birthday! I've lived in a snow region my whole life! It is beautiful but yes cold! It takes a long time to learn how to drive in snow! Be safe, boys!! Sending safe travels to you both! ❤
My baby Troy, in my profile pic is 12. We call him bubby, too!❤
Happy Birthday! To get used to driving in the snow do a few donuts in an empty spot and practice braking. Keep your doors and windows closed will help conserve heat. Love your enthusiasm. Be safe, glad family was able to get peace with Brandy and Abby got to be with family
Happy Birthday! Your concern for Brandy was heartwarming. You have such a caring spirit.
I love snow, rainstorms, cold weather…a New Yorker at heart…that’s why I’m now living in NC🥴😁
Happy birthday, Mateo!!! 🎈🎁🎈. Congratulations on Snowmantha!🎉🎉🎉
🎉 Wishing you a Very Happy Birthday! Enjoy the Snow!❄️💙🌧️
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉
This was a fun birthday party .
Tell ice spice I said , CHILL !! 😂😂😂
So glad you heard from.the ladies family and they had something for her .
Stay warm and safe .
😇🙏
Happy Birthday. Advice from a grumpy Canadian. Firstly, all terrain does not equal snow tires. To be a true snow tire the rubber needs to be remain pliable in freezing temperatures, not harden and become slippery. Secondly, you were not hydroplaning but skidding, skidding like hydroplaning is a real sense of losing control but they are different and you could research each. Get a set of snow tires and swap them out each winter season, Kaltire and others In Canada will store the 2nd set and they swap each season. Confidence is when the snow driver loses control, go slow, give lots of stopping space between you and the car in front of you. Driving in snow is fun and you know the scenery is nice, enjoy but stay sharp. Don't park against the curb or you may get buried in drifting snow, the trucks park in the middle for a reason. If the trucks are not rolling, it might make sense to look again before departure. An emergency candle with keep you alive warm, pack one. Sorry to be dad. Happy birthday and looking forward to snowy drone shots but be safe and think twice in a storm.
Also I think you cars heater only produces heat when the engine is running. When the engine is off, no heat.
That’s what I said. I can’t believe people don’t understand that you can’t hydroplane in the snow. Hydro literally means water. Doesn’t take much overall intelligence to do youtuber stuff…
Happy Birthday Mateo! Good to see you and Lars are doing well. What happened that caused snow to accumulate in your van? Wish we knew where you are? I know you're trying to avoid the fanatic and stalkers out there. Maybe you'll share on the member's page. The snow looks great and impressed that the AstroVan had no problems getting you to the store and back. Hey, your Followers and Patrons want you and Lars to be warm, so get your van checked out/ serviced and let us know what we can do to assist you getting it repaired. Obviously, you haven't gotten new wiper blades yet. 🤣🤣Yeah, it's me! LOL! I heard them screeching during your trip to the store. Be safe out there my brother. Looking forward to your next video!
Happy Birthday!! Your little snow woman ( Snowmatha aka IceSpice 🤣) was adorable. You got the good pow for skiing, but not so much for sticking together 😂 I imagine this birthday will be one you remember always. Your spirit is contagious and I appreciate you sharing a glimpse of your life with us all. You are an inspiration. 💜
