Back around the time of the San Francisco earthquake, my grandfather worked for the railroad in Truckee. After a couple of years, he went back to PEI to visit family. They tried to get him to stay on the Island, but he wanted to go back to the railroad, fully intending to go back to Truckee area. He made it as far as Portland, Maine, where he worked before going to California. He stopped in to see friends, was offered a job at the railroad and stayed. He never went back to Truckee. I have his railroad pocket watch that he purchased at a jewelry store in K Street in San Francisco according to the note he put with it.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this! I’m at 1800 feet and no snow for us, just rain and wind.🌬️ Glad to see Bri doing so well. And I love her flower jacket. 😊
In the late 70's we lived up there near Meyers. We lived in Christmas Valley, on Blitzen Road. We moved there right after high school, married and had our first child there. 25 years later we took our 5 children up there skiing. I love all the beautiful nature of Tahoe. I remember when they would dynamite blast to keep Echo Summit from avalanching on motorists. Traffic would be backed up for miles. Stay safe and enjoy life.
Be careful!! Two of us got sent to the hospital by ambulance from sliding cars down Apache! I slipped and broke my rib and another girl got pinned under a car and broke her leg. Paramedic slipped and hit his head. Have to hire someone now to shovel snow off my deck because dogs can jump it now and get away.
Your calm and meticulously-shot guidance via your channel not only helps me figure out my day going up (or not) to Truckee, it also reminds me of the powerful beauty that makes Tahoe such an awesome place. What an amazing difference elevation makes in California!
That’s crazy !! But that the kind of snow I grew up in upper Michigans U.P. and now ? hardly ANY snow !! I thought I’d say I miss it - but I actually do. What a beautiful place and still hard to believe one place can get all the snow at once hey ?? Be safe and thanks for the vid !!!
Yes very dangerous as accidents happen very quickly and set you back from everything! I am in Maine and have lived up in Tahoe back in the 80’s! I fell and broke my dominant shoulder! Terrible pain for three weeks! Please don’t do it!😱 Thanks for your video! My son Scott lives up there for 25+ years! Works at Alpine! So I watch tge videos to see how bad it is! Glad you have not lost power! Good for you! Beautiful snow! We are all loving you videos! Thanks so much! Your dogs are so great! Nature is fierce these days! Maine got brutalized in Jan ! The 30+ waves tore at the coastal areas! Bad! So know you you are not alone ! God bless you both! Keep smiling life is good and our bodies do heal! 👍🙏🌺👍🌺✅❤️✅❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹❤️❤️🐾❤️❤️🥰❤️
The pups love the snow!! A good friend, now gone, had a Westie who absolutely adored the snow. Would make his own tunnels in it, when all would be visible was his black nose!!
Beautifil scenes ✨ Thank you for sharing your experiences up in Tahoe!! I love it up there and miss it. Enjoy the peaceful moments of walks on snowy days ❄️
Bri is doing real well for someone who had recent brain surgery. My wife fully recovered from hers years ago, although it was confusing at first everything worked out. Nice wethah!
I grew up 2 hrs north of Montreal, Quebec. This would be a normal winter scene except we didn't get as much wind. But we got LOTS of snow. It was beautiful, peaceful and so quiet. As kids, we loved it.
WOW. Crazy amount of snow there!! Thank you for sharing this! I’m glad to see Bri has recovered from her procedure so well, she seems like such a sweetie!♥️
when you live in snow country like the sierra you want to 1) park your vehicles in a garage or covered space .. 2) invest in a snow blower 3) get studded winter snow tires 4) even with 4wd put weight over the rear axle (cinder blocks are best) ..
We had a blizzard last weekend. Nothing like you have, but a blizzard nonetheless. The snow was up past the back bumper of my car - well over my knees. Theres no way we can get out We knew this storm was coming, so we had time to prepare with supplies etc. We will be getting plows coming through tommorrow - a week after the big dump of snow. Do want you can, around the house, without over doing it or hurting yourself. Pace yourself. Otherwise wait for plows. Make sure your house vents ( if you have any) are cleared of snow.
Wowza! I'm so glad you were able to blow out the neighbor's driveway yesterday! LOL I wonder how much snow you guys actually got. I guess it's time to bust out the skis and play in the road, it's not like you will be going anywhere for a while. Yay for the power still being on!
Stumbled upon your channel, really enjoying the coverage of the blizzard. I'm from Ohio so I've never been exposed to anything near this. Stay safe! Look forward to upcoming videos, especially the ones regarding your road cleanout. Hope you film some of that! Again, stay safe!!
I was just google earthing the usmc mountain warfare training center west of Bridgeport CA yesterday and there was a blizzard warning that popped up on the map. I went to my weather app afterwards to see what the extent was. I'm a dork
I went to a couple's home in a neighborhood below Echo Summit. That is a 1000-foot drop. Years ago they changed the bank on the road and it has bothered me ever since.
The doggos looked so happy! Bri looks terrific. You are a master of the snowblowers!!❄️☃️🐕🦮💞❄️☃️💞❄️☃️ no more wasting time,I've got to go dig out!!😅😅❄️☃️❄️☃️
I'm kind of jealous! I live in the Northeast.. in Boston, ma. We usually get nor'easters and blizzards. I got a black lab puppy last winter and this winter would have been her first time in the snow! I was looming forward to snowy hikes.. but the past few winters we've gotten no snow. This winter we got a total of maybe 3 inches.. and last winter as well. Definitely not normal for us. I really want one good blizzard!!!
it wasent too cold out there lol. yall just walk through the snow so casually. But I'm from Louisiana so I don't know how snow works. Yall stay safe out there
For your sound track it should be let it snow let it s snow Christmas song LOL weather man says every snow flake is different shape that's crazy and you need a dog sled to get around
Wow - In a way I'm envious. So beautiful up there, but good grief, that's a whole lot of snow. Really good to see Brie doing so much better. I wonder about the dogs. Is frostbite ever an issue? How do you mitigate it? They look happy. Blizzards are not to be underestimated. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the nice comment. Frostbite can be an issue so we just have them out for too long in these conditions. Booties if they will let you put them on.
Why are you the only one out? lol. I see you couldn’t get along without the snow blowers but I’m still curious why none of you have your own plows too. 😊
Always the guy snowblowing his problem onto his neighbor's property...at this point just keep it low and into the road right? They haven't touched the road
Why would you blow it on to the road when the plow is going to push it right back? The neighbor probably doesn't care, at least around here we work together and the way the wind was blowing that was the most efficient to get it totally clear over the road as long as you're not getting it on someone's driveway.
@@stevenbernier4206But that’s exactly what it looks like, carelessly throwing it at his neighbors car/driveway. If you can’t control where you are blowing snow (you can’t leave anyway) don’t do it
The the way it is, I guess. I was on the eastern side of the mountains yesterday (Saturday). I wasn't all that impressed. Snowfall totals along HWY 395 weren't much at all. Snow level was 5000. I suppose way up on Mammoth mountain things were happening, but some wind gusts on the highway was enough for Caltrans to close it. The little hotel I had a reservation with, told me that Caltrans told them to shut down on Friday because they already planned to shut down the road. I have been trying to get storm snowfall numbers in the Tahoe area, it's not easy, but it's safe to say around 2 feet. Then the wind blew it into big drifts, and everyone is taking to calling this an epic storm. It is still officially winter and what we have seen of this storm looks rather typical of the I-80 chaos when it snows.

Precious memories!
That’s interesting. There is no K Street in San Francisco. Could it have been K Street in Sacramento, CA?
That was an awesome video. Thank you for sharing! I lived in Lake Tahoe for 16 years and loved it. Now I live on Catalina Island and love it.
Quite a contrast.
Wow !! Your one lucky person !!!

Beautiful place, is fun reading these stories about Tahoe, it has changed so much as has the greater Bay Area. Good times.
X mas valley is beautiful! you guys would get twice the amt of snow just a few miles away!
Be careful!! Two of us got sent to the hospital by ambulance from sliding cars down Apache! I slipped and broke my rib and another girl got pinned under a car and broke her leg. Paramedic slipped and hit his head. Have to hire someone now to shovel snow off my deck because dogs can jump it now and get away.
Yikes! Hope you get better soon!
Man what a mess that was! So sorry for all of you! Hope you get through this ok now
Wow that’s crazy, glad you’re ok..

In the spring, the melting snow run offs (waterfalls) will be amazing, especially on West Shore, running off the mountain.😊
yes they will

absolutely adored the snow. Would make his own tunnels in it, when all

we will and thank you!
And here I am in upstate New York and I only used my snow blower once this entire winter and that was for 6 inches. Stay safe !
And 70 degrees tomorrow predicted! Crazy for March 4th in western New York!
thank you!
Thanks for showing us the snow accumulations from the blizzard. Crazy wind drifts in your neighborhood. I always enjoy your videos.
thanks mate!

Love your coverage of these storms. Your street is buried this morning. I'm sure this is temporary. Nice video of walk in the firest. Stay warm!
thank you!
Great video, love the blog. Awesome scenery and great narrating the events of this historic Blizzard. Be well and stay safe. From Boston MA
thank you!
So the season begins 😬❤️🙏🏽👍🏾Love the beautiful snowfall; the area is absolutely gorgeous!!
yes it is!
I love watching your videos and so well done! I miss the winters in Alaska and Colorado. Never experienced them in CA though ... beautiful!
thanks so much!
Okay, the question is-------Who's in charge at your place? Answer----Mother Nature, that's who! Whew! Absolutely beautiful. 👍
well said

My truck got hung on a downed tree up in the mountains of Southern Oregon yesterday and a chainsaw saved my day
We just need to build a garage or carport

Need a Snowmobile to get around today.
yup. Maybe next season we will have one
Lots of great deals on CL and market place on used sleds in your area and Truckee
That’s more snow than we’ve seen in Syracuse NY in 2 years!
I want to ride that powder so bad before it melts in spring. Have so much fun riding the powder.
Me too!
thanks mate!
Awesomee, but just hope no one has a medical emergency.
for sure. In those cases they do have a plow followed by an ambulance. I saw this last year.
Wowza! I'm so glad you were able to blow out the neighbor's driveway yesterday! LOL I wonder how much snow you guys actually got. I guess it's time to bust out the skis and play in the road, it's not like you will be going anywhere for a while. Yay for the power still being on!
100% on the power!
Praise the Lord that Bree is around and walking after brain surgery. God is good.
yes!
Thank you for sharing be safe , God Bless
thanks mate!
I just can’t imagine multiple feet of snow. It’s kind of a big deal when we get like 8 inches in NYC

hard to believe the difference between the main drag live stream with traffic moving normally.
Thanks so much for the great, frequent vids.
Our pleasure!
I went to a couple's home in a neighborhood below Echo Summit. That is a 1000-foot drop. Years ago they changed the bank on the road and it has bothered me ever since.
yea it is quite steep down to the SUT neighborhood
I’d love to go cross country skiing on that.
Glad your both safe and strong.
Be careful walking under trees when it’s this windy.
Lots of work ahead.

@jqentertainment6966 In the 70's ? In MN? Really? 59F in Northern Cali.
Thank you for sharing , I'm in Reno Nevada .
no worries. How much snow did you end up with.
People in Florida, see what you are missing . Just the sound on my 32” snowblower starting up gives me goosebumps . 🤪
ahhaa
Holy moly! ❤
I just visit Lake Tahoe before the blizzard
butter, avocados, cheese , healthy fats for Bree and IV vitamins.
for sure!
very nice thanks for sharing
no worries mate!
Hope you see a Grader today..won't do much but give you a big burm and a one lane road. I'm sure they are having a little trouble with all that snow!
spot on!
Glad I'm in Minnesota where it's in the 70s today

What’s it like from the bottom of Washoan back to Pioneer Trail ?
sorry haven't been done that way. Pioneer trail is good to go.
Great video!! Be safe everyone🤗
Thanks! You too!
Would be nice to see a measurement like a tape to see how high those drifts are. We had two terrible storms here in New Jersey each were 2.5" inches.
I should have done that. Next time!
Love your dogs.
me too!
That road probably remains like that till end of march!!😅
hahaha
Just a thought…in a few years you’ll be using an electric snow blower. Good luck with it.
possibly
All my dogs loved snow except my little chihuahua!
I assume Everyone around there was prepared. Will you have enough gasoline?
except for the people renting air bnb's. We had enough gas!
Hi 👋.. please share if you have a video of removing snow from the car 🚙 showed in the end of this one…
Coming soon!
Where are the snow plows? Is there a municipality that is responsible to plow?
yes they are working hard to keep the main streets clear.
What neighborhood in SLT? I used to live in Montgomery Estates
👍❄️❄️
WOW this is like last year or is it?
this one storm was bigger than any one storm last year but the total amt last yr was insane!
That’s a rough place to live in winter. What’s property taxes like? Mine keeps going up 30% every year in Eastern WA State.
very high unfortunately
Why are you the only one out? lol. I see you couldn’t get along without the snow blowers but I’m still curious why none of you have your own plows too. 😊
I thought the same thing about the plow. Maybe for the neighborhood. A thought.
I wish I had more money then I would have one for sure!
Which neighborhood do you live in?
Didn't you guys get more snow last year than this year?
yes but never this much in one storm. And the winds were never this strong and consistent.
Just joined the site.
I have a question : Why do you do the house across the street?
I agreed to help them out with this storm. Everyone really does help each other in our neighborhood.
@tahoemountainlife
Good to hear that. Not enough people do that now a days.
What is the total snowfall so far there?
likely 3-4 feet. Hard to tell with the winds though.
LIVING LARGE DAN HOPE YOU KNOW IT ...
Sure do, we feel fortunate to be here!
Just curious what’s your home ?elevation
about 6600'
Certainly no hype with regards to this storm!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Looks like MN on steroids
hahha
What did you mean by "They're _bombing_ at Snow Summit" ?
must be avalanche control
They use explosives to help control avalanche risk at Echo Summit (hwy 50)
