I always thought it would be a blast to drive one of those big honkin snow blowers.

Fun to watch when all warm and comfortable at home. Will never ever understand why someone would risk being stuck for many hours on a highway.

Did you ever think that some people just didn’t expect the severity of this storm? People have places to go, trucks need to keep on moving. Before you condemn people for getting caught in this storm, look in the mirror and think of the mistakes you’ve made in your life. Maybe then you’ll have a little more sympathy for people and the predicaments they get themselves in to. Unless you’re perfect of course, which by your comment shows us you’re far from it. Grow up!

Agree. Highway officials knows that Nature is unpredictable. DUH! SHAKE HEAD! True story: I lived in Massachusetts my first 21yrs. ( East Weymouth, Ma. The locals call The South Shore.) Channel 10 13 News a Blizzard conditions February/ 1978. Then while in my 50s. Me & my youngest aunt at time. She explained: She went to work during that blizzard!! 😮😮😮🙄🙄🙄😳😳😳 She made halfway & all vehicles were " parking" on the highway! 😮😮😮🙄🙄🙄😳😳😳 So. She turned around & got home safely. I never knew! 😮😮😮🤔🤔🤔😊😉👍❤️💜🙏

Growing up in New York when we had a blizzard we stayed home. We weren’t selfish and put others at risk to try and save us. We didn’t drive. I’ll never understand why people want to drive in dangerous weather🤦‍♀️🤔🙄

My Dad ran through here in the 60s for Consolidated Freightways. He and his partner got so buried once that the snow plow didn’t know they were there until it ran into them.

We lived through many of those. Glad to have left a few years back before last year and this.

This is great ASMR. Thanks. Thumbs up. subscribed.

I’ve lived far enough from snow I don’t even get cold watching these videos anymore. Snow has become this interesting fluffy stuff again. Lol

The "I'll be ok" syndrome. I'm a trucker, and chained up ONCE, to make it out of there. In winter, there's apps to check for chain laws. If it's that bad, wait it out in safety, on either side, until things get cleared. Be safe out there everyone.

I lived in Tahoe Donnor for many years I recall once being traped in my home for a week before a snow plow cleared our street

This is a big storm but isn't that abnormal for Donner Pass.

Really good video. Brought it home for me.

Blizzard is one thing, Whiteout conditions totally something else! Been in both a few times. I chose Blizzard conditions. Whiteout you barely see your hand infront of your face. You have no choice but to remain in place wherever you are. Best chance of surviving stay in your vehicle.

Looks like typical winter weather in Sweden,,,, We are used to it but even we get stuck sometimes when the plowtrucks don’t get the snow of the road fast enough. At least 4-5 weeks every winter is like this and the rest is icy roads and snow for at least 3 month. This winter started early in november and has been loooooooong. 🤪 I really hate this time of year. 🤨

Snow during winter is beautiful until a Blizzard hits then it becomes very ugly and in some case life threatening !

Not sure how it works in larger cities but my town used to allow the drivers to take the vehicles home the night before the storm or they’d be on call before the storm at the police station/city building.

When all of this melts, it will sure help fill those low water basins.

How do you get the overhead videos? Are you using drones? I didn't know they can fly in high winds and with snow coming down. I would think it would be easy to lose one and they can't be cheap with the camera onboard. They can really get down close and go a long ways.

Im from Florida and seen some wind but with snow and sub-zero temps?...no,no,no...

lol. blames the trucks. good thing you have food and a computer to bitch on.

So many people headed out in a Blizzard that would drop feet of snow and yet how many had the proper tires? Few drivers have Snow chains and are driving rear or front wheel drive cars which are utterly useless in deep snow let alone packed up snow and ice!😊

What a great time to be out in that in an EV! But run out of juice and maybe someone can bring a 5 gallon can of electricity so you don't freeze. OK, I also have to wonder why no one closed the road and allowed that to happen.

Why the hell do you flip the video from left to right? as someone that spent 40 years in Tahoe its insanely confusing when you reverse all the video!

Were chains required on that drone?

You can check last winter in this area in KZread. This winter is nothing copared with the last year. Around 700 inches of snow in the same area.

Wouldn’t want to be stuck out there in an EV. You can idle a ICE for many hours and stay warm. The heater drain in an EV in that weather would be a problem.

So sad. The bad news is that this will cost some their life. more bad news is that this cripples local business that relies on winter activities for survival. more bad news is that in spring it will all melt at such a rate that we wont be able to contain it for summer use and will have to just let it pass and go into the ocean.

Chain control points are routinely set up on I-80 where everyone is stopped and checked. If you don't have chains you turn around and go to a local store and pay 3 times as much for them. Then you can also pay to have someone put them on for you. This is done every year so it is routine.

Clickbait bullshit. Sure, there's a storm. Less than the big ones they had last year, and not a problem for the people in the Sierras and Caltrans, because they deal with this and more most winters.

5:53 - 6:02 in video duration, There should be laws against this because the passengers got out of the car to push it while the driver was ramping up the acceleration while a passenger person was attempting to push the vehicle from the side of the vehicle instead of from the back, it looked dangerous and the wheel actually spon in the direction of the person standing there... if the vehicle lost control it would/could have injured his leg badly. #BeCarefulAndBeSafe Seconds from disaster, luckily that wheel didn't get any traction.

How stupid do you have to be to keep driving a highway when you know that there's a storm there thats going to drop 8 - 10 feet of snow? Why would you want to drive where you know its going to be a disaster. People are dumb.
