Love looking at the video and remembering many years ago all the times my jeep with chains on all the wheels got stuck when I lived on the Mt.Rose Hwy at the base of the Sierras south of Reno. Note- Watching the video from my home now in Costa Rica 🌴😎🌴

imagine all that equipment removing snow being powered by just batteries!! good luck with that!!! the batts would die in less than 2 hours if that

Beauty in appearance, horror in real life. Being stuck in a blizzard is imminent death within hours, if you cannot find a heat source. Not something you want to to be exploring alone without backup, or at night. Best watched on KZread. :)

Less than that, really. This storm is bringing gusts over 120MPH in some spots. Windchills at that level are low enough to give you frostbite in a few minutes. It stakes a special kind of person to work for CalTrans or CHP on a normal day, much less along I-80 during winter storms like this. You know it's bad when even snow plows need chains, and It's very easy to see how the Donner Party ended up stranded here.

Kinda like driving in the oilfields of n Dakota on the nite shift, but with lotsa snow. Nothing like doing 3 rail chains on all the axles to get your heart pumping. It's so cold, you just brush the snow off, and on the road again. Btw, gre up skiing squaw kt22

Simple pleasures...the guy at 5:20 has the right idea! Glad he made the cut lol 😄👍

Here comes all the fresh water from the snow melt. Mother nature is beautiful.

I can always count on this channel for the best weather footage. Hope everyone stays safe and the drivers from those trucks were okay.

I've never done that before!! Lol. I can blame my dear Dad, for getting me started doing that, before I had a drivers license in Michigan!! Good practice for winter driving, with any vehicle, as it may save your behind one day. I encourage all new drivers to find an open parking lot and go play, so they won't panick when things start to get slippery. And oh, I've never tried it with an 18 wheeler either!! Peace out.

Three day nlizzard even looks scary from North Dakota! Be safe folks!

Welcome to Nevada and Placer Counties, CA, where this footage comes from! Former Nevada/Placer County resident (Nevada City and Auburn, CA) checking in and watching the weather from Twin Falls, Idaho, where we are currently getting the snow and wind from this event at 2:20 pm, Sunday, March 3rd. Would NOT want to be anywhere on Hwy. 80 right now, but then I know better than to be out in this kind of weather (35 years there did the trick!) Stay safe all!!

This must have been filmed before 2013. Al Gore said there would be no more snow after 2013.

It's kind like a canadian blizzard ~ The ppl in the North of California it's going to have a wonderful late winter season until Spring kicks in - Stay safe!!!!!!

This is NOT DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE folks . . . this happens quite often in the Sierras getting this much snow . . . I've seen pictures of snow so deep in the Sierras that the snow dept is almost up to where the chair lifts travel in spots . . .

Highway 395 in Oregon was having 75mph wind gusts on 2/29/24 while today was white out blizzards at times. Drivers need to slow down because under all the snow is ice.

nice day for a little ski hike .. maybe he was low on chips & beer ??

@1:55 "hey! looks like a fine time to go cross country skiing"!

I don't get why they're stopped, all the pictures of the cars and trucks on the highway, the roads are drivable but everyone is sitting? Are there sections that are drifted over?

Pray for safety of every one.

Ive been backcountry skiing in a storm like this.

Smart Governors and smart government highway officials order all vehicle traffic off the roads when they have excessive snow falls. That way the plow drivers can far more effectively do their jobs and it avoids unnecessary vehicle accidents, injuries and vehicle damage repairs. That smarter and safer approach also avoids having disabled vehicles on the roads and the need for tow trucks blocking the roads which can prevent snow plow drives from doing their jobs.
