PLOWING SNOW IN A BLIZZARD! Lake Tahoe, California - CAT 938G
What a crazy winter so far. We just received a massive 12 feet in the last 8 days, bringing our season total to over 42 feet of snow! We had a couple day break but we are right back into it this weekend with a forecasted 3-4 feet on the way. Stay tuned for more. Hope you enjoy the longer video!

There’s something so peaceful about the snow, the utilitarian nature of the plow, the one man against nature, put in the hours helping out the community. It’s all very satisfying. Thank you for posting.

Awesome driver but a bigger blade even better , Great job guys !!!
Some of the most intense snow plowing I’ve ever seen. Back dragging, snow drifts, stacking, be safe out there sir. This is where the big boys play.

Lololol wtf
Growing up in central NY and living in the NE and MW regions, I’ve always enjoyed plowing/blowing snow… even if I lacked the enclosed cab feature for my garden tractor, I’d still be out there, bundled up like “Nanick of the North”, plowing my driveway and sidewalks, along w/ that of my neighbors…. Always enjoy the ambiance of plowing later in the evening - scent of fireplaces burning logs, the dark and starry sky, the cold making your nose runny and your eyes tearing up, the deafening quiet and stillness of the night, w/ the only noise being the sound of your tractor, blade and it’s tire chains on the packed snow surface…almost a magical time

Even though I don't live up that high, I sure do appreciate what you do for your community. Without people like you, winter life up there would be even more difficult or impossible.

938 g is one of the best size/ era loaders I’ve ever run
This is great, finding awesome videos from last year which just blows this winter away so far. This is a dream job of mine man. Heaven on earth
I was with the California Conservation Corps at their Tahoe Center when this was happening and man it sure was crazy. The amount of calls we got just to help shovel out the roofs of local high schools and elementaries is something i'll never forget. We were out there for about 10hrs a day just shoveling and sometimes it'd rain so we'd all be freezing cold by the end of the day! When it was all done though, it was super rewarding to hear from those people we helped all those cold months :) hopefully the snow doesnt get as bad as it was this yr.
I hope your neighbors appreciate the service you provide and contribute to the maintenance and repair of that beast
As one who has a son in the Homewood area, a big THANK YOU for helping keep those folks connected.
Much appreciation for the hard work you guys do keeping the local areas open and safe.And CalTrans also who keep the main hwys safe 50 and 80. Snow plowers dont get enough credit.👍

In Washington state they fired all the good plow drivers during covid for not wanting to take the “mandated” jab. It ruined access to multiple passes out here for months because the experienced drivers were fired. It was so disgusting that they did that to people that were so important to those areas.

Awesome we need 10 more feet of snow up there. California needs the water. The lakes are gonna be so full It’s gonna be awesome. Praise the Lord need more rain and snow.
It's cool how the snow acts like liquid water when it's being plowed. It's mesmerizing lol.

That's awesome! I'm 44 and live in the north eastern United States (New England) been plowing my whole life, I love it! But for years we haven't had snow like what you got. I'm jealous! Btw you do a great job! You know what you're doing, 110%! Keep it up kid. From one plow guy to another👍
your neighborhood is blessed to have someone with your community ethic and equipment in times like this
I’m jealous. I love clearing snow. It we get next to nothing out here in Missouri. Would love to clear out there, looks amazing!
Growing up in Minnesota, I learned the concept of space management. Basically, it means, where do you put the snow. When looking at new homes I always have that in the back of my head and decided against some houses because there was no place to put the snow. Parts of me would love to take over for these guys to give them a break. Alas, I live in CO and we have our own share of snow. Thankfully, I have a beast of a snowblower. Even with the wet heavy snow we got Mid March, it was still able to throw it far enough. When the snow is light and fluffy, it can throw it about 30 feet!! I love blowing snow, I love being out in the winter helping others out. My neighbors like it when I am out as I do as much as I can of their driveways.
The amount of snow in Tahoe and the Sierra in general is insane this year. Must be a hell of a year for you.
relaxing and mesmerizing. The night vid and snowfall adds something to it. subbed.

I'm watching all of your videos. Not living where you are, we only see a few brief clips on the network news. Your videos give a very real perspective of what you folks are dealing with. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts. They're all well done -- from inside the cab, from the street, with the plow, with the blower, daytime, nighttime.

So much smoother and quieter in snow than typical dirt/rock work. (nixing the backup buzzer a major improvement that everyone appreciates, especially at 3am, they have rear cam on the screen anyway) Modern Cat loaders very pleasing to run.

Yep, that’s a lot of snow. Nice work utilizing the machine in an efficient manner. I salute you for looking after the community. I live in a part of New York that usually is pummeled by snow but this year the most we’ve seen at once is four inches and it was melted by noon the following day. Stay safe
I wonder how well those Cats will work once Cali requires them to be battery powered..🤔 Holy SnowFlakes!
Thanks for all that you do!!!
in iowa, the operators go out of their way to trap our driveways with a packed icemix near the road, usually 3 feet deep and 10 feet onto the driveway.
OMG dude! So much snow! Awesome video! We got snow at the beach in that last big storm, lol. It's definitely been a crazy winter here in Cali! Thanks for the longer video, keep em coming bro!

I wish I could find a place to live where it was like this most of the time of the year. That's a playground for me. I absolutely love plowing snow. I've done guy for many, many years before I retired. I'm 50 years old but I can still plow snow all day long and do it. I miss it. I'll find that job someday soon.

I liked seeing the snow from inside especially during a storm. It was the cold and aftermath of dealing with it that I couldn't take. That's partly what brought us far enough south to a place which averages 3" of snow per year. Much better now.
Wow that is sick haven't had to plow that much snow in. Awhile
What a satisfying job. Nice work!

With that amount of driveways and a shitload of snow to deal with, I am impressed that you are able to feel positive about it. I am happy to live in a neighbourhood where more than 5-6 inch of snow is a rarity in one day. And we also have a fleet of new JCB loaders to push it around for us on those days, so I guess we are pampered. Nice to see what your day is like. Feel free to comment a little more. It makes it more interesting. Good luck.
Scoop You voluntarily live in the environment you should expect to have an impact on your life! Amazing to see the efforts to keep people moving and safe! I sure hope they appreciate it but given our current situation expect that people just complain! Was up there last year un the warm months and the piles of snow were still crazy
keep up the good work
It amazing how the snow flows in front of the blade.
Man. I'm from northern Norway. The arctic. Yet, I haven't seen this much snowfall since like 2001. Is it common for y'all to have winters where the snowbanks grow taller than the loader like what is going on this year, or is this an anomaly? Regardless, you're a good operator, and these videos are fun and relaxing to watch. Great stuff!
