I lived out there in 1980-1982….I remember it always snowing like this..I remember having to buy a 20 foot flag for antenna and have police check your snow tires and destination before we left from Reno to Tahoe
I can remember taping the ski reports for my friends back east..they couldn’t believe it..skiing in Tahoe..skiing on a 179 foot base with 4 foot of powder..🎿🎿⛷️⛷️
They drive to the nearby highway Café and they find a bus with seven passengers waiting for the reopening of a snowed in bridge. However the driver says that he had only six passengers when he parked the bus. While interrogating the travelers, weird things happen in the diner, with the lights switching on and off and the turntable turning on and off.
Snow weighs 20 lbs/cu ft. And when the rains saturate the snow it weighs twice as that. You need to shovel your roof before you worry about your driveway. Anything more than two feet of snow is a disaster waiting to happen. If you have a 1000 sq ft roof with 5 ft of snow on it you have 100,000 lbs of snow sitting on top.
@@jimgalle1371 that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I wouldn't wish harm on any person but neither is it fair that everyone's insurance rates go up because people like you have catastrophic injuries when their roofs collapse on them because of such stupid thinking. I can only hope no living creature is in the house when if happens and you home policy has lapsed.
Try using a snowblower when snow is less dense with water on the roof top. You never know! Just a thought. Removing snow has to be done by a on-doing-bases, as it falls. Ask me how I know...
Jeez.. they're going to have to remove the snow away from their houses to prevent flooding later..this is intense! We hardly got any snow, here in my city . weirdest winter - way too mild... everything is upside down 🇨🇦🤷🏻♀️. If clearing off a roof make sure you take away sections carefully - if roof is too steep- might be to risky to stand.Snow could knock you right over.. Stay safe everyone..please be careful.🙏🏼💕
If your roof collapses and your not old or disabled you probably deserve it or shouldn’t be living there. This isn’t a vacation spot 365 it’s a tough life living in the snow.
Always been a playground for the rich, 65-75 year old rotting shacks will be removed for multi million dollar homes. They can afford the upkeep in the winter, changing times.
I wish I could see first hand all the Bay Area people that thought it was a great idea to move here in mass and forcing out the locals with high home or rent prices. So many people in their teslas had no idea wtf they were getting into. The snow is no joke it doesn’t play games. It’s beautiful but will kill your ass quick .
Still have yet to see photo of the Donner Memorial statue. The base that the figures stand upon represents the snow depth of the 1846/1847 year (I think about 21 feet).
In '62 thru '64 I lived a mile north of Daggett Pass at 7800 ft (2400 meters). The average snow fall was 180" (4.6 meters). The drifts were 20'-40' (6 to 12 meters) high. I shoveled UP off the roof sometimes, and knocked huge icicles off the eaves with a sledge hammer. Shoveling the driveway dozens of time a month, UP and over, I would then shovel the walls out and away to have room... for more snow
The very reason LOG CABINS were built, but back in the day they knew NOT to build MONSTER SIZE CABINS for single family living, this way caretaking was possible.
Everyone on the east side of the Mountains must be getting a bit antsy... That stuff will melt... Slow or fast? Hum! Who knows? Hum! Grab your inner tubes.

With climate change you get extreme weather from drought to snow to heat to cold. Still at least Lake Tahoe is going to be full this year and if properly managed can hopefully weather some of the drought in the upcoming years when it does happen.
Helps us better understand how the Donner party got trapped in the snow. Imagine horses and wagons.
@@drbamboo9870 Just like they told the LA snowflakes to stay home this season, no cure for stupid.
Poor horses!
Donner party were stupid city folk, crazy that to this day, stupid city folk still get stranded in the area.
Wow! ❤ you’re so very correct.

Early 1980s was the last time. CA had lots of rain, and houses getting mudslides
I was there for '82-'83 as well! THAT'S why I got the hell out of there after that, never to return!

Those piled up roofs show that those home owners are not doing their partZ you can clearly see multiple layers of snow that they neglected to remove.
Exactly...
All the city boys forcing out locals but have no idea what they are doing. More money then brains
There are a lot of vacation homes up there
Thanks for the pic. 😍
I was up inTahoe 1978-82 it dumped back then too, great skiing. Aloha
God, that's so beautiful.

Does the insurance policy cover stupid?
I do not care ... snow on my roof is natural and beautiful ... I will NEVER touch such BEAUTY ... !

See what happens when Jeremy Renners not clearing snow?
There is a fix ; you need steeper pitched roors
Lake Tahoe 1938 68.24ft of snow. 1951 67.65ft of snow. They have a ways to go for the record.

I agree. Don’t wait till there’s 12 feet of snow to start trying to figure out how to get the snow off your roof

22ft ;) meanwhile you have the news pumping up this storm more then ever like this never happens .

Nothing like this ever happens in the east. 52 feet is like another planet.
That is like having your own avalanche. Be safe and stay warm. Check on your neighbors.

No water shortage this year
You always remove snow from the roofs asap to leave it is only asking for trouble to leave snow it will only get worse it it rains !
Average snowfall is 53 feet there.
**JESUS CHRYSLER!!**
Is this made with AI? The voice sounds robotic
Well, get it off the roofs then!! Or you could just continue to worry and see if that helps.
Rain ruined the snow.
1999 called ☎️. They said they want their made up, overused, ridiculous, non-word back.
I have a trip booked for lake Tahoe Aprll 17. Any opinions on whether it would be ok to go.
Sure bitch just try it lol
Everyone on the east side of the Mountains must be getting a bit antsy... That stuff will melt... Slow or fast? Hum! Who knows? Hum! Grab your inner tubes.
Maybe it would be better to say 'Tahoe rappel's with 52' snow' since it would take a mountain climber to get up those heights....🤣
That is the total *as it fell,* it rapidly compresses, some melts and sublimates.
snow will last thru summer
GLOBAL WARMING GOODNESS
Ignorance fodder.

You get the same thing when you manipulate the weather. Mother Nature shouldn’t be played or tinkered with .
@@joebly5641 Welcome to the NWO.
It is called GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM. Blame the Sun for "climate change." Gather the people and protest the Sun ....
@@jimgalle1371 can we just sacrifice the dumb people to the sun and call it a day
It was 10 below zero at my house the other day, which is a prime example of global warming!

Home owners are not removing roof snow they deserve what they get for being lazy waiting for taxpayers to bail em out AKA GOVERNMENT
