Without these videos I wouldn't believe it. It's like a nightmare that won't end. Hopefully the sick and elderly are being looked after. Thanks for sharing.
I would have had a heart attack 15 minutes in to that. Good job. Good luck for you guys. I am praying the flooding will not too horrific when it starts
Really enjoying these videos, I’m exhausted just watching you remove the snow, hope you keep the videos going would love to see the area without snow! keep safe!
This area is one of the most beautiful sceneries that one can see. Close to the mountais you can find lakes one next one ,Just five minutes driving from Mammoth Maine street. The lakes are alpine style with crear water
Great videos. Who would have thought pushing snow mountains was actually captivating? When the weather is beautiful up there, it's REALLY beautiful up there.
I've been watching your videos. Incredible how much snow has covered your town and how everyone keeps pushing forward. I've been praying for everyone. Thank you for sharing.
Marathon shoveling for sure! The current weather is certainly conducive for those damaging ice dams. Hopefully, it warms up enough for them to dislodge. Just incredible! All the best, Kevin
What a great job you are doing on your home. I am so sorry Ed for you and pray you don’t fall or injure yourself. Stay safe, your family needs you. I appreciate your updates and videos recording this bit of history. And a huge part of history you are making! I feel for you with all this hard work you’re doing. I get it. I M 67 and I have to keep up my property on my own. But I’m blessed to be below the snow line. Just under. Lots of spring clean up is awaiting me. Loved seeing the slow motion on the skidster. Cool piece of machinery. What a blessing they are to you and your neighborhood. Looking forward to no more snow for you, but I know more is coming, but I hope and pray it is little. Give Rin a good pat on the head for me. What a good pup.
Thanks again for the videos. This is so interesting to watch. It seems to me to be a hopeless task, but you, and everyone, just keep pushing forward. Good luck!
Wow!! Thanks for sharing. I don't know how you and many others there have the physical and mental energy to deal with what now looks like miles hi of snow. Please take care. Wishing you well and praying for everyone there for their safety.
Brother, all I can say to you you’re a hard worker. I don’t know how anybody can stand living in where you are. Be safe man. Be safe, God Almighty, what a lotta snow.
That's hard work but it definitely keeps you in shape - I'm in Montreal and get only about 7-8 feet of snow on average per winter, and it's rarely the heavy stuff like you're having to remove; thank goodness.
I can't even comprehend that much snow. I grew up near Lake Michigan and we had quite a bit of snow with lots of snow days but nothing like what you have experienced.
Another great video. Thank you for keeping Us updated. The building in the shopping center that had ALL that snow on the roof was absolutely crazy! They're very lucky it hadn't collapsed yet. I saw another video that looked like the same roof, but he said it was a Vons store. Stay safe being on the roof. I hope your wife appreciates all the work you're doing to keep your home and family safe. You have amazing strength! Keep the videos coming. All the best to you and Everyone up there dealing with this mess. God Bless 🙏 Bev Ann
Your comments are good; people are asking you to keep safe from falling and also keep safe from heart attack. Amazing snowfall videos you made from the many weeks of severe weather.
Thanks for your great videos! My wife and I are watching with a bit of awe from the sunny Western Cape of South Africa! Hope the next storm is a touch more gentle!
A navy friend stationed in Conn described one bad winter where all snow had to trucked out of town to a mall parking lot. Now I understand. Unbelievable until you see it.
That house at the 5:00 mark is _entombed_ in snow. I know you said it was buried, but I don't think that word quite describes what we're seeing there. Holy....
Hauling snow away in a dump truck because there is no place near to push it or blow it says it all. Thanks for showing the weighted averages at the end. 😀😊🤩😍😇Mammoth town should hold an old fashioned May picnic for everyone with special individual recognition for those public servants operating heavy equipment. Yesterday, I created a driving route from where I live in Reno to The Liberty Sports Bar with intent to visit the town of Mammoth Mountain after the floods & mudslides & buy a meal.💘💝💖💗💚💚💚 Thank you for showing MEeee in real time what's really going on @ 9,000' along the Eastern Sierras. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
I always watch mammouth mountain life, then your videos, always seem to post new ones back to back, and its funny because you guys seems to film the same things at the same time, but totally different elements to, keep doing what you're doing
You guys have got a huge buttload of snow everywhere! The upside is the pine trees up there will really benefit from the extra water from snowpack melting later in the year. Great video, lets folks know just how nasty things can get when storms get that intense. Thanks and stay warm & safe!
Did you see that a ski resorts' lift was totally showed in? They dug out a trench so the lift could still move, but after Tuesday's storm, the snow was almost completely covering two of the posts that the lift circles around! I immediately thought of you and how you take us along on your drive down near and through the resort in your town!! Thk you for your channel and your content!
Excellent job. Have lived in Michigan and Pacific Nw, I know what you are going thru. Hard work,but satisfying. Also be careful of those sharp icicles. Have been told you can get bad infection ,if you are cut by one. ! ! ! Be safe and cautious. Keep looking up. Your you tube in my FAVORITE 😮😮😮
Love all the videos and you sharing your content with us! One thing, you're making me nervous on that roof with no harness and not being tied off. Safety first, brother. I hate to see anything happen to you with a fall onto that driveway. Falling onto the garage could be OK...the driveway is a different story. Just some friendly advice. Best of luck with the upcoming storm.
I hear your concerns about safety, I also understand the need to get the snow off the roof. Remember this snow is unprecedented. It's been more than 35 years since these communities have seen so much snow, and ten feet of it came in overnight. I am glad to be living in the county of Los Angeles with the rain, and no snow. I'm praying for all of you in the mountains, for the snow to be landing in Nevada, and further East
You should put a blue tarp big enough on the lower part of the roof on the garage. When you’re shoveling off your roof, then you have might have it easier to slide the snow off the tarp.
Years ago I lived a similar experience and it became popular to use a long roll of plastic, secured at the roof peak with a 2x4 attached, and shovel the snow onto it as a slide off of the roof.
I love your commitment to these videos. Keep up the great work. I enjoy every update you post. One thing I am pretty curious about, why doesn’t everyone in that area have tin roofs? Wouldn’t it be a lot easier for homeowners if the snow just slid right off on its own? I feel like businesses can’t really do that simply because of customer safety but homeowners should be able to.
Yes, you be careful on that roof! We don't want to recognize you in one of those "snow removal fails" compilation videos! Lol! Great work and hope you can get what you need to accomplish done.
I hope you enjoyed those beautiful blue skies. Hope your kiddo feels better soon. Those guy on the shopping center roof must get paid by the hour. Talk about slow and minimal amount of snow in each scoop. Screw that lol.
After the snow has melted, please do a soil moisture test to discover how deep the water got into the land. I've heard that during drought the land can't absorb moisture because it's so compacted.
Life in Eastern Sierra, I stated this because I don't know your first name. I seen some of your videos but not all of them. I was thinking, if there is relatively flat land between these houses that the neighbors agree to blow the snow to backyard straight back from the street in beginning of winter. That way it would fill in from the backyard between the houses to the street. Each neighbor would then have less snow besides their driveway. I'm a Vietnam War Era disabled veteran. I did not serve in Vietnam but I was stationed at Clark Air Base a support for the military at Vietnam. My disability was originally because of my lung involvement because of Sarcoidosis a autoimmune disease. That and my back because of Scoliosis. My lungs are better and my back isn't too bad. That being said, my heart says I be out there in Lake Tahoe or down to Mammoth Lakes area and helping disabled veterans or disabled non-veterans in clearing off roofs,etc. But my mind says I can't do that. Yes my heart says I do this in a blink of eye to help people. I live in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. Gary
Can't even imagine the issues you guys are going to have when it all starts melting with all these piles next to buildings and homes. Crazy amount of snow!
I live in the UK where two inches of snow freaks people out. A lot of roofs have feet of snow on then. Has it been the case of too much to clear because it's been relentless?
So is the ski mountain still open? Are visitors still coming up, where are they staying? It’s a complete disaster up there. I’m so sorry for everyone who lives there. And you be careful you have a family they needs you 💕
Halfway through this winter I would be figuring out how to build a ramp to get the snowblower up on the roof & garage roof instead of hand shoveling every 2-3 days...... you guys will all be skinny & fit come spring lol
Watched several vids of people building a shoot out of a ramp of snow and plastic tarp. they just let gravity slide it off the roof after shoveling it onto the tarp. Seems like a lot less work than walking each shovel full to the edge
Not sure how hot it gets in this area in the summer but I wonder (from an east coast perspective) if the snow piles where dumped could last possibly till Next fall??? We had some 35 plus inches outside of philly years ago and the piles in some mall parking lots lasted well into June. we get some pretty warm Summers 80s thru 90 degreesF... Could they Ship this snow to holding Ponds In your area or lakes if any that dried up?wealways here about droughts west coast?
I wonder how many trees and bushes along the roadways and landscaping next to those parking lots will ever survive. They are under hundreds of pounds of what will surely turn to ice. In one of your videos you have a tree that snapped off. How many others will there be? And it will be a terrific year for roofers this summer fixing those leaky roofs
You got that right, flooding is coming. I only wish the best for the eastern sierras and Mammoth Lakes. I am hoping there is no further damage to anyones homes or condos in the area. However, all that heavy snow buildup has to melt going somewhere. The big thaw is coming with flooding everywhere. Every low spot on these roads will become a small lake. With all that heavy snow piled up blocking every creek and stream there will be water everywhere there is a low spot. Worse may be: heavy snow on roofs and up to the roof on the sides will melt. This melted snow turning to water will head down along the walls of the home. With no drainage at the base of the home to take this water away, it will be forced into the lowest level of the walls of the home. Mammoth Lakes and the eastern sierras live in our dreams in southern california as a wonderful place to visit and play.
Being as polite and respectful as possible; the snow, the (winter) weather there is Crazy! I can only assume that you enjoy the winter sports activities, (life there) probably is great during the summer and fall, but these winters in terms of snow removal - too much. Up north, we may receive 36" of snow - maybe, and from time to time we get winds that create drifts, but NOTHING like you have there. Every home there needs to come with a skid steer on tracks, not one of the smaller ones, the large more powerful skid steer, with a blower and a bucket. A backup generator (maybe even 2 backup generators) - along with sufficient amounts of (backup) propane or gasoline for long-duration use - mandatory. Probably (greatly) enhanced roof truss, perhaps steel roofs - not asphalt shingles and some sort of enhanced water removal system - not just a sump pump system, but something larger, more robust to remove all of that melt-water, when and if the spring ever arrives. It appears that the majority of homes in the area are million-dollar homes, which in today's market, really doesn't say that much: I mean, it does not take a palacious castle-like home to have it appraised at a million or more, but my point is that if one owns a million dollar home (with huge taxes), these folks probably have the resources to purchase a $100k to $200k skid steer - loaded. Still with all of that having been said - the snowfall there, along with winds, drifting, spring melting, and flooding - too much! Wow!
Wow, your spirits are good considering all that shoveling and the new pile in the driveway! 😉 Have you seen this title?

Looks like you have shingles on your roof, would you ever consider a steel roof, we got one after the bad winter of 2015, haven't had to shovel it off since
