PLOWING SNOW IN A BLIZZARD! Lake Tahoe, California - CAT 938G 

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.

The standing wave of snow in front of the bucket is amazing!

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.

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.

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

As one who has a son in the Homewood area, a big THANK YOU for helping keep those folks connected.

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.

Well done!! Great work, I hope those Residents remember you and are grateful!

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👍

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

Mesmerizing! The chains on the tires makes that thing a beast. Thanks for sharing.

Living in Northern Michigan this is absolutely terrifying, That’s an insane amount of snow. Thank you for helping out the people! Good work.

Griff you are absolutely killing it. Very impressive!

Wow thats taking care of your neighborhood i can appreciate that alot thumbs up keep up the good work im sure they appreciate you and dad

WOW insane video thanks! Had no idea that so many cottages could be so close to each other in such dense snowy terrain.

Enjoy the time working with your dad he did a fine job keeping all that work smart man thanks

I enjoy the footage. looks like an enjoyable job.

That biggest amount of snow I have seen. What a machine and service !

Thanks for all that you do!!!

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!

you have a good heart and mind., god bless you always for helping other people, doing on their driveway and the road we salute you sir amazing

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

Fascinated by watching your strategy

Wish I could give you 10 x likes. You’re goodness shines forth. Keep up the noble work, young man.

OMG dude i never seen this lifestyle in my life or even people living in snow like that what a awsome person you must be to help out like that... Thank you very much for the upload really really great content.

Dr. Griff, a gifted plastic surgeon with a REALLY BIG scalpel. 💪 Rock on Doc.😉

I could watch this all day

Hey Family in North Shore Bro n law worked out of North Shore Cal Trans yard. Was there in 80s with snow was over 20' in Soda Springs/Donner. The snow tunnels were awesome.

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.

Around the 7:50 mark. Damn that seems like an insane amount of snow on the roof. Really blown away by the whole thing. 🤯

Running out of places to put that snow!! Looks like so much fun!!

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.

That thing is a hoss. Never seen snow like that in my life. Crazy to see how deep the snow gets up there.

You are good at your work !

I live in Canada in this is the most snow me and my family or friends have ever seen in our lives, by far!

The spring flooding is going to be insane.

Love to watch these snowplow videos, please make them longer.🙏🙏 Great work you do.💙💙

My snow blower for my house broke one year in the middle of a week of bad storms. And I am not that mechanically inclined, so it scared the poops out of me that I wasn't able to get out. A neighbor helped me fix it. But when you have big machines like yours, what happens if a hydraulic line goes out...or anything else. Thanx for posting though...it is kind of mesmerizing to watch

I love plowing for my city ❤️ best thing I've ever done.

I think I’ll speak for everyone in Tahoe and all my co workers at Liberty….. thank you!

I wonder how well those Cats will work once Cali requires them to be battery powered..🤔 Holy SnowFlakes!

I just hope it warms up slow for you guys so flooding isn't too bad

11:34 haha it behaves like water on the ocean, so cool. Never seen that before, thanks for sharing!

That's A LOT of snow at once! Also, props for plowing people's driveways.

Now That's a good size machine with lots of power. Enjoy.

Gotta love the sound of a big beefy cat.

The heat index is 108F outside my window so I searched for snow plowing videos. Thanks much for the post!

Yes it was long but I couldn’t stop watching. I live in Missouri now but come from Tahoe. Thank you for the vid.

“The banks are getting pretty high” 😂😂😂

Such an awesome winter..patiently waiting for some big storms!!!!! LFG

I always end up watching stuff like this late at night

I could get use to this. I’d love to live here.

That CAT 938G doesn't even grunt with a full blade. Impressive.

This dude is out there clearing driveways, my plow man is leaving 4 foot berms. Hats off to you sir.

You did an awesome job! Extreme circumstances and you prevailed!

hi there now thats some snow , john

That Cat sure makes life easier

That’s insane seeing that sea of snow basically flowing in front of your blade

Modern Cat loaders have a very pleasing way about them, I run them just enough to work on 'em, not an operator, but I've seen major improvements over the decades.

First time watching this channel.. I am amazed by how much snow there is! That just blows me away.. how many times a day do you do this route? What a beautiful area too!

i miss having this type of snow...Connecticut hasn't gotten substantial snow like this in years

Finally someone with real chains over there, not sliding around. But the job would have been easier and quicker with a more modern blade. Nice work though. Best snow removal job I have seen from North America.

That really is an amazing amount of snow….and I lived up there in the winter of ‘82…I know what it’s like….great vid!

That’s wild I’d love to come out there for a season and put in work playing in the snow!

Amazing CAT machine 👍and work

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.👍

This is kind of hypnotic after watching a while…lol

Good luck when all the snow starts to melt - more problems.

Nice my family's been doin heavenly's parking lots n all of kingbury forever. Had the hill below that ridge come down on our blower one year

Awesome video

thanks for uploading the video. it's fun, being able to see what you do, without having had the opportunity to do so, too...some exterior pictures of the machine would've been nice.

Nice puffy snow

feels like a dream

I'm sure Lake Tahoe is a beautiful place to live, but I couldn't stand all that snow. And I'm Canadian!

What a satisfying job. Nice work!

Here in the UK last week half the country went into chaos because for a couple of days we had 2-4inches of snow. They should play your video on the UK national news titled ‘this is snow’

now this is what we call a great service!

dam dat engine worked hard on some parts ^^ good machine

Impressed with vid quality under circumstances. NO damned back up beeper a hell of an improvement. Did you cut the wires? :D I can tell which neighbors you don't like, they get a big berm. 👌

Futuristic footage from the shining

Gotta keep the garage clear,

Cool video. Great operating under the circumstances. 👍🏼 I would definietly have cleaned those banks way earlier tho. Would save you alot of potential trouble when heavy snow sets in.

Nice. This is one of the real jobs that matters.

I love it. You Really know the road but I sai d o sht with that car just before u lol

smooth operator as a mechanic and operator myself nice one.

I've never seen so much snow in my life, as a southerner, but wow! The snow is like liquid to the plow! It's mesmerizing to see how the snow moves with the plow! At this point, what's the reason for plowing? Some cars are almost completely covered in snow (which is insane to me). Who are you plowing for? Is it more to just make sure it doesn't become a bigger problem in the future? These are dangerous conditions! Whose driving in this? Also how do you know where the road starts and ends?! I'm sure it's not an easy job, but good on you for helping the community! (Also my questions are genuine questions since I've never experienced snow like this before)

keep up the good work

Rollin snow!

Your equip seems to be running & working likes its brand new

this is the best snowplow vid on utube....all you other guys doing these...go to video school taught by this guy

so satisfying

I’m moving there….. definitely

what a huge snowwave

Greeting from Iceland

Its a jeep, its should be able to get out of there got me🤣
