A major 3 day #blizzard in #california is forecast to dump upwards of 10 feet of snow. On Thursday 2-29 #2024 extreme #wind caused white out conditions at times as blowing #snow. In this #video you will see what blizzard conditions look and sound like. Experience the plows, heavy snow, traffic, accidents and some people enjoying the snow from the major #atmospheric #river event.
The blizzard conditions will last into Saturday.

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 🌴😎🌴

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 KZfaq. :)

@kilodeltaeight 4 ай бұрын

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

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.

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!!
