LAKE TAHOE'S SECOND LARGEST WINTER ON RECORD! 700" AND COUNTING - CAT938G Pushing Snow

Lake Tahoe has received more than 700" of snow so far this season , thats 58 feet of fallen snow!! Enjoy a beautiful day of plowing here in Lake Tahoe.
Thanks for Watching!

Griff, great videos and nice to see your face. I would be interested in a video going over your equipment: what you have, how it’s setup, and how you got involved in plowing. Looks like there’s a little more snow in the forecast for this weekend/week and then hopefully you are done…and we can enjoy spring in the Sierras!

[@bikeny]

A friend of mine is in South Lake Tahoe and she recently paid $2,000 to have the snow pulled off her roof. Of course, while the guys were working on the third day of it, it was snowing again, so more snow on the roof. She works at the ski resorts in the area and not too surprising the chair lift chairs are snowed in (well they were last week, don't know about now).

[@waltergabriel3694]

I've been to Tahoe several times. Friends of mine always asked about the 10 foot high marker around the fire hydrants and mailboxes. Now I think they understand

[@DominikKristek]

Great videos! I hope there will be more in upcoming winter season. :)) ... Also the nature looks very lovely, it is very cozy and calm.

[@TravusCooper]

I've never seen that much white gold in my life. Keep up the great work buddy

[@griffgranger]

Me neither, very cool to witness! Thank you!

[@joegilly1523]

@@griffgrangerBig pay day,day,day,day . Glad you had the equipment,lots of maintenance after lots of WORK. It’s like your version of Ground Hog Day. NEVER ending snow. I’m by Syracuse NY. I know snow,but that’s ridiculous.

[@erichanson1740]

Glad to see the lake full of water. But that is some crazy amounts of snow there. Just boggles the mind seeing all that white stuff.

[@bagheerab278]

That loader sure has gotten its workout this year!

[@griffgranger]

No doubt about that! The 938G is a great machine

[@bb-fe9ur]

Crazy stuff 700".... Wow

[@xingoo4435]

Love the videos man!

[@robertlavigne9828]

that Cat is working over time lol

[@racoming1035]

A diesel powered loader? I thought your governor banned those.

[@keithyoung5930]

That's what I was thinking. Maybe it has a long extension cord

[@markbickelhaupt4414]

Cliff, You do a nice clean job!

[@griffgranger]

Thank you!

[@snownek-6236]

think a roof mount spot light may help with the night blowing. nice focused beam little reflection to watch that shoulder. nice vid

[@Ali-ct9pb]

Great job you’re doing.

[@griffgranger]

Thank you!

[@JuniorFan08]

Just amazing! I can't see how it is all going to melt by next winter.

[@Whisperhollow]

Glacier formation.

[@joebly5641]

Once the sun stays consistent and starts getting the earth heated so it’s not so far below freezing every night that stuff melts faster then u think. If the weather stays as forecasted it will mostly be gone in 3-4 weeks.

[@Mrbfgray]

True that if every precip season was like this glaciers would indeed begin to grow again in many Sierra locations, not just anywhere but at higher altitudes (mostly) than this, on North facing slopes and more shaded canyons. Snow shown here will melt off by early to mid summer anyway. Not melting entirely before next snow season is the definition of glacier growth. There is only one left in the Sierras and it's not large.

[@larryhanshew5173]

We are actually entering a new ice age folks

[@waults]

Cat power! I am really impressed with your 938G, I'm guessing it has the electronic traction control? I've spent a fair time plowing in a loader, and there's no way I could ramp and stack MN snow the way that thing climbs. When I watched your earlier vids, I was thinking that blade looked like overkill but could be wider.... now I see the logic in CA snow equipment.

[@griffgranger]

Thanks! Our 938G does not have any sort of traction control. No lockers in either axle either. The warmer climate here allows the snow to pack well enough for the ramps to support the loader. Surprisingly good traction on the ramps

[@edwardprice140]

Could you make an 8 hour video oh that motor purring in neutral ? ASMR

[@kevinmahon4460]

Awsome! You should look into a remote microphone. Thanks for the content

You never see this much again in our lifetime

Those Balderson blades are great!!

[@griffgranger]

They are awesome!! This blade is 25 years old and still works perfectly. Thanks for watching!

[@RomeKG471]

@@griffgranger Yep! We used our Rome K/G clearing blades on our D7E's back in a blizzard of "78" here in NW Ohio, cut and sheared right through twelve-foot drifts, wheel loaders were helpless as we had two inches of ice on the roads right when the temps dropped, it was amazing.

Good thing it's a green re-newable plow

[@Andy2008230]

What kind of tires chains do you have? I'd like to get some like them, need to be able to drive down paved roads. Thanks

[@urbaninterfaceliving4273]

ok, I have a few questions at 37 feet of snow does this mean that the fire season is over before it can even begin, also at 37 feet will the snow still be on the ground at lower elevations when the following year's snow season begins?

[@rainmaker3700]

Time for a chute extension!

[@lostboyslive2119]

they should have a snow melter and tow it behind a blower. I get thats its a lot but the storage problem is being worked on. IMO

[@Robertino12]

Nie mogę sobie wyobrazić wiosny kiedy to zacznie topnieć

[@adamfrbs9259]

Someone stick a "Y" for the Yellowstone show on the side of that loader? Lol

[@johnkaminski646]

How flooded is spring?

[@jeremiahhaugh7974]

I hope for a slow thaw for all of you!

[@tvdinner325]

What do you think he does the rest of the year?

[@bryontharp5790]

The most all time

[@snobear41]

LOL Just had a thought: Never saw snow like this on Bonanza

[@Ali-ct9pb]

Hahahaha. Good one.

[@bb-fe9ur]

That house by they snow ramp with 15' on the roof has to have some damage. The weight would be ridiculous.

[@Kaynos]

Curious to know how long it takes for all that snow to melt. Must be well into May I would guess.

[@griffgranger]

More like August/September!!

[@Rick-ko5sj]

Do you ever worry about a snow push out land slide down the mountain while you’re on it pushing snow? Great video too

[@rainmaker3700]

You mean an avalanche?

[@Rick-ko5sj]

Yes

[@griffgranger]

I’ve never had any issues with the the ramps letting go completely while I’m on it. Sometimes a tire will sink pretty deep, but nothing I haven’t been able to get out of yet. Thanks for watching!

[@juikke]

That is unreal amount of snow! In meters it is over 17 meters wtf😀. I’m from Finland and if we have a lot of snow we talking about 40-50” snow. How long it will take that all of the snow melts, July?

[@Betonrg]

Not on the top.

[@griffgranger]

I think we will see snow on the mountains into august. Ski resorts will be open through July 4th!

[@LottoDub720]

Surely this amount of snow causes major flooding in the summer right?

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

What was your highest snow depth of the year? Did you break the record? 465.4 inches was measured Feb. 14, 1927, on Mount Ibuki in Japan 451 inches was recorded on March 11, 1911, in Tamarack, California

[@Betonrg]

Around 700 inches this winter in Mammoth Lakes and tahoe so close

[@nicloewenhagen5557]

Are you sick of plowing snow by chance? Unreal how much snow you have we have no reason to complain here in Wisconsin 😂

[@fyrman9092]

With that much snow, how much will remain until next season?🤔

[@griffgranger]

Most, if not all of the snow should be melted by next season I would imagine

[@matthewwindisch9449]

Will this snowfall ultimately help with the major drought in the southwest? I hope so..

[@nelsonmartinmusic]

Unfortunately not since it's a different watershed. My impression is it could be a very good thing for reducing drought-worsened fires next season in these areas.

[@timkis64]

caterpillar has recieved more free advertising this year than in the last 20 combined.but when you need to move earth or snow.caterpillar has a tool for the job at hand.

[@krystaldelacruz2010]

800" In Utah and counting 😢

[@youtube7076]

what does it mean to tell in the title of the video, what is 700" AND COUNTING ? does it mean that; the snow now is for 700 days :+0 or is it 700 hours ? or 700cm ?please make it easy for understanding :+)

[@griffgranger]

700 inches of fallen snow, or in other words 58 feet!!

[@walkerd73]

the plowing was nice but the camera angles did not show the strageity for clearing the snow .

[@griffgranger]

Thanks, not too much strategy shown in this video really but check out my other videos! Thanks for watching

[@andyfree9916]

Alpine Meadows

[@anderleof]

So much better than that mammoth mountain channel, that guy's just annoying.

[@jackbrown5184]

Guess the southwest is about to have plenty of water

[@streetrage8694]

Maybe all those libtards won't catch the state on fire this summer for a change doubt it tho

[@paulsmodels]

Most of the water from the Tahoe basin flows back into the lake its self. Some of it ends up in Neveda.

[@Mrbfgray]

It appears that the melting will begin in around 10 days as warming is coming.

[@patpetersen7645]

I guess if you live there you have to own an excavator.

[@willfriar8054]

mommy what is the man in the big yellow tractor doing? don't worry about a thing honey here's the start of the next glacier. it's not a big deal honey in 100,000 years it will probably cover the state. but we'll be long gone. we're moving to Florida

[@kurtsweetser555]

Little snow 15 inches lol

[@jameskirk5906]

Global Cooling! fjb

[@paulsmodels]

That beginning shot is not 58 feet of snow. It's darn deep but not 58 feet of snow.

[@Betonrg]

Snow fall season. Not exactamente snowpack. Much of the first snow fall melted or compacted

[@griffgranger]

Yes not 58ft of snowpack, but 58ft of fallen snow throughout the season so far!

[@joebly5641]

I love how humans have been living the same way for a long time. During covid we polluted less then ever but somehow the weather is changing more drastically then ever. I don’t see why people don’t understand weather doesn’t just change like this so fast by itself. Humans are polluting less yet weather getting worse 🤔 makes a person with common sense think hey they have to be doing something to the weather because it does not work like this. Snow one day 60 the next 20 the next 50 the next weather just does not work that way. Obviously all these lines in the skies behind jets that slowly spread to look like clouds have to be 100% normal even though they were never there my entire life up until 5-10 years ago . Obviously this weird snow that comes sometimes that is melting odd clumping weird and leaving stains on shit is normal . People are so quick to go with the narrative and not think for themselves. Or at least question. Is it fear that the unthinkable could be true? Is it your afraid of being labeled a tin hat wearing conspiracy theorist? What is it because people need to figure shit out or we are fcked and lots of people will have to find out the hard way. until we unite and stand up together for our great nation the bullshit lies and manipulation will never stop.

[@rondean2733]

Not true Lake Tahoe did not see 700 inches!

[@rickvoege]

Yes, it has. Search for uc Berkeley snow lab at Donner pass. 715” as of 3/30. More coming.

[@fiveathome7916]

Must be global warming

[@paulsmodels]

@Larry Bimak Ha ha, that's funny.

[@jimmydcap]

​@Larry Bimak major drought in the southwest now it will be major flooding in the southwest. All those dried up lakes will be full once again.

[@rocnloretta]

The previous term is too easily misinterpreted, which is why we say climate change now.

[@Slide164]

Everything that happens nowadays is global warning!😂

​@Todd Walker too hard to understand?

[@Davidjohnson-zd3bk]

Ya right ..keep believing what politicians tell you!!!! Global warming!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Trump did it he paid someone to put all that snow there 😂😊

Geez , you folks will still have snow at the end of the summer ! LOL ....... Skiing in July anyone ??????? Damn ..... I`m from Northern N.Y. and we get snow , , But not like that ! I Mean , Holy SH$$ !
