Mammoth Lakes is BURIED

The town of Mammoth Lakes and Mammoth Mountain Ski Area is BURIED…lasted blizzard dropped multiple feet bringing the totals to 53 FEET and counting …this video is longer then my usual but a lot happened today , including a busted snow blower, helping out a stuck mini van, and trying to navigate the now narrow roads…and of course plenty of snow

At 5:47, you mentioned that downhill traffic has the right of way. I'd like to politely mention that you are wrong about that. UPhill traffic has the right of way because the driver facing downhill has better control of the car; thus, it's easier for him/her to reverse and get out of the way. Great video.

[@samgentile7494]

Always fill your fuel tank up completely when snow is expected. The added weight helps with traction as does lowering the air pressure in your tires.

[@jskow1208]

Adding weight to the vehicle increases the vehicle pressure (weight per area) on the ground. Lowering pressure in the tires increases the footprint which decreases the vehicle psi on the ground. They counteract each other. On packed snow roads you want the vehicle pressure on the ground as high as possible (ie. snow chains). On unpacked snow where you want to float on top you want to decrease your vehicle pressure on the ground.

[@jeffjansen582]

@@jskow1208 Most are on noseason tires and the rest are on M/S tires which are equally useless, there is nothing better than dedicated high quality winter tires, and good chains when required. Smaller and narrower fitment works best, been running that for 45 years. Cheers

I’m in Columbus Ohio. We just had our first February in recorded history with zero snow and mammoth is setting the opposite records. Very Weird weather.

[@glenyoung1809]

Not so Fun fact: People who don't live in snowy areas aren't really aware of just how heavy snow is and how dangerous it is to allow snow accumulation on the roofs of dwellings. Simple rule of thumb, snow to water ratio is usually 10 to 1(for freshly fallen snow in moderately cold temps). This means 10 inches of snow = 1 inch of water. Not too bad right? 10 feet of snow = 1 foot of water depth. 1 cu. ft of water weighs 62 lbs. so now think about it, each square foot with 1 foot deep of water or 10 feet of snow has a pressure of 62 lbs on it. Think about a roof with 1000 sq. ft covering a typical home, or 62,000 lbs of pressure from 10 feet of snow on top, now think about how they build homes and buildings in the mountains. In these vids you see snow drifts 30 feet thick, now ploughed snow is usually much denser but under each of those drifts the pressure on the ground in around 180 lbs per sq. foot, if you ever got buried in it you ain't getting out without help. This much snow isn't fun and games any longer, it's life and death, especially with avalanches with such high amounts of snow in a short period of time.

[@bigdog5217]

There are people over at Donner Pass that have 9 feet of snow on their roofs. Think how heavy that is

[@glenyoung1809]

This is a particularly heavy season and the tight timeframe that most of the snow has fallen in is the challenge. The amount of snow over a whole season wouldn't be all that out of the ordinary, but the fact that it started late December and hasn't let up has made it more difficult to deal with than usual. However, this is a much heavier season than we have had for several years.

Wow, it’s real winter season ! Hoping spring will come but imagine what’s happening also in California was almost the same.? Take care and good luck for a safe drive.

I might be mis reading what your saying but this is in California.

Up hill traffic has the right of way

[@LifeintheEasternSierra]

Not in real life on a mountain road and especially not on a snow covered/icy hill .. there’s no stopping a multi ton truck or bus in these conditions

[@robertvaldez109]

I would make way somehow for a multi-ton truck in any situation., even tho uphill traffic has the right away. Backing up going downhill can be a higher risk.

THE SCARY PART FOR ANYONE LIVING IN BOISE? In very much the same way California had a ten year drought, right before this,...Boise is on the seventh year of its drought, and for the last seven years, Boise's winter weather has been identical to Northern California's! Hope somebody is watching over the Snake and Columbian river basins!
