Record snowfall and LONG WINTER! | Cabin life in the Yukon

We've had a record snowfall, cold temps and a late spring. This was last week! Check out the recent 12+hr snowfall and how I cope on my own with what Mother Nature has to throw my way.

Oh wow, another snowstorm! I would check flea markets or wait for off-season sales on adding one or two extra-large shovels! You know one near the house, one for the car and one for the quad or near the sheds. Only sharing this since getting older I forget where I've left a broom. 😁

[@CabinDweller]

We don't have any flea markets here but yeah I should look at the stores now for shovels, if they aren't all gone and returned or sold. Haha, I can relate to losing things.

[@elizabethannwest646]

Hi Stacy your dogs are saying come on mom let's run and play in the snow. Sweet babies

[@CabinDweller]

ALWAYS!! 😂😇

[@patriciag.6395]

Time for a big tractor snow plow. Make life a little easier for yourself. You totally rock.

[@CabinDweller]

Maybe one day!

[@davecronise1793]

Great music section, especially the intro! Please promise me this summer you will find a pu truck hood,throw your tires on top and then pile rocks in the tires for weight that way you have a wider driveway packed down. Build a 3 sided leantoo to park your car,truck,plow and 4 wheeler under lord you're killing me lol,kinda like your woodpile shack but a tad bigger.... I know I'm the nagging dad but....lol

[@CabinDweller]

Yes, the plan is to go dump scavenging for a trail groomer this summer! And I'm deciding about whether to start a garage/shop or not this summer...

[@maggie711]

You are not alone we go from record highs to a day of snow, thankfully the warm previous day put enough heat into the road and sidewalk so the snow was only on the grass. Wish all winter was like that.

[@CabinDweller]

I hear ya!

[@karleenwebb2893]

I feel for you . That's alot of snow . Brighter days ahead

[@lylemacdonald6672]

I say move to Vancouver Island (no need for Hawaii) or invest in a quad snowblower attachment. Much less wear and tear on quad and fast work. Until then your mantra will be: "THIS TOO SHALL END!" Lovely drone shots.

[@CabinDweller]

I might follow you down there one day Lyle!! I'd rather be in Canada anyways haha.

[@brett7740]

I miss snow! Bless you! Here in KY we're lucky to get 6 inches a year. Hope it warms up soon! 🌷

[@CabinDweller]

I can send ya some haha

[@birdwatcherjean6293]

As difficult and long as your winter is there, be glad you are up there and not down here with all this covid stuff. Many of us would trade with you in a heartbeat. Spring and summer is on it's way! Take care :)

[@CabinDweller]

That is true! We are pretty lucky here.

[@tomkeltescheverythingoutdo2379]

12 hours of snow. Wow! Not to rub it in, but I'm glad that we're done with snow. I think.

[@CabinDweller]

It was crazy! But hopefully no more of that nonsense haha. You're lucky you're done with it!

[@elisabethe8055]

I dont know about you, but i live on the mark of 61,7 latitude. What is so amazing to me, is that we kind of have the similar weather pattern. Last April spring was early. This April is considered a winter month. This monday, we had well over a foot of snow, and cold, like -6.. GAAAH!! :) Today though, snow is melting away fast, sun is intense and we are in for some warm weather. FINALLY!! :) Birds are chirping away, they dont care about snow, they are all about the daylight. We had spring in March and April went back to dead on winter mode.. I keep my fingers crossed spring is finally here now.. We need a story about the snow shovel, let us know when the sun finds it! :) Thank you for sharing!

[@CabinDweller]

We're similar latitudes! Same weather for sure, April has been a whirlwind of -30 and snow dumps like we've never seen! Where are you located again? Haha the shovel, it disappeared one day. No doubt it's out on the trail somewhere waiting for me to find it!

[@jenniferlaur8850]

Well maybe it will help out for the fire season and hopefully you'll have a longer fall. Fingers crossed.

[@CabinDweller]

That is an excellent point about the fires. I know some people have mentioned that already, it's definitely not a bad thing. And we can hope for a late fall.

Girl you did a great job on plowing and getting 'er done! You amaze me! Girl power! Yay!

[@CabinDweller]

Thanks Deobrah, I had no choice haha.

[@marylong1633]

Not long to go for sunshine ☀️

[@CabinDweller]

It's here now! And it's so bright haha. Snow on the ground + long sunny days = burnt retinas.

[@JL_10acres]

Snow ranting, I am with you! Buy a small tractor with a snow blower attachment and you may never see snow again but if you do it won’t be such a pain in the ass. Take it from an old guy who has been there and done that!

[@CabinDweller]

That is 100% true, it was so much work and effort this year trying to make the road wide enough! Then if we get a ton of snow in future years, I'll look forward to blowing it instead of plowing.

[@foxglove8836]

Very nice Music :-)

[@nena4215]

Oh man, I really feel for you....that’s just awful! I wish we had that snow in Yosemite, looks like another friggin drought for us down here, and they are so hard, so hard...people are just too stupid. You do all you can to save water and other people live like there’s all the water in the world, so unfair and it gives you the worst anxiety! But, you did it, got that shit done, you’re awesome! I hope nothing stops you and you get your water! Thanks for the episode

[@CabinDweller]

Oh no a drought is horrible for sure! I learned to value every little bit of water once I started hauling it myself! Hope you get lots of rain this summer.

[@thebushtelegraph8865]

We found you channel yesterday and thank you for sharing your journey of life in the Yukon, What a truly beautiful winter wonderland within which you live...we are currently on the opposite end of extremes living in Australia with the heat of the summer and would be happy to take on some of your snow if we could get it down here somehow 😊...and nature sure is the best motivator. It can sure give a good motivatonal kick up the whatsit sometimes....gotta love nature ❤

Thx for watching! Opposite sides of the world or what!

[@LittleChena]

I hear you, girl. Same weekend we got 18 inches here in Alaska. 2 days before I had my hard pack removed. Totally snowed in. I cried! 😂 My neighbor came over with his loader and did my driveway again. There was no way I would do that with my snowblower. Have a long driveway too. Couldn’t get out for 3 days because the road wasn’t drivable. It’s a small gravel road, we are the last on the list. It was a long winter. I really hope we are done with it!!

[@CabinDweller]

Gah I feel your pain! I just about cried too! Good thing you have a neighbour with a loader! I really hope this is done too...

[@victorfortin542]

Like I said before, you need a blower for your ATV. That’s a crazy amount of snow to get in April .

[@CabinDweller]

I was REALLY wishing I had one last week. It would have been perfect, the snow was light and fluffy. I'm going to see how much it would be to install and buy when I take the quad in for maintenance later. That said, this year was an anomaly for snowfall. It broke 100 year records!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Wow the snow just won't stop. You got a ton and a half for sure eh!!! Nothing worse than having to plow and shovel when you're in a hurray!!! Stay strong, summer can't be far off!!! Take care!!

You did a great job! Would a blade on the truck do the job?

[@CabinDweller]

Thx Elizabeth! Probably but we never usually get this much snow so it’s not usually an issue.

[@MW-nOttawa]

Nice video. Do you think April 20th roads will be decent enough to drive to Dawson with truck and trailer? Coming from Ottawa

[@CabinDweller]

That’s still winter! But who knows this year. Haven’t gotten much snow and temps are pretty warm. Just have good tires, 4wd and don’t speed!

[@graniteridgegreens6278]

In being self sufficient I'd suggest a blower attachment to the front of that 4 wheeler, much quicker and keeps the banks down not needing a snow push area. You could do the Ken method of 1/8 mile swaths walking behind a 5 hp 24 inch blower for a total of two miles! Having a front end blower with it's own engine works so well leaving time for all the Other Chores we choose to live! Lol Cheers and Peace Out

[@CabinDweller]

A few people have suggested that but it's a big investment for an area where we normally don't actually get that much snow. This year broke records, it was insane. I'm gonna price them out though haha. I agree, I'd love to spend way less time plowing!

[@graniteridgegreens6278]

@@CabinDweller look during the summer when others are looking at gardening. I'm looking for a three point hitch PTO snow blower for my new old tractor just delivered last night. Much cheaper to purchase when it's hot and sticky. New videos going up soon of the next steps at Granite Ridge Greens

[@debb9008]

you need a snow blower for the 4 wheeler lady... and no i dont want to trade places... i do not like snow and cold... even tho i live in south dakota... some day i will be able to go south for the winters and just live in my van...

[@CabinDweller]

The funny thing is, everyone is telling me to get a snow blower or something but we never get this much snow. It’s usually not a problem to clear since we’re considered a ‘semi arid’ climate! But I hear ya, living in a van in warmer temps sounds amazing.

[@MB_07]

Geez Louise that’s a lot of snow ❄️. The snow looks pretty on the trees. Lots of work but you sure get the job done. Did you make it into town okay? Spring is coming. Have a nice day.

[@CabinDweller]

I did! I just realized I left everyone hanging about that town trip. Made it the next day!

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

Oh my gosh! You poor thing! I’m sorry you’re having such a loooong winter! You definitely need some Baileys in that coffee! I’ve been afraid of sending the drone up when it’s snowing. Have you had any issues when you do it?

[@CabinDweller]

It's now breaking, thankfully! This was last week haha. It also hit -30 after that video was filmed. I haven't had any issues, yet! The biggest problem was almost losing my way back home because I couldn't see that well!

Why don't you drive your 4x4 truck and get water while your there. A plow for the truck is what you need. Always have a bottle of whisky to come home to😉😉

The truck needs to go in for repairs. It's usually my backup ride when it's this snowy but it won't make it to town right now. But getting a tow truck out here right now is tricky. Good tip on the whiskey!
