Snow on the Heart's Content Barrens Highway - 2001

[gacwalker]

seriously this is a stupid way to clear that much snow.....either you say screw it or get one of those giant ass snow blowers that will blow it way off to the side. On a side note, the channel he made looked kinda cool though

[finguy70]

they plow snow like my east- or their west neighbours

[jsuds12]

holy shit I thought the loader was a little skid steer until it got closer, MAN you guys get a lot of snow!

[Mr424538]

The driver of that loader was lucky cause the walls could have collapsed on him any second

[perduq]

somewhere at this place was a road

[Videographer1234567]

sounds like a newffie

[Thegamer89ak47]

Wtf were r u at the north pol

[buddyzaza]

if we were so luckie

[mra2z]

Yup, we do snow storms in a big way in Canada. The True North, Strong and Free.

[cturk1010]

by the time they get it all moved it will be melted

[bookkrworm]

yeesh...and i thought it snowed bad where i'm at...

[YamahaATVMudder]

obscene

[Jamodeoo]

snowmobile heaven

[CatalinD88]

[BlindScoped001]

Like a boss

[boater905]

[Johndidyk1]

Im a dumbass i read the info

[Johndidyk1]

Where is this at

[Robert1966y]

Золотая дорога.

[Rando776]

LETS DIG A MILE LONG TUNNEL!! lol

[zanjost10]

ohh man I wish we had so much snow here :S

[Hunterswaistingtime]

"Alright there is another scoop, now just let me back up a couple miles and I can offload and come get another.... Sigh..."

[dispersia2]

нихера себе

[atvredneckdude]

dam that more snow then tractor!!!

[ProofEqualsFact]

We had know like this back in 2010

[tember1988]

got snow

[Blogengezer]

Salt (sodium chloride) on roadways is good for one thing. Dissolving metal...among other things. Forcing the drivers to buy new cars and trucks frequently, improves the economy. Also works well on forcing re-paving far more often. Union government infrastructure workers love it's pavement digestive effect, gives them $ overtime. :>)

[itsanameisntit]

He was almost done by June.

[turfguy87]

that would DEFNITELY be snowmobile country....

[turfguy87]

oh dear God that would take forever, I'd dig out spots to dump it instead of taking a scoop then driving way back to dump it

[IliesRockstar80]

courageous !! ^^

[Mr7475ih]

I know theres a car in here somewhere?

[Twixx415]

Sorry guys cant help clean it out :( I lost my shovel

[MrScotia]

Could they not just put a little salt down on the road?

[WowMike2002]

@MrScotia Salt is useless on anythign but lightly iced over pavement. Once temperatures keep dropping, the salt will melt a teeny bit of the ice, then re-freeze as more snow falls on top of it. This looks to be 100% snow, so salt is useless in this situation.. this looks to be ahell of a job for that front end loader. The only thing I coudl see working here are some of those huge giant snowblowers you can see all around youtube.

[MrScotia]

@WowMike2002 I was kidding about the salt lol but yes I think they would need a rather big snow blower to cut a way through that snow.

[newfieboxer77]

@MrScotia salt will not melt that much snow...put down salt just gives the snow something to stick to...i know they do it in Halifax and it makes a mess every time

[shistr]

I keep reading wrong tool for job and bantering about this and that...no offense but if that is average snow...you need to hire one of those loader to move your stuff to south

[Lamborghinilp650]

Perfect for snowmobilin

[imapieface]

No. Just no.

[taif14]

Wow

[HamiltonCityMan]

i would just give up..........

[billionarekevin11]

dddddddddddddddddddddddddaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg­gggggggggggggggggggg

[jdccpctv]

It's actually a snowmobile trap

[zatzscaared]

this is my supreme wish:X

[keyshon5298]

to all the haters on newfies HOW THE FUCK do u expect to move the fucking snow then honestly your fucking stupid!!

[MrKoreyjay]

I wanna make a snow house in the sied of that snow wall

[TheKeva2]

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!



[firstpostlol]

@TheKeva2 lmfao nah take the snowmobus to school :D

[zyrdima]

I am once again convinced that the Yankee fools!!! The car rotor is, they throw back at once!!!

[drelinio1]

omg;D

[susanhamel]

Oh my god newfies are the stupidest people in the world. That looks like a epic fail waiting to happen.

[andrewneil351]

@susanhamel ......Well, I'm a Newfie and I can tell you that "stupidest" isn't a word. Dont be so ignorant!

[harleymanpearce]

@susanhamel fuck u ya piece of shit, die a terrible death with your kids watching, douche

[explodinggomba]

@susanhamel you're a retard. BTW "stupidest" isn't a word, idiot.

[justforever96]

I've read about snow like this down in the US before, back in the day. Especially in the Rockies, but in other places too. Here in New England, we get much less snow than we did even ten years ago. Kind of sad.

[REALGz23]

@justforever96 In the Rockies lol. You can't compared a highway to the mountains. Don't worry we have more snow than that in our Rockies too.

[187hoser]

These are the snowfalls my Dad talked about getting every winter out on the Burin Peninsula. The snow packs in so hard the horses could walk across it. That guy has his work cut out for him.

[Kx2fity22]

I thought it was a snowblower trail, now i dont

[johnnyrice82]

how deep was the snow

[resinator1]

Holy shit

[cdtank1]

we have the same loader

[halo3b2]

so what does he do when he runs out of fuel?

[MBdieselFREAK]

Holyshit!!!!! at first i though it was a joke.... this is real!!!! oh my god i never seen snow that deep and i live in Canada now! what the fuck!!! woooow!

[lpparlee]

And thats why everyone in NFLD and Lab own snowmobiles. Love the Newfoundland accent at the end, Newfoundlanders are the greatest people out there.

[drmform]

holy fuck thats a lot of snow

[UnknownXV]

The dude is probably still clearing out the snow even now.

[enchaple]

@UnknownXV LMFAO I was writing the same sentence...

[taikouboutaikoubou]

They need a bigger buckets.

[flatrocker1]

@taikouboutaikoubou No. They get paid by the hour boy.

[hellyeahable]

thats a newfe snowblower



[ThisMakesMeThink]

that snow looks wet and heavy. WHAT A PAIN!

[sonnylatchstring]

Where does he get rid of the snow? Florida beach?

[Templar93100]

That is a crazy snow! Awesome vid.

[swootters]

makes me laugh, here in the uk if we get 1in of slush it makes the top story in the news!!!

[archuka1]

Where is the high speed snow blower at ??

[MountainCat1M]

@archuka1 There wasn't one available.

[thesmithde]

Wow!

How he knows where the street is?

[MountainCat1M]

@thesmithde As he clears the snow, the pavement is almost exposed and is able to absorb heat as the temperature is around freezing. The heat absorbed is just enough to melt the snow and show the pavement, so the operator can judge accordingly.

[RodneyisGodney]

@thesmithde There's these things called telephone poles...they're usually found near streets.;)

[AmericanCars101]

Dayum!!..i wonder how long it would take me to clear all of that just using a reguler snow shovel LOL!!

[stefanos273105]

where is this????

[MrWilber33]

That snow looks wet as hell..

[MountainCat1M]

@MrWilber33 Newfoundland, about 1.25 hours outside of St. John's. The snow wasn't really wet but it was April so the heat from a higher sun was melting it on the pavement.

[MrWilber33]

@MountainCat1M I see, good thing there is a Deere on the job. haha

[perpetualmotion192]

wow... how far does he have to back up?

[MountainCat1M]

@perpetualmotion192 A few hundred feet at least.

[micksgonefishin]

I'll never complain about Lake Effect snow in Cleveland Ohio again!

[trakaxxx]

great video, i been removing snow that deep or may more, where i was it was 10 or 12 feet deep, i dont know how much it was where u been working, but with that loader is so slow, i been working with a dozer and it's fast, but i was alone, so no body take the video, and i was with my 2 hands busy, but i know how it feel's working with the snow that deep

[BNforever2009]

you guys need 24 hours of plowing up there when a snowstorm like that comes. 50 heavy duty dump trucks, all are Mack Trucks and big plows and 6 big road graders fitted with plows and 4 Caterpillar crawlers and on 8 of the dump trucks, fitted with salt spreaders. Maybe 10 Ford F-450 4x4 pickup trucks fitted with salt spreaders would be helpful too. The ultimate beast would be a FWD with a turbo'd Detroit V-12 in it and a big snow blower on the front would do--like Chicago has

[MountainCat1M]

@BNforever2009  This ain't Chicago LOL The population of the nearby town would probably fill 1/4 of a Chicago apartment building.

[resinator1]

@MountainCat1M hahahaha, thats a good 1

[wootsilot]

@BNforever2009 nah you just need a nice blower but don't get caught inside during maintenance O.o

[SuperIgnatov]

@BNforever2009 многабукав

[MountainCat1M]

@matoseguterres Have I ever 'what?' in Brazil?

[moroten12345]

jump down jump down!!



[GDLutz]

I didn't think it was deep...  untill the loader drove up!!!

[MrTorturedman]

Man it was a terrible today!!! i woke up this moring and noticed that my blower wasn't there in my yard.. someone stole it =[... my snowblower was my best friend on the morings where it snowed.

[MrTorturedman]

Man it was a terrible today!!! i woke up this moring and noticed that my blower wasn't there in my yard.. someone stole it =[... my snowblower was my best friend.

[DouchieNewfie]

This is the main road going to my home town (Heart's Content) the snow plows went on strike that year. I remember driving through this when I was in college (final exams time) and it was like driving through a tunnel. To be honest, it was never wide enough for 2 cars for well over a week. This was also the path to the nearest hospital. Needless to say, the plows strike didn't last too long.

[JonSea31isBack]

@DouchieNewfie I remember that strike really well. I saw a picture in The Telegram in early April that year where a transport truck got stuck in a snowdrift just east of the Chance Cove turnoff. The plows' strike was very short-lived (and rightfully so) because there was a state of emergency declared and thus prompted back-to-work legislation with a 9 percent pay hike for the workers. The disaster made the workers believe they won the fight, but this one was an EPIC FAIL.

[leigh2010ful]

Why did they not grit the roads the night before? :-)

[johnschauder]

The snow will probably melt by the time you get to the end of the road

[mickety2001]

In the UK we've got less than 12 inches and the country has fallen apart!

[BeeRich33]

Looks like the wrong tool for that. Maybe a thrower?

[2007Kingquad700]

@BeeRich33

[MountainCat1M]

@BeeRich33

There wasn't a blower available at the time.

[BeeRich33]

@MountainCat1M What a huge pain. That seems rather confining.

[Jorgen87]

I know there is about 5 meters of snow up in the mountens in Norway (like in Valdres..) during the wintertime at the most extreme..

[DammitDrag]

God above I don't miss Iowa.

[paininthe10]

No blower and no snow bucket, makes for a long removal time.

[MountainCat1M]

@paininthe10

There wasn't a blower available at the time.

[pyroman675]

HOLY SHIT I THought that was like an RC track or something

[1961pontiac]

WHAT THE FUCK???? WHERE ????

[waybar1314]

Come to Labrador west to see snow - my driveway has more snow than you see here !

[chopkinator1]

You definitly should have a blower for this unless your made of cash and don't mind wasting time. Caterpillar though, piss on JD unless you're a farmer.

[mattlovesall]

Now thats some snow lol I love snow but wow thats a lil much even for snow lovers lol. oh yea i would have used the big snowblower much faster and easyer .

[MrJlamb10]

Why didn't they use a snowblower? Much quicker than going back and forth one bucket at a time.

[powerstrokediesel100]

you guys have a little bit of snow up there

[mifan93]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[luvmyctd]

LOL, holy crap! That is some snow ... and on April 7th no less. Unreal!

[jlaudio10w07]

w0w... Git-R-Done

[gford286]

GOT SNOW?

[DevinL16]

thats just unreal....i think the land needs to be landscaped to prevent such drifts

[fudgehappy]

u guys need a big ass snowblower for a JD bitch (JD all the way) it must have takin for ever to clear that highway

[MIoldtimer]

Now THAT`S snow. Looks like Michigan`s UP. I remember riding snowmachines on snow like that as a kid at my uncle`s in Goetsville.

[56retoocs]

123 i know what u mean

[RO1146]

OMG!!!! LOL!!! HOLY MOLY!!! That snow is DEEP!! I've never seen snow that deep before. Thank you for the AWESOME video.

[fudgehappy]

[123corndawgxyz]
