Lake Tahoe Snow Storm 2009

I had to go to Lake Tahoe for a job interview. I saw a snowstorm was coming on the radar so I ended up booking a hotel room for 1 night ahead of the storm. The storm ended up being so intense that I got stuck in Tahoe for almost 4 days. These are digital pictures I took of the event.

Well if you wanna talk numbers, South Lake Tahoe gets around 214" of snow/year. Truckee around 200" and Donner Pass/Soda Springs? 411" of snow on Average, which is pretty good for ol' sunny California. For a little comparison Upstate New Yorks record for most snow in a year according to NOAA was 379.5". That would have been a below average year for Donner Pass lol

@phillyslasher Yeah its crazy how much snow can fall in the Donner Pass and Lake Tahoe area.

@sk8terhumes12345 I was interviewing for Blue Go Bus but it did not work out so I am working at a department store in Carson City, Nevada.

Carson City is a awesome place to live. Where did you move from? I have a friend who lives in the Gardnerville area and works at Harvey's Resort. He's been there for many years and drives up to the Lake every day.

@tenntod I used to live in Aptos, California not to far from Santa Cruz for almost 20 years from 1985 till 2004 and then I moved from Aptos to Minden, Nevada in year 2004.

Hi Coast, You're so right Tahoe is really a cool place. I'm sure it's much different today than it was when I lived there from 1973 - 1979. I worked at Harvey's Resort as a cook for a while, then worked for Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. Then I was a cable tech at Tahoe TV Cable. I loved that job! Thanks for sharing the videos it brought back wonderful memories for me.

I feel the same as guero31030, I lived at the South Shore during the 70's when we really got a lot of snow! I miss living there too. "You can take the man out of the mountains, but you can't take the mountains out of the man!"
