The size of the snow banks in Tahoe !

The snow in Soda Springs is up to the level of the power lines. The lines literally run through the snow. Just incredible.

Check out the SNOW near Lake Tahoe! This was a picture sent to us by Hailee, who's dad lives here in the Ozarks. WOW.
7.This is the view out of someone's SECOND FLOOR window.
We got a bit of snow here in Tahoe City the last two days. 👍 The view from the second floor kitchen window. Seems we picked up >4 ft. Wind makes it hard to be accurate. @TahoeWeather
8.It's scary.
@gurlonabike @TahoeWeather Thank you. Due to the high risk of avalanches at my house, I’m now at a hotel :) House looked like this when I left:
9.That's someone's roof!
Maybe I will shovel the roof…
10.In some places, people are snowblowing their roofs.
Meanwhile, while we’re getting tornado warnings out in the Midwest, at home in CA (South Lake Tahoe) my parents are resorting to big measures by shoveling snow into the snowblower… which is sitting on our roof!! 🤯 #cawx
11.And in others, people are literally skiing off of it.
#CaWx too much snow for the resorts. too much snow to hike. only thing accessible is the cabin roof. @kcraFinan @Weather_West @TahoeWeather
12.Snowblowers can't even blow the snow over the snow banks because it's so high.
Have to share this pic of a friends house in South Lake Tahoe from today. Look at the roof!!!! And the mound of snow to the right of the driveway is so big their snow blower isn't able to toss it any higher.This has been an epic winter, and its not over yet!
13.People can't see out of their windows.
This is from our Nest camera in Tahoe. Look at the amount of snow on the deck. At least 8 ft and counting! Apparently the snow pack is at twice the normal levels which should fill up the lake nicely once the snow starts melting.
14.In fact, it broke this person's kitchen windows.
How it started. How it’s going. #Tahoe #LakeTahoe #Truckee #CaliforniaSnow #Blizzard #snowstorm
