Insane blizzard slams California - Strands hundreds on Donner Pass Atmospheric River D2 - 4k

One of the most intense #blizzards I have been in anywhere in the country slammed #California for multiple days. Interstate 80 was turned into a parking lot stranding hundreds with intense winds with heavy blowing snow. Semi trucks littered the road as CHP and CalTrans tried to get everyone unstuck on Donner Pass. Earlier in the day white out conditions and heavy #snow caused motorists to get stuck all over the pass. We pulled out many vehicles vehicles. Plows worked overtime trying to keep up as feet of snow fell. Winds were well over 100mph on the pass at times. This #atmosphericriver was by far the most intense of #2024 creating incredible #video Thanks to @JonathanPetramala for helping shoot all of this amazing content.
