A “dynamic winter storm” was forecast in the region on the evening of March 27.Sielsch has been documenting the life of the bear and her cubs over a number of recent Instagram posts, and regularly shares footage of South Lake Tahoe’s bear population.

Thai authorities used helicopters Thursday to try to contain a fire that overnight engulfed two mountains on largely undeveloped forest land in a province northeast of the capital Bangkok. The fire broke out Wednesday night in Nakhon Nayok province, 114 kilometers (70 miles) northeast of Bangkok, but firefighters could not directly tackle it because the mountains are too steep to safely climb, especially in the darkness of night, provincial Governor Bancha Chaowarin told reporters. At least 10 firefighting vehicles were dispatched to battle the blaze, and they were joined Thursday afternoon by at least two helicopters, which surveyed the situation and dumped water.

A huge block of snow was removed from the roof of a Truckee, California, home as the Sierra Nevada mountains’ second-snowiest winter on record continued in late March.Colby Wangler recorded this video and posted it to Instagram. Wangler told Storyful his friends Brian Biega and Jimmy Haden are seen in the footage, with Biega sawing as Haden secures him from behind. Wangler said the homeowners are friends of theirs who asked them to remove the large chunk of snow.“It has been snowing in the Sierra Nevada mountains and Truckee for months now, and we are looking at the second-biggest winter on record,” Wangler said. “The house, like thousands more in the area, was experiencing severe cracking in the drywall and many other structural components. This cornice was barely attached and was a huge safety concern.”He said Biega was using an old timber saw retrofit with a shovel handle on one end to saw the cornice, and explained that he and his friends are rock and ice climbers so they “had the skills to do it safely.”The footage shows the slab of packed snow fall and crumble to the ground with a satisfying crack and thud. The UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab has recorded more than 59.4 feet of snow as of March 29, and are expecting more to come. Credit: Colby Wangler via Storyful
