California's Gold with Huell Howser
Snow and Ice
Season 8
Episode 812
Huell meets up with historian Tom Macaulay, who takes him to a frozen lake in the Sierra to demonstrate how ice was harvested years ago. Then Huell jumps aboard a train for a ride from Sacramento to Reno, Nevada — a journey through some of the toughest and most scenic terrain in our state. There is so much snow during winter months that, years ago, the railroads had to construct "snow sheds."
