Jeremy Renner was already on his ranch on December 12, when he shared a photograph of a vehicle entangled in a thick blanket of snow on his social networks.
"Snowfall is no joke at Lake Tahoe
," the actor reacted.
According to the
Reno Gazette-Journal
, Jeremy Renner's second home overlooks the lake, not far from the Mount Rosa ski resort, about 40 kilometers from Reno.
The United States has been experiencing a spectacular snowfall for several days.
Nicknamed "the blizzard of the century", the cold snap killed at least 59 people in the country.
The storm that has swept the continent since Christmas Eve has also disrupted domestic flights by grounding several hundred thousand passengers in the middle of the holiday season.
In recent years, Jeremy Renner had become particularly well known to the general public in Marvel productions, where he has played the role of superhero Hawkeye since the film
Thor
in 2010.
A series centered on his character was broadcast in the fall of 2021 on the Disney + platform.
He was also twice nominated for an Oscar, in 2010 and 2011, respectively for his role in
Minesweeper
, by Kathryn Bigelow, and
