Snow again?
Author: MP4093

Woke up early Wednesday and looked out. Was it snowing again today? Yes, and of course I was back out. It was a balmy 10 degrees and there was fresh powder along the BNSF Cherokee Sub. We don't get much snow here and I wanted photos.There was still limited traffic and thanks to a some good friends I was able to stay aware of it and be in position. I managed 2 trains one each way at the switch to the Port Lead just down the street before the darned sun came out and ruined everything. By noon the powder had crusted and the rolling snowstorms ended. I took a couple more and called it quits, the show was over. The sun had changed my plans, it was all quiet at Jesticeville and local 466 came through light engines so I called it a day. Back to more boring snow photos without all the blowing powder. Enjoy.
