Title: Mid-February 2015 Snow Pics
Post by: NSyorktown on February 17, 2015, 09:41:26 AM
It looked like CNO&TP-land got hit the past 24-30 hours . . . . any photographs of "God's Country" (with some NS action) covered with a little dusting?

TIA

Yes sir, we got hammered with over a foot of snow, and now below zero temps that will be around a few days....and then more snow on the way!   I know Garland,  Tyler and Gage got a couple of shots yesterday, but I think they had to walk to do it...the roads were almost impassable by dark yesterday.  Its not much better today, but getting there.

The NS is also having a lot of problems as would be expected. Frozen switches, broke rails and so on....trains are moving but not fast. 

At 0730 this morning, it was Minus 6 degrees here at JREB world HQ, with almost 17 inches of snow on the ground. I want to get out and shoot some, but we cant even get out of our driveway right in 4 wheel drive......sigh....

Snow depth at our house in Northern Mercer county at 1730 on Monday 02/16/15...and it was still coming down.

As Emmett said, I hiked off campus toward the yard in Lexington as it was still snowing... Results were fantastic
