I've sat and watched a lot of trains go by in my day, but none so dramatic as this.

A tribute to man's dominance over the forces of nature. Enjoy.

Says you, I had set a penny on that track before the train came, and I still haven’t found it.

No idea, but I only saw one. Seems they would have had a couple more on the back end to push.

That was fun. I wonder if I can get one of those to destroy the berm of packed snow that the plow truck leaves in front of my driveway?

We’ve been lucky so far, very little snow this year, so I’m counting my blessings.

It's only in the low 30s here in North Texas, and I'm freezing my tookis off.

just a little scary.

I wondered what was going through the engineer's mind as he plowed through all that snow. I don't know if I would have drawn a single breath while I drove through that.

We've been really lucky. Not a single flake this year (so far). Due to that, business has been exceptional for us over the last month. Best January we've had in ten years.

I went out and bought a 4x4 this year specifically for dealing with the snow. That’s why it hasn’t snowed here this year. When it looks like it might be a bad winter again, I’ll buy a snow blower, and the same thing will happen again.

Same phenomenon I used to use to make it rain in SoCal. Just wash and wax my car, and sure enough, I'd find some water somewhere to spoil the job.
