6-8” of snow overnight, we were the first people on the trails this morning. 24 deg. F, perfect weather. Daughter lives 20 minutes away, woke up to 20” of snow.

Beautiful, but better you than me. Temperature here was in the 50s with high winds this afternoon.

Beautiful set, Mark! Send some of that snow down here!
I don't have much extra to send you Mike, but I'm sure my daughter would like to send a few boxcars full for you...
Thanks for viewing and nice comment.

In days bygone days I saw open coal cars full of snow headed south out of Minneapolis to melt along the way. They had run out of places to pile it.

During the blizzard of 1888 New Haven, CT got 48 inches of snow. The city hired 3,000 men to shovel snow...in pictures it seemed that were all wearing overcoats, ties and derby hats.
They put the snow in horse drawn wagons, took it to the railroad station and loaded it on flat cars. They then took it outside city limits and dumped it along side the tracks.
The deepest snow I've experienced in my life was the 36" we got 5 or 6 years ago. A few years prior to that we had 6 feet of snow from the day after Christmas to late in January. That caused many problems especially when you wanted to pull out of a parking lot or out of a side street. The snow was piled up so high along the sides of the road that you couldn't see approaching traffic. In the spring the town raised all of the stop signs by 2 feet.

I remember that. It was the same year I had ordered a car and the railcar it was on got lost in the Chicago railyards for 2 weeks.
