Ok, this is just not fair. I live in Northern Minnesota and we have had maybe two inches of snow all year. This is amazing snowfall, congrats on a great catch.

Amazing series of photos Pete. One of the best "plowing" shots I've ever seen.

Posted by Chris Lastovich on February 16, 2007

Very cool...

Posted by Torsten Kleinert on February 16, 2007

Whoa! Hot stuff! I like the snow piled on the engine's roof and "nose"! It's so high that it obscures one headlight and some front windows. The engineer seems to have some poor visibility -- but still some fun... Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany (no snow at all) Torsten

First time I saw this photo, my jaw dropped open and I said "oh my god" =O This is a fantastic photo! Just look at the snow that gathered on the top of that locomotive. It appears that this train has gone through more than its share of snow drifts. PCA!

Pete! Awesome! Be careful back there so that you do not accidently find yourself standing on snow-covered tracks!

Posted by paramino on March 1, 2007

I like the little "iceberg" on top of the loco

Posted by Jim Thias on March 2, 2007

I never grow tired of seeing snow-blasting shots, and this one ranks right near the top. Nice catch, Pete.
