Great photos weather reports say a real load coming to the east. On the west coast of Canada the flowers are coming up so will have to ship my plow set back east to help out!!

Think I have enough power in this setup! and plows on both ends;

Matters are well in hand on the Far North Line in Scotland.

The photos posted so far are just beautiful snow shots. It does get you in the mood as it started snowing here this morning very early and before it is done, we expect a couple of feet of new snow.

Actually plowing snow on a backyard G-gauge railroad, that's impressive! It would be interesting to know more about that operation. Are they running on track power or batteries? Maybe the snowplow includes a squeegee to wipe the rails dry? I would be concerned about getting moisture in all the locomotives from the snow. Blow it all off with compressed air and maybe shoot some WD-40 into the works after the plowing.

Well, I suppose "snow train" does have different meanings. For my layout I took the direction from what i saw on an old travel poster

Here's a nice video of the Alaska White Pass Yukon RR running their rotary.

Here's one a couple of years ago in Central Nebraska.

Sorry for the link of WP & YR steam rotary plow and engine.

Here's some stills I captured from the video.

I like everyone's "snow trains".

Heres a good one that was posted over on the real trains forum a couple of weeks ago.

Heres another one, probably more in line with what Boston will be experiencing
