Good afternoon, Jeb; I thank you for stopping by along with the comments. It was kinda balmy here. We are supposed to get more snow tonight and into tomorrow. Bring it on! Shouldn't be more than an inch or so. It is about time we start catching up to the mountains. I really hope that we don't, but more coverage will be nice. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Damien; I thank you for dialing in and the comments. Yep. Once they cleared the McCook Sub, they were able to get back to road speed. I don't think they will lose more time getting across the west to Emeryville. I will pass your greeting on to Mandy if I see her. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, Sarah; Thank you for dropping by and the comments. It has been chilly here but what sun we have really felt good this morning. More snow tonight. Speaking of that, Are you ready for the drastic drop in the temps down there? Ouch! Time to find the extra hoodies. Hope that you have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, John; Thank you for looking in and the comment. I appreciate it. Please take care and stay safe!

Thank you, Sarah. I hope that your New Year is a great one.

Good afternoon, Dan; I thank you for dialing in along with the comments. The chat is always a good thing. WE are supposed to get more powder snow tonight and into tomorrow. Bring it on! We will take all we can get. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Ben; I thank you for dialing in and the comments. We just hit 29 F. with more sunshine. Snow to happen tonight again. Bring it on. O was awake at my usual tome of 0330 and checking where the train was. It wasn't moving and waiting for the BNSF crew to repair the rail(s). Then came coffee time. Maybe a siesta coming up. I had given thought of yanking the covers back up but once I am awake, that's it. Time to get moving. Some people. LOL!! Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good day, Robo; Thank you for stopping by and the comments from Australia. I appreciate it. I am coffeed out for today. May have to have a siesta to take the edge off. Have a great one there. Please take care, stay cool, and safe!

Good afternoon and thanks for stopping by as well as the comments. I do understand about the bitter cold. My Sony cams didn't like the really cold either. The viewfinders would start acting up or freeze up. This Canon doesn't seem to have that issue yet. I'll be interested to see your progress with the cardboard train. Sounds unique. Anyway, take care, stay warm, and safe!

I will Mike! For a high today it is 17 degrees here. This morning it was like 0 degrees which why I decided to skip Amtrak today.

Good afternoon, Gerald; Thank you for tuning in and the comments. It's always something on the platform. I hope that you get to feeling better soon. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Mark; Thank you for stopping by and the comments. Yep. Frozen rolling stock, piping et al. Broken rails. The chill has messed it all up. With the sun shining here, it is really nice outside right now. The weather guessers ate spouting more snow tonight. Bring it on! This powdery stuff is going away fast. The sublimation has taken its toll on the coating. Hope that you have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, David; Thank you for stopping by and the comments. There was a lot of haze but little fog. some from the thaw of the snow on the streets. It was nice to stand in the warmth of the sun. Sounds like more snow here tonight. I'll take it! Should be another inch or so. Hope that you have a great afternoon and evening over there. Please take care and stay safe!

Good evening, Paul; Thank you for dialing in and the comments. It indeed was different. That long stretch west from Hastings and Holdrege was a lot slower than usual. Tey finally made an area where the slow orders were negated and hit it a lick to get here before they ran up against the clock. Have a great evening over there. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, NC_YT_123: I did see your wave! Thanks! I figured it was a viewer but didn't put a name with the wave. Oh well. AMTRAK didn't get explicit with the delay at Chicago, but I thought there may have been issues with the rolling stock. The rail break west of Holdrege was unusual but with the frigid temps back that direction not unheard of. Hope that the rest of your trip is uneventful. Please take care and stay safe! Enjoy the ride!

Good morning and thank you for looking in. I appreciate it. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning and thank you for stopping by. I appreciate it Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning and thanks for dialing in along with the comment. I appreciate it. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning and I thank you for dropping by along with the comments. That ride on #6 beat driving I-70. Hope that you enjoyed the Bronco/Chiefs game. I have not stepped into that stadium. Maybe next year. #5 was right at 2 hours late out of Chicago yesterday. I am watching their run into McCook on the tracker maps now. That should provide some excellent viewing on your return trip. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good evening, PCBill0622; I thank you for dialing in and the comments. I worked in this type of weather for too many years. It really doesn't bother me as long as I am dressed for it. I have found that my fingers react more and more to the cold but the heat packs in the mittens help. The local company with the contract to clear the platform and the parking area was working to clear as they could. That clear area along the edge of the platform was from an east bound manifest the blew thru here at road speed. I am sure the platform has been cleared for the #6 tonight and the #5 in the morning. They use a blade on an ATV to clear the platform but can't do it while there is rail traffic coming thru. Anyway, have a great evening and a super Monday. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good evening, Ken; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. I would think the safety and welfare checks are many back there. Hate to hear about the bug going around. It has been a so-so day. I tweaked my hip somehow here at home and now have a big goose egg right over the hip joint. It's not sore until I turn just so. I'll get by. Please take care, stay warm, and safe back there!

Good evening, Papa Geoff; Thanks for tuning in and the comments. I am glad you are able to pick out some stuff with the headset. Nice! I have to get into the Best But sound shop to fins a directional mic and mount for this camera body. I hear the horn music as they approach but it seems the camera mics don't hear it. Same with the outbound horn toots. Oh well. We did get a smattering of snow in early November that melted without accumulating anywhere. This was the first to amount to anything, yet the moisture content is very low. Typical of the snow here this time of year and on into March. We may get mot tomorrow evening and into Tuesday. Sadly, way too many have forgotten how to drive in snow or have never had to navigate thru the snow before. I hope the pipes don't pop with the low temps down there. If they are deep enough, they should not get hurt. Good idea to being the pets inside though. It is 1838 MST, and the temp has risen to 17 F. may get a thaw of this stuff yet. LOL! Glad to read you are on an even keel with the health. I tweaked my right hip muscles somehow this morning here at the house. A big old goose egg right over the hip joint. Not sore now but that could change tomorrow. Anyway, I hope that you and yours take care, stay warm and safe down there.!

Good day, Robo; I thank you for tuning in and the comments from Australia. It didn't take too long before I was home and warming the fingertips. I have spent too many early mornings working in weather like this. If one dresses for it, the weather is tolerable. Kinda. LOL! Habe a great day! Please take care, stay cool and safe in Adelaide!

Good evening, James; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. I don't put the snow on you. We really needed this coverage. Would like to get more! Now for the frigid temperatures... I think we all have gotten a shot of those. Have a great Evening and a super Monday. Please take care, stay WARM, and safe!

Good evening, greatnorthern930; Thanks for dialing in along with the comments. Nah. I have not played in snow for well over a year. Tomorrow may be a different story though. LOL! Have a great evening and a super Monday. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good evening, Thomas; Thanks for dropping by along with the comments. There is so little moisture in this snow. But any moisture out here is looked upon with a smile. We may see more of this power snow tomorrow evening and into Tuesday. Bring it on! I do hope that you get moisture out there in that liquid form. These weather patterns are strange. Anyway, have a great evening and a super Monday. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, Ginny; Thank you for stopping by and the comments. Our snow quit several hours back. The temperature is doing a wonderful impression of a yo-yo from 14 F to 17 F and back. The predicted high for tomorrow is 15 F. I seem to have pulled muscles across my right hip. Over did something this morning here at the house. I think I may have to follow Raffy's led and fold up on the couch for the rest of the day. Anyway, I hope that you have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Brandon; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. That is really awesome starting a new career with BNSF! I am envious. Good luck with the training. You'll do well. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, Mark; I thank you for dropping by and the comments. You are still warmer than the 12 F. here. We are to go below zero F. overnight. The snow stopped about 1.5 hours ago and the sky cleared. I had to use my welding hood to see in the snow out there. LOL! Thought it was rather telling that the KC Chiefs airplane was stuck at KC due to icing on the runways. The question is why did they delay departing KC for Denver?? HMMMMMM.... Oh well. I am not a fan of either team and really don't care. I have not heard or seen any data on I-70 across eastern Colo and Kansas. I am sure it is closed somewhere back there. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Ken; I thank you for dialing in and the comments. I'd have accepted that coffee! As it was, the drive-thru coffee house I frequent had my coffee waiting for me. Have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Jay; I thank you for tuning in and the comments. AMTRAK now owns the depot and the surrounding area. They have a contract with a cleaning company and a grounds care team the clear the parking and will clear the platform. They have an ATV with a blade and a rotary broom attachment. Have not had occasions to use them for more than a year. Same with my snow-thrower. It was fun to crank it up and clear the sidewalks. The city has nothing to do with the station here. BNSF did won it but ownership was transferred to AMTRAK about 2 years ago. Anyway, they do get it cleared. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!

I looked up 3 &4 -both canceled at original today

Yep. They don't have any more at Murdock's. They do work quite well in the mittens.

Good afternoon, Jim; I thank you for dialing in along with the comments. The grounds keeper was plowing the parking and had nor touched the platform. That was cleared by an east bound manifest at road speed thru here. Thought I was gonna have to dig out the pickup after he cleared the area. I am sure the platform will be cleared as will the ramps into the building. We will see in the morning. Anyway, please take care, stay warm, and safe back there.

Good afternoon, Dan; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. We have about 5 inches in the lawn at the house. This is that very dry powdery snow with very little moisture content. maybe 0.01 inch of real moisture if that much. I won't complain though. It is moisture. That was a very smart move on the conductors' part for the 2-stop passenger work. I'd prefer that type anytime out here. With a killer heater in the pickup cab, I wasn't exposed that long. the heater packs in the mittens helped a bunch today. So did the piping hot coffee afterwards. Have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Norman; Thanks for tuning in and the comments. The Zephyr has made it thru worse weather events and at least the heat stayed working in the cars of the train. If the wind had been howling and whipping everything into a blizzard, the cab of the pickup would have been as far as I would have ventured. Less than 3 mph this morning. I can deal with that. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good morning, Gerald; Thanks for dialing in along with the comments. There was about 5 inches on my lawn this morning. Snow just ended about an hour ago. I was happy to have brought the snow removal gear home from the summer shed. The snow-thrower moved it very rapidly and the wide blade push scoop got the areas the thrower won't get to. It is a Troy-built I purchased several years ago, and this was the first use on more than a year. That clear area along the platform was created by an east bound manifest "Q"-train that blew thru at road speed. The snow removal team was on site as I videoed. I hope that you get to feeling better pretty soon. Enough antibiotics will help as will a lot of good old chicken noodle soup (I hate that stuff, but it works for me). Please take care, stay warm, and safe down there!

Hi Mike. I have bright sunshine and 40 degrees outside. No snow in sight.

Good morning, suz; I thank you for dropping by and the comments. I envied you but the sun is shining here, and the coffee is very warming after moving the snow from the sidewalks at al. It is to go even chillier tonight. One would think this is Colorado! LOL! I am excited to have a recordable snow event finally out here. Very little moisture in the snow but any is better than none. Hope that you have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

God morning, Chris; I thank you for looking in and the comments. The had some time to kill this morning but they almost all are friendly. The snow has stopped, and the sky has cleared making for lower temperatures. There is not much moisture in this snow. I'll take another 5 to 6 inches of it to make .05 inch in the gauge. Right now, any moisture is good. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Kenny; I thank you for tuning in and the comments. We were on the back side of the arctic mass. Maybe more snow tomorrow. I say: "bring it on!". LOL! Have a great Sunday afternoon and evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe back there!

Good afternoon, Ben; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. Nice to read you are feeling better. That stuff isn't fun or easy to sluff off. It is 15 F at 1205 MST. and it is headed down to subzero overnight. Should be really chilly in the morning. Anyway, hope that the meds and the hot coffee continue to help. Maybe a bowl of Chicken noodle soup as well. (I can't stand that stuff!) LOL! Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good morning, David; OI thank you for dropping by and the comments. I got to use the snow-thrower today! Whee!!! I have waited well over a year to crank that toy up and move some snow. My fingers even stayed almost warm. LOL! Maybe another shot tomorrow. Radar kept showing the snow band from Greeley southeast thru Wiggins. The cam at Wiggins showed snow there and nothing here until after 1900 last night. I was surprised to see the 5 inches or so on the lawn here. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening over there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!
