Happy New Year 2011!
Believe it or not I started this year out waking up bright and early to get Trent’s friend, Shawn, to the train station to head back home. We ended up bringing him right back home with us because the last snow storm a few days ago in Montana has left over 70 freight trains stuck in various locations on the tracks and Burlington Northern (who owns the tracks) won’t let Amtrak past because there isn’t enough room in places. So we ended up picking up donuts and heading back home. We will try again tomorrow morning and if it is still jammed then we will look into sending him back by bus or us maybe driving back part way and meeting his parents.
The afternoon has been overly laid back. The kids have been just vegging out playing games and watching movies, and I have spent the day reading and watching the guys snow plow our block from the latest snow storm a few days ago.
This is one of their huge snow blower tractors that they use to remove the snow from the streets on base. The first image is to show the machine from the back side as it throws the snow out of the way. The other two are the pair of tractors that work together with the snow blower machine. It definitely makes a white out mess in the process of cleaning the streets.
Great capture of the flying snow. We have one of those big blows like that to blow the snow off our road. I will have to try a shot next time we use it. What a great way to start your new year of shots.
