Winter photo thread

I was waiting for Ken to start this thread since he is a big fan of winter.

Start with Christmas and December. Not much snow or much of a winter.

No snow until yesterday … It came with rain then single digits …, So all I have is one from New Years Day … (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

Plowing on the SC&M, see if this photo from google photos is visible to others…

OK here are a few more since at least Joe can see the photo :wink:

Plowing done with a used-new-to-me USAT SD 30 which is a beast!

Jerry

Jerry,

Now your photo links are no good. What happened?

Nice photos. Snow is beautiful … as long as its in somebody else’s yard (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)

OK Joe I did not do anything to change the visibility of my photos in Google Photos (on the web). So I am speculating, your ability to see the photos may be contingent on being logged into Google? That is the only variable I can think of that may effect seeing the photo.

Very frustrating to try to determine why some can see my photos and some cannot.

Jerry

I posted this from my Google Photo acct. I still can not see Jerry’s pictures, but I sure as heck saw them yesterday!

Just for fun (?) here is another photo via Google Photos link. It shows the consist just before plowing started. I had also used an S-4 helper, but found it was not needed. The coupler disconnected, and the SD 30 with plow outran the S-4!

The Candlewood Valley Scenic Railway has annulled all trains until early spring thaw. It’s just too dang cold out there and I feel it now more than ever. This is what part of the railroad looked like late Sunday…

Above also hosted on Google Photos. Not sure if it can bee seen by others. i can move it to my web space if it doesn’t show.

Same here.

In the mean time, We’ll let that young whippersnapper in North Jersey freeze his buns off playing in the snow. I’ll enjoy the videos down by the woodstove…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Jerry, it’s really strange. I can’t see the photos right now (11:48am) but a few minutes ago I opened your email with the “shared” photo and Google told me I was logged in as XXX and I saw the photo. So am I not logged in any more?

Edit: I definitely logged in with the same account as when I saw your email photo - but still nothing is showing, despite a refresh.

I’d suggest doing an Alt-PrtSc on the photo, which gets the image into the clipboard, then paste it it somewhere that you can attach it.

This is what passes for winter in Florida. First the Maestro on the Calusa Creek RR in Fort Myers.

Then my new K4 in the station at the Riverbend & Southern Florida RR, near LaBelle.
