Can't be certain but it looks like it's actually snowing in Chama this morning. It also appears that 9 coaches are set up for today's 216, but with only 484 out, we shall wait and see what happens. OK, looks more like rain to me.

One of the very few advantages of a wet day is that it in turn produces some fantastic smoke displays!

Looks like they are using the smaller backhoe today.

Cams are back and it's snowing [and sticking] in Chama.

Oh yeah, it's really coming down! I didn't expect it to be this heavy! Wonder what will happen with 216?

It seems as if 216 has been cancelled due to the snow. 484 is running back to shed now.

Some shots of 484 moving back to shed. It's a shame about 216 but it has been far too long since we've seen steam in the snow!

DOT cams show conditions far worse at Cumbres than Chama.

A bit of switching has taken place, with one engine moving inside the house and 487 is at the pit.

At least one young soul is brave enough to withstand the elements.
