It looks like the forcasted snow storm has arrived.

It's definitely winter down there now. All of the rails are covered, it's still snowing heavily, strong winds are piling up drifts, and as much as I love visiting Chama, I'm sure glad that I don't have to drive over LaManga and Cumbres Passes tonight. Finally, some much needed moisture, and a hint of how little fun it must have been to get trains across the line in winter.
