Cumbres Region Snow 1949
| May 02, 2012 06:46AM |
Rich's posting reminded me about a weather data search I did for Cumbres snow totals back in the era when Uncle Bob was making death-defying trips to photograph winter activities there. I know these have been posted here and there before, but thought I'd add some of Bob's photos from the Cumbres winter of 123 inches total snowfall along with the weather history data.Not as cool as the snotel graphs but always amazing to me to think about trying to maintain train operations under those conditions.
