Re: Snowfall on Cumbres

Rich; The way I figure it 600" would be 50 feet of snow. The story we got was that the unusual
terrain at Cumbres was what was responsible. I'm
like you tho, that's a LOT of snow. However, we
heard that figure a number of times on the club
trips.
Maybe it is like the number of trains that go thru our town. I have had people tell me that we have over 100 trains per day. There are actually 51 scheduled trains per day with some of those annuled occasionally. We do have a few extras
like 5 or 6 grain extras and 2 or 3 coal extras
per week. No where near enough extras to make the 100 per day figure.
