Snowfall

[NW Mailing List]

Yea, here is some incredible footage from Southeastern Colorado, and Western 
Kansas...

First off, 3 BIG SD's and a wedge plow make a run at a massive snow drift, 
and get spectacularly stuck in the process

Notice how the crew, cannot see where they are at, or even what's 
ahead..they rely on folks outside with radios...

I bet some of those "operations" folks are glad we don't get it like that 
often!
