[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good afternoon, Jeb; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. The cam and I survived the outing, and I was happy with the results. The snow has quit, and the sun was out for a while making it feel warmer than it is. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!

[@marksteiner3810]

Thanks, Mike for the new page, and for your determination to keep on keeping on with Train No. 5!

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Mark; Thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. The move was forced on me, but the content is still of the Zephyr out here. Anyway, I am happy you found the new channel. Have a great Wednesday. Please take care and stay safe!

Thanks Mike for another great video in adverse weather conditions. We are just starting to recover from a snowstorm here in south central Ohio.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good afternoon, 5gunk; Thanks for tuning in and the comments. I appreciate it. This was a decent snowstorm to shoot video in with very light breezes and large flakes in the air. Not often do I see that here. More of the same is to hit us again on Thursday. Hope that you have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@SteveBull-tg8mi]

Mike, I appreciate your willingness to go out in a blizzard and video the Zephyr.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good afternoon, Steve; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. I have been trackside for a couple of blizzards. This snowfall didn't rate that as the winds were only about 4 mph. Sadly, the next snow is due on the wind Thursday. That may be a lot different. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!

Good day to a soggy Ft. Morgan Mike from a hot humid Sth Australia 🇦🇺

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good day, Robo; I thank you for dialing in from Australia. I appreciate it. Hope that you have a great day down there. Plese take care, stay cool and safe in that humidity!

[@NormanAllen-ps9ju]

What a winter scene this morning thanks to Mike !

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Norman; I thank you for tuning in along with the comments. Yep. Winter has finally come to the eastern plains of Colorado. More of the powder snow but I'll take any and all. Have a great Tuesday. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@MarcusFlores-o3f]

Hello Mike keep up the good work video tape train coming in stay warm from the snow mark from dixon new Mexico US

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Mark; I thank you for dialing in along with the comments. It is all still fun. Have a great Wednesday down in Dixon. Please take care and stay safe!

[@marksmith4582]

Good Tuesday morning Mike! Sunny and 12 degrees this morning at 10:10 AM. You can keep the snow haha! It won’t warm up much more though. I’m grateful for the sunshine! Good to see number 5 made it into Fort Morgan in spite of the snow there. I heard you say it gets deeper further west. Regardless have a great Tuesday out your way Sir! I am here! Mark in Iowa.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Mark; Thanks for stopping by and the comments. It is now 22F. and the sun just appeared thru a hole in the clouds. This snow and that falling west of here in the Denver metro area is a very dry and powdery snow. It is the type the skiers all hope for in the high country. The Denver area should total about 5 to 7 inches while we have to tolerate only a couple of inches. Oh well. Get a breather tomorrow and then supposed to have more snow on Thursday. Winter has arrived on the eastern plains of Colorado. LOL! Didn't have this last year. Have a great Tuesday back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@kenclifford5556]

Hi Mike thanks for the catch of #5 today. sounds like ice pellets falling there. glad you made it home safe.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good afternoon, Ken; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. That was a combination of wind and snow hitting the plastic wrap I had over the camera for protection. Sorry about that. The snow was almost straight down on its own and there was very little wind at that time. I shoveled the walks once and ill take the blower to remove the flakes in a few. Sadly, it it still snowing. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@kennywiesemann4959]

Good Morning Mike thank for the video this morning time for you to get in the warm house, God Bless you Mike

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Kenny; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. Still waiting for the snow to stop. Have scooped the walks once and need to do again. Anyway, have a great Tuesday back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@danboyd8686]

Good morning Mike. #5 coming through the snow makes a pretty picture. Another two car stop, two thumps up to Mandy. Watching some of the passengers detrain makes me a bit anxious, but haven’t seen anyone fall yet. I guess the winter snow is starting to come now. Thanks and stay warm and well.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Dan; I thank you for tuning in as well as the comments. I do enjoy shooting video on the snow and also in fog. There is something about trains in those two weather conditions. I have stood on those steps with snow on the soles of the bots the steps may look slippery, but the holes have a slight edge that grips the shoes. That design has m=been a standard for a really long time. Speaking of snow, I have to get out and remove some from the walks. Have a great Tuesday back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@benedmonson3445]

Good morning Mike from 29 mid Tenn. High for day & down to 12 tonight. Preparing us for 3-5 inches snow Friday they say. Lots of good activity today at FM. Winter is here to stay it appears. But spring gets closer day by day!

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good afternoon, Ben; Thanks for dropping by along with the comments. We ended with about 2 inches of fluff here. The temp has stayed around 24 most of the day. We may see more snow in the air on Thursday. Hope you have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@geraldjones8032]

Good morning Mike: What a lovely video with the snow coming down. Just like a Christmas card. Thanks for sharing. Go home and get that coffee and warm up. Have a safe day. Might add 24 degrees in Albuquerque this morning, maybe snow later. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Gerald; I thank you for tuning in along with the comments. It was a pretty snowfall this morning. The noise was from the breeze and a few snowflakes hitting the plastic wrap I had over the camera. Gott work on that. LOL! The sun is peeking thru the clouds, and I need to clear the sidewalks again. Thet temp. sounds a bit BURRRRRRY for there. Plese take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@richardnewman5981]

Good morning Mike. 65 degrees in Napa Valley today. Be safe!

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Richard; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. Give me a few more days and I might have to ride out there to take in some of those temperatures. LOL Have a great Tuesday out there. Please take care and stay safe!

[@davidduffy308]

Good morning Mike. Wahoo, we have about 2 in on the ground. About time.😂 Just started again. Very good. Nice morning on the platform, always happy to see people coming and going. Have a great day out there in FMG.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, David; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. I was happy to see you were getting some of this over there. No moisture in it out here. Should make a great cloud when I hit it with the blower in a few. The feral cats will go crazy! LOL! Have a great Tuesday over there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@jamesburnside3023]

Great work in those trying conditions well done Mike. Stay safe out there.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, James; Thank you for dialing in and the comments. The real work i about to begin as I start snow removal from the walks. LOL! At least this is more of the powder snow the skiers seem to enjoy. Have a great Tuesday up there. Plese take care, stay warm and safe!

[@warrenlind2005]

Great video with the snow coming down. Take care of yourself and stay warm. Double hot coffee for you!

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Warren; I thank you for tuning in along with the comments. I appreciate it. This is one of the two weather events I enjoy shooting video of trains in. The other is a train emerging from fog and then disappearing back into the fog. Have a great afternoon and evening. Plese take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@roberthansen2008]

Wow look at all that snow coming down out there!

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Robert; I thank you for dialing in as well as the comments. It has amounted to about 2 inches of the powder snow the skiers seem to like. Very little moisture content. Makes for easy shoveling. Have a great Tuesday back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@greatnorthern930]

Ah' everyone loves a nice snowfall, have a good one Mike.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning and thanks for dropping by as well as the comments. This was one of the two weather events I like to video. The other is the train emerging from fog. Hope that you have a great Tuesday. Plese take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@user-hw1cr5uq4z]

Hi Mike! The w/b #5 was running over 5 hours late yesterday when it was supposed to arrive in Denver.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

The Zephyr arrival time in Denver is listed at 0756 MST. Most days, they are there a bit earlier. At my last check, that Zephyr is running about 5 hours late still. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!

[@jamesmoninger1982]

The snow is beautiful; like a Currier and Ives Christmas card. Thanks for posting, Mike. Drive safe!

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, James; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. This snowfall was on the scenic side this morning. Snowfall and fog are the two weather events I like to shoot video in. Have a great Tuesday. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@suzatlarge]

Good snowy Tuesday, Mike. Thanks for the video. We're getting real snow over here this morning - just in time for rush hour traffic shenanigans. Snowfall is spozed to stop by mid morning. I have an appointment in the late morning and expect the drive won't be a challenge. Take care!

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, suz; Thank you for dialing in and the comments. It is riding the breeze from the northeast and that's an upslope so you should get a lot more than we have gotten here. So far, around 2 inches of fluff again. I thought the sun was breaking thru the cloud deck but that went away. Have blower will move the fluff. Have a great afternoon and evening up there. Please take care, watch the other drivers that have not driven in snow for a while or ever, stay warm, and safe!

[@BBQRando]

Beautiful 😍 ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, BBQRando; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. I appreciate it. Have a great Tuesday. Please take care and stay safe!

[@jimueberroth3144]

Good Morning, Mike. Your opening video sequence reminded me of the movie "It's a Wonderful Life." Keept waiting for Jimmy Stewart to jump out on the platform! Take care of yourself while on the roads. Stay safe & keep warm. As "they" say - this too shall pass.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good afternoon, Jim; I thank you for dropping by and the comments. I had not thought about that movie. It does have a sequence of snow on the platform. I would have liked to silence the plastic wrap I had over the camera for protection. Still working on that. Those that have not driven in this stuff have fled the roads because of the 4-wheelers that think they can stop as fast as they can go. LOL!!!! That leaves the rest of us artfully dodging the idiots while keeping both hands on the wheel, foot out of the go pedal and softly on the brakes. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@joesamson1337]

Morning train going to Denver. Camera view caught me off gaurd.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Yep. You are correct. If they were closer to sunrise, it would be apparent. Take care and stay safe!

[@joesamson1337]

Train is moving east.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Nope. Odd number trains are moving west.

[@DamienLonestartrainfannandmore]

Good morning Mike jensen My Name is Damien I heard the snow was on the platform and if you see mandy Tell Mandy Damien Says Hi

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Hi Damien; Thank you for dropping by and the comments. I didn't get the message to Mandy today. She was busy. But I will. Take care and stay safe down there!

[@russelledgington6540]

Brrrrrr

[@Mikeinmorgan]

It is to be below zero tomorrow morning at train time. I may have to double up on the coffee and the heat packs. Take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@roberthansen2008]

Yeah good morning Mike are you guys having an ice storm or a really big sleet storm out there this morning? Well it's that time of year. Stay warm out there. Good to see your video today.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

That sound was from the plastic wrap I had draped over the camera as protection this morning. No sleet involved as it is too cold for that out here. Just wind and a few flakes of snow.
