Rochelle web cam in snow

[eolafan]

Well, here I sit in my hotel after being stranded in Cincinnati for another night due to O'Hare being closed due to the current snow storm. I just clicked on the Rochelle web cam (it is 5:25 a.m. CST) and normally at this time you can't see much on the web cam but this morning the little available light at the diamonds is reflected and magnified by the snow falling and you can see things relatively well today. It looks like the passing/main track on the BNSF is snow covered and the UP tracks look fairly heavily covered by snow. I am waiting to see a train pass the diamonds to see if they plow any snow. Unusual? Possibly but seems kind of cool (pardon the pun) to me.

I used to watch the web cam alot when I worked 2nd shift. It is neat, because it connects you to the outside. It is funny though, the garage that is showing on the webcam, I could see that guy come home from work at night. I don't know if I could get used to having people watch me come home, yikes!!!

Just had the Rochelle web cam up for a few.
Looks like 2-3 guys out there checking,or clearing the frogs.
Haven't seen a train yet.
