Good things come to those who wait. Cottage country this last week received a walloping of lake effect snow, with several locations breaking 100CM + of accumulation. Gravenhurst would receive the most with the township reporting 140CM. For us in the GTA only receiving a measly 5cm last night, the chance of a plow running along the Newmarket was fairly high. Thanks to a few friends giving me tips, CN 901 was supposed to run to Huntsville to fetch the Jordan Spreader. Leaving incredibly early to be in Washago for 901's departure, all hands were on deck to plow Highway 11, the plow drivers all things considered did a phenomenal job, even the side roads were fairly well maintained. I surely thought I would get ditched somewhere but, I was happily mistaken.

My luck, the sun broke through, clouds receded giving way to spectacular conditions, even if it was for just a SD75I and a Dash 9, it made for a spectacular chase.
