There's a strange, almost submarine light in some of these snow scenes.

Yes, it happens alot when you have snow precipitation with little wind in mid-day light.  Another factor that adds to the atmosphere is the sound muffling aspect of heavy snow- I love how it blocks out much of the unwanted noise of traffic from nearby roads- though it makes nearby noises more apparent (i.e. footsteps, breathing).  That lash-up of kiha 47's on the deadhead was nice too.

Oh Winter! It feels like February in Eastern Canada.  Thanks for reminding me, time to book my vacation to somewhere warm 

 

Thanks for the videos, too bad there isn't one why the train make a big splash out of the snow...though that will make the commuters even more miserable.
