AI6YR Ben@easwatch Snow is coming down hard in Flagstaff. I wonder if the Amtrak Southwest Chief is running... that sucker is cold in summer, nearly froze to death on there... I imagine they must have heaters in winter. #snow #flagstaff #AZwx https://www.flagstaffarizona.org/virtual-railfan-flagstaff/
@easwatch Southwest Chief current 13mi E. of Gallup, AZ. 87mph heading west into the snow. Current expected to hit Flagstaff, AZ at 50 minutes past midnight (assuming they don't also see a delay from the snow) -- 3 hours 18 minutes late. #Amtrak #SouthwestChief #snow #Flagstaff #AZwx #railfan https://railrat.net/routes/SouthwestChief/

Inoru@ai6yr that'd be the elevation, lol. Especially at night. You start getting over 6,500-7,000ft and even in summer the nights are comparatively cold even in a desert. Maybe especially so, because the scrub and all won't hold heat in like more arboreal heights would, and cloud cover is rare and should be eyed with a healthy wariness.
@inoru_no_hoshi LOL no kidding. I got to uncontrollable shivering before the grandmother with a blanket saved my butt.
@ai6yr blessed be the perpetually cold people who travel with blankets at all times! 😆
