Snow on Winter St
Winter St in Houston's First Ward was not named to honor southeast Texas's mild winters, though that would have been fitting. Instead its name lines up with parallel Summer St and Spring St (there is no Autumn St though).
But on this cold January day, Winter St finally gets to live up to its name. A rare Houston snowstorm dumped 4 inches of snow on the Bayou City this morning, and some afternoon sunshine made for a gorgeous winter day.
Here, BNSF 5849 soaks up sunshine and snowfall as it rolls westward on the Freight Main of UP's Houston Sub, which just happens to run right down the middle of Winter St.
