Lack of Snow on Donner Pass  Contributor's Pick!       
UP 5287 leads a WB manifest out of Tunnel #41 (the "Big Hole") near Donner Summit on the Roseville Subdivision. Surprising is the lack of snow (save the man-made stuff on the "Sugar Bowl" slopes above the tunnel), as Donner Pass usually is one of the most snowy locations in the US, averaging about 450 inches of snowfall per season. Lake Mary Road. 1542 hours.
