WESTERN WIDE-OUT snowplow
Winter is coming and Thomas, being a small engine, needs to put on his snowplow. Thomas hates his snowplow; he thinks it makes him look funny, and when he has it on, the other, bigger engines tease him. But Thomas saves the day when a big storm comes up and Toby is stuck on his branch line.
Describes and illustrates the job of a snowplow driver and how a snowplow works.
The redoubtable Grandma-this books is a sequel to Grandma Drove the Garbage Truck-is at it again. In addition to collecting the town's garbage, Grandma and her sons also plow the roads in the winter. But what happens when a blizzard comes through, it's the day of the big town carol sing, and Grandma's sons are all stuck in the snow and unable to plow? Leave it to Grandma to clear the way to the church for the carol sing. With more help from her grandson Billy, she gets the streets clear and helps out her neighbors in the process, too. In fact, Grandma does such a good job with the plowing, she even beats Santa to the carol sing.

Tioga Pass reopens for the season in Yosemite National Park
May 7, 2012: Tioga Pass in Yosemite National Park is scheduled to reopen for the season on Monday, May 7, at noon, once again making the park accessible from the east and giving backpackers and visitors easy access to the high country. The pass lies along Tioga Road, a seasonal trans-Sierra road that closes annually because of snow in the high country. This year's opening is the earliest since 1988.
Considered by many to the unofficial start of the temperate backpacking season, the opening of Tioga Pass is much anticipated by Fresno backpackers. The road provides vehicle access to the main trailheads throughout Yosemite National Park , one of the most popular wilderness destinations for backpackers that lies just 2 hours northeast of Fresno. The average opening date for Tioga Road is May 27, and by this time each year, the road has generally been closed since early November. This winter season was a highly unusual one for Tioga Road, however: the road did not close for the season until January 17 owing to unseasonable conditions kept it and much of the high country free of snow for more than two months beyond the average closing date of November 5.
