There is no mode of transportation immune to the perils of traveling in snow.

An Amtrak train pulling up to a platform recently sprayed everyone waiting with an avalanche's worth of snow. As you can see in the above slo-mo video, the snow went every which way.

We already knew that the wintry weather can make driving a hazard (or, in some cases, a downright disaster).

Maybe the only thing better than watching this video in slow motion is watching it unfold in real time, which you can do below. It's getting splattered like this that really makes you long for a sweltering heat wave, where the sun blazes down on you so hot you can't help but long for the days when it's so cold a blast of snow from a passing train would be the most refreshing thing this side of the popsicle that melts before you take it out of its wrapper.
