Snowy day in West Texas, schools are closed - thought I take the time to post these.
There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.

About 6 inches here in Lubbock - with wind, but not not nearly that high gust-wise.

The Small Eagle $ is a keeper. Think it's the nicest coin of the lot
The Large Eagle $ appears to be cleaned.
The Seated $ is attractive for the grade. The coin got dinged for an lack of head and shield details.
Trade $ - Need to see it in hand re wear on head and eagle's wingtip to viewer's left. I like it.
Don't know enough about the others to comment.

You're not kidding about that snow.... worst winter day I have seen in west TX since moving here in 2009! There were times around noon when it looked like a hurricane, except with snow. And this happens after a 70 degree+ day yesterday that was one of the nicest so far this year. Go figure. A great day to sit inside and gawk at coins.
Hoard the keys.
Hopefully they did not need to get mesquite-smoked in order to slab.
I could not decide if it should be Mesquite-smoked obsolete dollars, or Mesquite's smokin' obsolete dollars. The later didn't sound quite right, almost braggadocios. So, I went with the former. Of course, the coin doctor's posse will likely have a cow over my choice of title.
