Shovelling Snow

Some may be complaining now about having to shovel snow when a blizzard hits their state, but wait until they realize that back in 1917 you would have had to shovel snow out of your car! Yeah, the good old days when cars did not have any sort of insulation. This photo was taken in New York and back then cars used to not have any sort of windows– you know, the glass that keeps all rain and snow away from the interior of the car.

So the people back then had to not only shovel all the snow around the car to be able to get it out but also inside the car so it could be used! If you ask us, we think we’ve got it good nowadays!

  1. I live in Srilanka. We never go through winter as in European countries. However, while I am writing this note Srilanka is unusually Misty and Cold from early morning (8/12/22). As per the information received the mist is due to accumulated dust in the Indian atmosphere. Citizens have been advised to wear a good mask before they leave their homes to avoid catching a cold. This reminds me of the Covid19 days. How long will this last be anybody’s guess.

  2. The good old days?? You no longer have snow?? Well, that’s what happens when you move from Massachusetts to Florida! I don’t know what kind of bs you are peddling, but in my part of the country, we still have snow, like always in the winter. There’s nothing “good old days” about it. Every winter, it snows, as usual.

  3. Back in 2007 or 2008 we had a blizzard in Chicago, and it took me over 4 hours to go roughly 35 miles from workplace St Charles to home in Oswego. Accumulation was over 3 feet, and it took me most of the following day to dig out my driveway. Not quite as bad as the photos you showed, but then I had no National Guard to help me shouvel, either!

  4. They are AWESOM PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It really does show what Snow look like then.
    And when the Snow first fell, It was as White coud be, and it look STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I remember The Blizzard of 1978!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
