7 Rare Vintage Photos of What Winter Really Looks Like

Speaking of puppies, gone are the days when we had the family dog mount him on the sleigh. Not only is this not common anymore, but it is also more dangerous outside. Grandmas used to tell tales of how they were comfortable with sending their kids to the store with the family dog, as people would be scared to even come close if they had such a big dog around.

Needless to say, it was a lot of fun to be pulled around when we were little in our tiny makeshift dog sleighs. And, as many would try to counter, it was not cruel to the dog: only younger kids would do this, and for a 55-pound dog, the combined weight of the sleigh and the kid was worth very little. If anything, it made for some of the cutest winter photos!

  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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. The pictures are really great. I love Snow, the snow that hasn’t been disturbed by humans walking through it. They always mess everything up and make it ugly.

  6. Yesterday, I had an appointment and had not realized that we had a storm and my car was covered
    with snow. Of course, I couldn’t find the brush to remove the snow
    so turned on the car, defrosters and used my hands to get rid of it. I hadn’t touched the roof
    and as I drove’ the roof kept melting and running down my front windows. I just kept using
    windshield wipers. By the time I reached my destination and looked at my car, no hint of snow remained and my car looked very clean.
    Sometimes, you just have to do what you have to do no matter how silly you look!
    We are expecting another storm tomorrow evening, but I’ll get in what I need ahead of time and watch the storm from inside my hoouse
