    1. Weather comes in cycles, there is no global warming. Santa Ana winds every year, wake up people global warming is a scam.

  3. I would've guessed that was in the Keweenaw peninsula. I've seen banks of snow that high up there in the past, and not 1880s past.

  4. I like how in those old-fashioned snow photos there's always a bunch of men in the picture - telling the wordless story of how they conquered nature. Men proud to be men. Men were men.

    1. Ansel Adams took photos of the scenery. Everybody else took photos of friends, family, and coworkers.

  6. Where's the snow they removed? They didn't have snow blowers then. Guessing those guys and others loaded it on rail cars to be removed in reverse.
