The Big Snow
(Click photos to enlarge)
Snowstorms offered children in the community unscheduled
holidays and otherwise altered the routine of daily
life. Probably the worst snowstorm to hit the area
in many years was the one that struck in late January of
1946. The Interurban and Milwaukee streetcars were
unable to operate for days. This picture, taken
with a Brownie Reflex camera, shows a high snowbank in
front of what was Gerrit's Drug Store and the A&P Store. |
