The snowstorms keep hitting us here in New England with another one blanketing us with fresh snow overnight. But it seems that the largest accumulations in the Northeast are usually the areas in upstate New York that are affected by the lake affects snow that comes off of Lake Ontario.

This scene was photographed in 1945 by Theodore H, Shuelke in the town of Pompey, located in Onondaga County, Southeast of Syracuse, New York. A Buick and a Ford are dwarfed by the snow banks on either side of the street. See how the snow was handled back then in New York in an earlier post.
