Today is the first day of spring, and we were hoping to bring you bucolic scenes showing period automobiles out for a pleasant run in fresh greenery. But Mother Nature has other ideas, and the snow is falling once again in Vermont and we are due for at least a few more inches of the white stuff. Therefore, you are going to have to endure two more winter scenes.

This pair of images from the Manitoba Archives show the Try-It Auto Sled above that might be a recycled biplane turned into an auto sled or custom built unit made to look like one. The scene is Winnipeg River Park in Winnipeg, Canada and in the background appears to be a ski jump. Enjoy checking out this unique cable-operated rear-steer vehicle with an interesting set of runners.

Below is Miss Winnipeg in a photo dated 1923, posing with her snow shoes possibly for a winter carnival or a parade. The medium-sized sedan behind her is by an unknown maker, but we are confident that our readers will be able to tell us more about her car. You can view over seventy-five snow-related photos with all types of interesting vehicles here.
