This picture is very appropriate.


January 14, 1939. "National Capital digs out after storm. Nearly five inches of snow blanketed Washington yesterday, followed by sleet. Icy steps made the going to and from the Capitol difficult until workmen arrived this morning and scraped away the menace." Harris & Ewing Collection glass negative.

The site is in my favorites list and I check it out when bored. It's nice that you can search for pics on there, too.

I've been digging through the Library of Congress site for WWII pics.  It's addicting!

Nice. I love old time photos.

Here's some of NYC and New York State in the 40's that are in color http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/cushman/results/result.do?display=thumbcap&action=search&query=%22new+york%22&page=1&pagesize=20

And some in B&W from the 30's and earlier http://wirednewyork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5010

The site is in hi-res.
