A color postcard view of a downtown street in Green Bay, Wisconsin, following a major snowstorm on March 9, 1918. Tall, compacted snowbanks rise several feet high along the sidewalk, nearly reaching the lower edges of storefront windows. Pedestrians in long coats walk along a narrow, wet path cleared beside the snow walls. Multi-story brick and stone commercial buildings line the street, with hanging signs reading “Dentist,” “Theater,” and “News.” Printed text along the bottom identifies the scene as Green Bay’s worst snowstorm in 40 years.
An aerial view of downtown Buffalo, New York, completely covered in snow during the Blizzard of 1977. High-rise office buildings and shorter commercial structures are clustered near the center of the image, with streets, highways, and highway ramps barely visible beneath thick snow cover. The city grid appears muted and pale, with few visible vehicles or signs of activity, emphasizing the scale of the storm. Printed text at the top reads “BUFFALO, New York” and “Blizzard of ’77.”
