Snowed Under

Snowy enough this week for you? Milward Taylor "Mel" Culbert shows us what it was like back in 1938...


I don't know where this photo was taken. It might be in or around Lucan, Ontario (in Biddulph Township, Middlesex County) where Mel grew up on Poplar Farm. Or it may have been taken in or around London, Ontario where Mel was living and working at the time.

In the winter of 1937-1938, a record 207.4 centimetres (81.5 inches) of snow fell in Toronto so chances are it was just as snowy in Middlesex County.

I wonder whatever happened to that Plymouth?

If you have photos of you and/or your family members in the snow, either past or present, send them to me and I'll publish them on the Culbert Family History blog.
