I remember a winter storm in 1940, was 8 at the time. Roads were blocked, milk truck could not pick up the cans for a couple of days. All the men were out shoveling with scoop shovels & there were a couple of teams of horses, each pulling a dump scoop. I don't remeber the correct name for it, but they would clear two paths & the men would shovel out the center. This was in Northest Illinois. They cleared the low areas that drifted in. Was about 4-5 miles to Chemung for the milk truck. Snow was about 3-4 feet deep, more so in the drifts & miserably cold even in the barn. could see your breath & hands got numb doing the milking. We poured out a lot of milk on the ground. Left there after serving in the Marines & came to Calif. Chuck
