It's decidedly not wintry 'round these parts lately. But here's a really interesting article from the NYTimes about winters past. And they're not talking blizzards from the 1960s or 1940s, either, but 1920s and 1890s. Some great photos in the accompanying slideshow. But none, alas, of the troops with flamethrowers who apparently hit the streets for snow removal in 1920.
