Since we’re just starting autumn, it seems a bit early to be thinking about winter ... and snow.

But we thought it would be fun to show you these two photos, submitted by Frank Schlegel of Harleysville, that shows a blizzard of yesteryear and the same house today.

According to Schlegel, the old photo is a picture of him, in the front of the sleigh, and his father, Nicholas Schlegel, a few days after the blizzard of late February 1941.

“The roads were drifted shut and we needed groceries and supplies (kerosene). We were able to drive through the fields with our freight sleigh from our farm on Keeler Road to our neighbors, The Lawers, on Troxel Road, to get their grocery order.” Schlegel said.

“Mrs. Lawer took this picture,” Schlegel said. “The second picture is the same house today.”

OK, we’re not ready for a blizzard, or any snow, just yet.

But it’s interesting to see how they got around in this area during the blizzard of 1941.
