Snow shots

As 2008 draws to a close, we thought we’d pull one of our old “year end” files at random and feature a few photos from days gone by.

The winner — the year 1980.

The two photos featured were snapped by current chief photographer Geoff Patton and are marked as being shot on March 31, 1980, when, quite obviously, we had a little bit of snow here in the region.

The one photo shows a Conrail light stand at Main and Broad streets in Souderton.

The other was shot on Main Street, Lansdale, and not only features the snowstorm, but also the now-departed Hotel Tremont, where the Rite-Aid now stands at Main and Broad.


Let’s hope March 31, 2009, doesn’t bless us with similar weather!
