On February 8th and 9th, a major snowstorm enveloped Ashtabula, Ohio with blizzard conditions.
Over 100 years ago, the road system in this region was more like trails, with horse-drawn wagons and sleighs still a primary means for getting around. Rail was another popular mode of transportation. But snow removal over rail lines was primitive at best in those days. Therefore needless to say, many areas were paralyzed for some time.
These incredible photos captured street scenes of Ashtabula, Ohio after winter ice storm of February 14 and 15, 1909.
