    Now that's what I'd call a studded tire. BTW news story this morning about Jackman ME has not had a no school day for 3 years because of snow.

    @Al Amoling

    When I was in school, no such thing existed (in the Chicago area) as a "snow" day. One morning in Kindergarten, a foot had fallen overnight. Off I trudged at 5 years of age through that foot of snow, following tracks from tires, footprints, etc., the 1-1/2 miles to my school. My Mother knew full well I could handle it!

    Three kids showed up! The other two had been driven there by their m others..

    @Frank Sanoica I grew up in Boston and I don't remember any snow days either. In fact I have one favorite memory of hooking a ride on the back of a taxi that was heading towards my school. I happened to look up and my teacher was staring at me so I let go just as we hit a bare spot and I scraped my face a bit.

    This pic was actually taken in Australia in 1910 not Afghanistan.

    Perhaps you have access to some historical NC pics. I'd be interested in seeing those and expect so are others.

    The Sydney "coathanger" nears completion. I expect this is around 1932.
