Description
A team of six strong horses pulls a sled through three feet of new snow on E. First Street in Cle Elum during the winter of 1915-1916. From November until April over 28 feet of snow fell on the upper Kittitas County communities of Roslyn, Ronald and Cle Elum bringing nearly all forms of transportation to a halt. The driver turns his team from Pennsylvania Avenue traveling east onto First Street. The brick Central Hotel Annex is on the right.: Postcard titled, "The Big Snow Cle Elum, Wash." (Connell Photo)
