Scene on Hayes Street in Norwich During a Recent Snowstorm
Utica Saturday Globe, February 1921
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: It was last Friday morning, wasn't it, that the city awoke to find the ground blanketed with eight inches of the beautiful [snow], while, the trees and shrubs were fantastic in the snow flakes that clung to them. It was a sight that does not occur every winter season. Appreciating the rarity of the view W.F. Chipman, senior of the Rembrandt studio, set up his camera in his door yard on Hayes Street while the snow flakes were still falling and secured a snap shot that is reproduced herewith and is worthy of being kept as a souvenir of this wonderfully mild and pleasant winter. Perhaps we should not mention that without rapping on wood lest we bring on some of the other kind of winter weather. But let her come, for if there is anything wild or weird or funny or fantastic or unusual about it, the Globe readers may trust "Chip" to snap it and preserve it for them.
