Greensburg Street Scene in Winter/Sixteen Inch Snowfall, Greensburg, Indiana, February 18, 1910
| Description: |
People have gathered along the sidewalk of a commercial street in Greensburg, Indiana to view the large piles of snow from a recent storm. Two oxen are also on the sidewalk. Noted for some extreme weather conditions (temperatures have topped 100 degrees in the summer), Greensburg set a record for the state’s coldest temperature, minus 35 degrees on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, 1951. That record was later broken by 1 degree in New Whiteland on January 19, 1994. |
