Snow storm in Winter of 1958 in Labrador
Toronto. One interesting category of old photos are those displaying storms. For all the 1800s and early 1900s, Our sensitive media were likely far too slow to capture storms as they occurred. More often the aftermath was captured.
At left is a snow storm in Labrador the winter of 1958. The helicopter spark plugs were removed and gently heated in a kitchen oven so the aircraft could come to life after sitting over night.
Your photo collection may have some storm photos already. While we can’t say for sure that you will find more at our next event, we can say you will find interesting items to add to your collection. Our famous fall fair is next on October 19th. Details are in the July 2025 PHSC News newsletter (issue 25-7) and will appear here in a few days.
The idea for this post came from a song called “Riders on the Storm” by the late Jim Morrison and The Doors.
