 Here is New York City 1915 aftermath of Storm Piles of snow render New York City streets nearly impassible in this photograph from 1915.

Even today, after particularly heavy snowfalls, cities still struggle to clear the mounds of snow left behind by plows. From National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, from "Snow removal in New York City," in The Municipal Engineer, November 1915
