People cut a path for snow plows in this March 3, 1937, photo. City plows were powerless against the frozen four-foot drifts on east 40th and 42nd avenues in the neighborhood of Crestline, Cook, Nelson, and Smith streets. There had been no deliveries of milk, fuel, or groceries for more than a month to the then-sparsely populated section of town.
