Scope and content
The snow storm that hit Tacoma on January 13, 1950 turned downtown Tacoma into a winter wonderland. In this photograph, taken on Saturday evening January the 14th, a man wearing an overcoat, hat and boots stops to look in the window of Nancy's Baby Portrait Studio at 736 Pacific Avenue and smoke a cigarette. Tacoma had received almost nine inches of snow, and the wind, at 25 miles per hour, had created drifts up to five feet high. The temperature, which had been at 12 degrees Saturday morning did not get above the mid-20s for several days. (TNT 01-16-1950 p.1)
