This shot from the Swannanoa Valley Museum & History Center's historic photograph collection is thought to have been taken during the blizzard that hit western North Carolina on March 17, 1936. Snowdrifts up to 8 feet high buried parked cars and caused hazardous driving conditions. This photograph looks west down State Street in Black Mountain.
