Although snow comes with the territory when you live in New England, it’s safe to say that the recent round of snowstorms has many yearning for spring. At least we are fortu- nate to get through winter with modern day inventions like car heating, and snowplows quickly clearing the snow off roads. This was not the case a hundred years ago. The photo on the left, taken sometime around the turn of the last century, is the corner of Ocean House Road at Spurwink Avenue looking toward today’s town center (same intersection today on right). Getting around town often meant walking, and snowshoes defi nitely came in handy. At that time, the town organized teams of men to go around on horse drawn sleighs with wooden runners, digging out various areas after a snowstorm. Horse drawn rollers also were used. These were like a fl at barrel on its side that was fi lled with water, which froze, therefore making it heavy. Instead of pushing the snow away as is done today with snowplows, snow was fl attened with the roller. CEHPS presents Cape Elizabeth: The Postcard View
