This historical black and white photo depicts a scene from King Street East in Downtown Stoney Creek following a major snowstorm in 1944. The street is heavily blanketed in snow, making it nearly impassable, with deep tracks cut through the drifts. Several people and a horse-drawn vehicle are visible in the middle of the snowy road. There are also parked cars and small buildings lining both sides of the street, including a prominent store named "Hagan’s Drugs" that offers "Tourist Supplies". The trees and rooftops are covered in snow, highlighting the severity of the storm. This image captures the resilience of the community in the face of harsh winter conditions.
