Imagine the Hudson frozen solid. ❄️ This 1947 photo captures the aftermath of the Great Blizzard of 1947—an unexpected Christmas storm that buried the Northeast in record snow. Massive ice slabs choked the river, a rare and powerful display of winter’s grip. #HudsonRiver #HastingsHistoricalSociety

Gus Wagner navigates Warburton Ave. in his cutter, with Spring St. behind him, in this circa 1905 photograph by George Sackett. Winters in the early 1900s were especially harsh, making sleighs and cutters a common sight on Hastings’ snow-covered streets. #HastingsHistory #WarburtonAvenue
