Snow is piled high around a sturdy stone monument while a crew of men works a machine through the drifts, with the monument standing as the one fixed landmark in an otherwise buried landscape. Winter clearing of this kind was a routine but laborious job in farm country, where a single heavy snowfall could block roads, lanes, and the paths between barns and houses. Machines like the one shown were a relatively new help at the time, replacing shovels and teams of horses for some of the heaviest work. Notice how the monument, the tractor-style equipment, and the men's bundled clothing together record a moment when mechanization was just starting to reach everyday winter chores.
