Description

This image appears to show the infamous 1960 Blizzard. This image shows a military helicopter sitting in a snowy field. The helicopter has "Army" written on it. A military truck can be seen parked to the left. A small group of people stand to the right. A snow-covered hill with houses and buildings on it can be seen in the background. This is likely from when the 1960 Blizzard cut off travel in the High Country and the U.S. military was needed to bring in supplies. This slide has a processing date of March 1960.
