It’s cold right now and that is because it’s Winter and it’s January and I live in Canada….The Winter Wonderland of the North (I love Canada, don’t get me wrong but temperatures like Hawaii all year around would have been nice).

Well at least until I win the lottery there is not much I can do expect to embrace it. So for today’s post I wanted to share some images I have been saving up that are all about Winter. So grab a warm blanket, some hot chocolate (or maybe a hot toddy) and settle in.

1940’s & 1950’s Vintage Winter Photos

Giant Snowdrifts! 1940s vintage photo.

That is a lot of snow..wow! Cute 1940s photo of a young woman who is about to throw a large snowball.

If the snow gets too deep, you could always have someone carry you thru it. 1947 photo in New York City.

Growing up I was a downhill skier, that is what my family did for holidays and I loved it. Not sure when I started to dislike the cold. Anyways…I would totally get back into skiing if I could look like this lovely lady in 1940s ski fashion.

1940s photo: A snowball fight in adorable 1940s winter fashions (minus the clearly lack of winter footwear).

If you can’t beat them…join them like this newly married couple decided to do. 1947-New York City snowstorm.

According to the caption for this image you are looking at ‘The 1957 Outdoor Fun Queen’ of Palisades Amusement Park. Does she look like she is having fun yet?

1940s Photo: Making an “almost” snowman never gets old as these young ladies are showing us.  I love the use of headscarves in this vintage photo!

Another example of fantastic 1940s winter style.

Winter is incomplete without a few certain sports, like skiing and of course skating.

21 Feb 1947: A group of female office workers put on their skates in the snow to enjoy a lunch-time skate on the frozen lake in St. James’s Park, London.

And lastly, lets take a moment to enjoy the wonderful thing called “Winter Driving”. Idaho 1952.

And with that last image, I’m going to grab another hot chocolate and proceed to hibernate till Spring.
