This is What We Need

A Susanville snow scene,.

This is an interesting postcard I came across. Unfortunately, the postal cancel stamp was uneven, so most of the date does not show.  The author, Carolyn, who sent the card to Miss Sophie Schoenheit of San Jose wrote: “I took this scene in Susanville when the snow was five feet deep.”

The snow obliterates most of the building depicted, so I cannot figure out which residence it is/was. However, I wonder if it might be the Taylor/Compton house on North Weatherlow Street. Whatever the case may be, we could use a lot of snowstorms depicted in the photograph, because this area, as well a wide swath of the West really needs this kind of moisture.
