Sue's February 2024 Your Hometowne front cover! 

Driving back from the Warren County Historical Society annual meeting in Lake George, I passed an old truck out in a field with a funny front end. I knew it was a serious piece of solid snow removal machinery, but not much more than that, other than it was sitting outside on the ground, not a good place to store something like that. It was snowing and slippery out, but I turned the 2020  Mustang around  and got the shot. I sent it immediately to YHT publisher Cheryl Hill, who agreed it was a cover shot. I went down the rabbit hole with brothers, Wikipedia and friends to find that the truck could be an early 1950s Ford  with a SnoGo snowblower on the front. The SnoGo Company originated in Iowa in 1932/ 1933, and SnoGo still makes snow blowers to this day. Many municipalities invested in this heavy snow removal machinery. It was reliable, easy to fix, and easy to run with heated cabs and roll up windows! Many airports and  national park roads are cleaned off of  hundreds of tons of snow with these machines,  which are capable of throwing snow 100 feet off to the side. One 1930's  SnoGo in Colorado has made it into the National Historic Registry! Amazing.  I really enjoyed finding out about this months cover "star."
