My daughter found some old pictures at her mother's house the other day. This is my Dad, digging through the snow in Nebraska, sometime in the early 1950s.

Just a dusting of snow and a use what ya got window. My dad did that
with a couple of small frame windows.
 
All the layers of dirt in the snow bank suggest high winds and daily drifting snow rather than a few heavy snowfalls. It takes a lot of work to dig out almost every single morning.
 
That wouldn't have been 1949, would it? As I recall, there was a horrendous snow that year. Trains were snowed in for a month, and they finally began delivering hay to cattle with transport airplanes. If I recall correctly, there was a rancher killed out in the Sandhills when he got hit by a bale of hay dropped from a C-47.

Could have been in 1949. I was just guessing on the date of the picture. I know that after Dad came back from WW2 , they stayed in Nebraska till I was born in 1955. They left when I was about year old. My first memories are from Greeley, Colorado.
 
Our vet from years back, Harold Hester was from Greeley. He had a brother, also a vet that lived there and did some work for Monfort feedlot. He was a hard working, slow talking character.
 
I almost said mostly in Vermont but I didn't want to put a limit on it. Do you see that in NY. My FIL's house in Springfield Vermont had a slanted window.
 
They are around. Something that one sees more in Craftsman styled, homes and many of those 2 story two family homes with an outside staircase had windows running up the enclosed outside stair cases with the windows parallel to the roof.
