Girls of Winter

This is my mom, Tam, and her younger sister Joan. It is a scan of an old roll film negative so I have no notes or dates. Based on their ages, this would be sometime in the mid-1930s, probably the winter of 1933-34. They were living outside of Philadelphia at the time but this seems to have been taken elsewhere. I suspect it was during a visit to grandparents in Reading, PA, likely over Christmas. View full size.

For Want of Insulation

Aside from the cute kids, this photo perfectly illustrates the consequences of not insulating the attic of a home. Heat radiating upward melts the snow and makes ice dams that overflow the gutters. Compare the upper gutters to the lower ones attached to the porch roof, which has no heat exfiltration.
