Main Street Westminster MD after a heavy snowfall circa 1940s

Update: Historian Joe Getty says: “could be the "Palm Sunday Snowstorm" of 1942. My Northern News article this week mentions it: "An unusual storm known as the “Palm Sunday Snowstorm... See More” hit Carroll County on March 29-30, 1942. In Westminster, this storm delivered one of largest one-day accumulations (22 inches in 24 hours) and a total of 32 inches. This was a localized storm that primarily affected only Maryland instead of the broader mid-Atlantic region. As a late season storm, the wet, heavy snow fell on trees and plants that had already blossomed and caused damage to crops and fruit trees, fallen limbs and branches and downed power lines throughout this region."

Historical Society of Carroll County has photos of the Palm Sunday Snowstorm that you could compare your image to - Ed Hailfley of Frizzellburg had some great shots of that snowstorm as well.

This image shows Main Street Westminster MD after a heavy snowfall. I do not recall where I got this image… I have always thought that renowned Westminster photographer Charles Magee took the photo after a heavy snowfall in 1946, but this is only hypothecation and in the end, I do not know the year or the photographer. If you know, please be in touch.
