In 1941, Scarsdale’s fleet was small but mighty ❄️
We are lucky that 24 plows are hitting the streets tonight! Thank you Village of Scarsdale and Department of Public Works!
The original plow photo was from January 1941, showing Village employee Charles Forkell plowing roads in Crane-Berkley. Fun fact: Since it was midnight, the newspaper says the photographer John Gass used a flashlight for lighting.🔦

Whose estate was it? What did it look like?
