Looking towards Snow telescope building from the roof of the physical laboratory, Mount Wilson Observatory. An unidentified man is shoveling snow from the roof of the lab. The physical laboratory's roof is in the foreground, with a small area of cleared space. A yardstick leans against the snow, indicating just more than three feet of snow on the roof. A shovel is nearby. The Snow telescope building roof and nearby trees appear to be free from snow. To the right of the man some electrical poles and lines can be seen; one of the tops of the poles has fallen.
