Description
Sacramento pedestrians brave a slushy southwest corner of Ninth and K Streets in this March 14, 1942, photograph. The surprise weather brought out the eccentric in Capital citizens: from skiing down K Street to the hurling of snowballs at passing cars. In the immediate background of the photograph is the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Temple; to the far left of the picture is the Ruhstaller Building at Ninth and J Streets with its distinct ported windows. By the late afternoon it was raining again while, by the next morning, a warm sun quickly made sure the dusting was nothing more than a memory.
