Description: Snow removal in the Copper Country has reached a high degree of efficiency. Shelden Avenue in Houghton is pictured after a heavy storm that reach blizzard proportions. With a total fall of five feet thus far this season, it will appear phenomenal to an outsider to see the streets cleaned almost down to the bare sidewalk. Snow researchers from foreign countries come to the CC to study local methods and equipment. [Image of the snow removal process in downtown Houghton.]
