Girls in the snow - 1922

A delightful Shorpy image (click for fullscreen). In the discussion thread was this comment about the storm from the Washington Post:

Femininity Fares Bravely Forth
In Breeches, Silks and Goloshes

The feminine wayfarers in the storm yesterday held their own in the matter of endurance, and seemed to enjoy the long walks to and from the government departments and the shopping centers. Many of them won masculine approval by the sensible clothes they wore to combat the elements. Sports hats, sensible coats, high shoes, wool stockings and "goloshes" were the favorite footwear.

The fortunate women and girls who owned riding breeches wore them under their long or short coats, making it possible for them to go through the highest drifts without difficulty.

A second picture of the same girls here.
