Morris, New York

The Shell gas station must have been new at this time, I would guess this is 1937 -1941 just from the vehicles/license plates. Note the SOCONY/Texaco pump still in front of Gage's.

c. 1922 "Suburban" model Hatfield, like an early mini van with removable passenger seats, with roll down canvas sides for bad weather.

Be sure to scroll down to see two more snow scene photos -- both of Linn Tractors

Yes, and I believe the guy driving the tractor in that series of photos, was some guy you may have heard of, named Benny Jacobsen.

Patrick house on Patrick Hill (now the empty field on the south side of rt. 23, but the road originally was on the other side before 1915).

1965. They had a fire fighting foam demonstration but the open windows allowed the wind to blow the foam back out and it burnt down, but had already been stripped of it's interior, etc.
