This is from that same Time/Life article as the earlier one. The full caption is

Appalachia, eastern Kentucky, 1964. John Dominis/Life Pictures/Shutterstock

Great picture! Does anyone from that area know whether it still gets snow? Where I grew up in upstate NY really doesn’t get much snow anymore. That’s much farther north but probably less altitude

Not sure about this area exactly, I think it's Kentucky, but we get plenty of snow in the West Virginia-area of Appalachia still.
