Post Your Snow Pics on Patch

The first significant snowstorm in a year may hit us overnight Saturday. Share your pictures with Patch.

We haven't seen much snow around here in almost a full calendar year, but the first significant snowstorm of the season hit Saturday night, dumping upwards of 8 inches around town. The novelty of the white stuff after a full year is sure to bring winter lovers outside.  Whether you build a snowman, take a stroll through the woods or watch the kids battle it out in a good ole fashioned snowball fight, we want to see your pictures.

Let us know in the comments section below how much fell in your backyard.
