Snow Daze

This was one for the books. After the area had already been hit by several snowstorms this winter, last week brought two full days of snow, and many people found themselves digging out from two feet or more of the fluffy white stuff. Our readers got creative, building snow creatures and play structures. Few could resist the region’s beauty, snapping photos of the hillsides, farms and roads blanketed by snow. Here are some of the photos taken by readers and by our own photographers.
