Walking in a Winter Wonderland: Gallery

Did you snap photos from yesterday's storm? Add them to our gallery.

Sure the roads were a bit messy and traveling, if you were so inclined, was a bit erratic. But if you enjoy the change of scenery a good storm brings, the Dec. 26 storm (which proved a bit briefer than expected) provided for some some great photo opportunities, despite your photo skills. Our cameras caught some of the best winter has to provide...as well as one man who was trying to brave the storm on Lake Road in Avon Lake...by bicycle. We found the Peter Miller House and the gazebos at both Miller Road Park and in the French Creek district of Avon. Upload your photos into our gallery.
