This weekend’s big storm wasn’t the blockbuster many had hoped for, but in a region that’s barely seen any snow for a couple years, two to four inches was enough for a snowball fight, and definitely sufficient to make a decent snow humanoid. Here are some of the snowfolks we spotted on social media.

Toasting the first real snow in the DC Metro in ages. Could go for a bit more, but just enough to build an abominable snowman. @capitalweather #snowday #snow ❄️🌨️☃️ pic.twitter.com/m26sQ5NBLh
