Massachusetts was just hit with its biggest snowstorm of the winter, with some areas getting as much as 30 inches of snow. Before the snow hit, we asked readers to share their best wintry weather photos with us and they delivered.

Below you’ll find reader-submitted shots that include skiing in the Public Garden, white-out conditions, and furry friends playing in the snow.

Readers who were brave enough to step outside during this weekend’s storm shared their favorite photos of the snowfall.
