"These are pics from yesterday (Monday)," reports YouNews reporter LisaB in Cottage Grove.
"What a great day for snow. No school, no work, woooo hoooo. However, my daughter Tiayla is just getting over a nasty cold, so she couldn't go out and play. We did go for a brief walk so I could at least snap some photos of her in the first snow of the winter season =)"
