The Cape Region woke up to a nice, thick blanket of snow Jan. 29.
The National Weather Service is calling for the snow to end sometime around 2 p.m., but the blizzard warning is in effect until 4 p.m. because of strong winds associated with the storm.
While Cape Gazette photographers were busy covering the storm, readers submitted their photos from the snow day. See the full gallery at capegazette.com/article/send-us-your-snow-photos/234206.
