So your commute took two hours last night, you had a mountain of snow to scrape off your car this morning and it's bitterly cold outside. But maybe, just maybe, these beauty of a snowy day makes all the trouble worth it.

St. Louisans took to their Instagram accounts during our first major snowfall of the year, and we must say, the outcome is rather beautiful. Take a look and remember these images as you start the trek home tonight. See, snow isn't all bad.

There was one comment on this photo of Lafayette Square Park: "This is stunning." We tend to agree.

Words of wisdom from this Insta user at Lambert last night: "Always check the forecast when you agree to pick someone up from the airport a week in advance."
