Let it snow
First significant snow of 2022 covers county
The first significant snowfall of 2022 coated Butler County in a blanket of white earlier this week, prompting families to get outside -- some to shovel and others to sled.
Butler Eagle photographers captured photos across Butler County to share with readers, and the team asked readers to share their favorite photos from the week, too.
