The Minnesota Star Tribune asked readers to send pics of their pups playing in the snow, and they answered. More than 100 people submitted photos of their dogs enjoying the wintry weather. There were pups skijoring and making fresh tracks in the snow, while others were rolling around the soft fluff and licking the frosty flakes from their noses. “The husky sleeping in the snow made me smile,” one reader commented on social media. According to our snow tracker, a total of 15.6 inches of snow has fallen in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area so far this season. Here are a few of our favorite submitted photos.

The first step in shooting the night sky is to find a dark location with a clear view of the open sky. This shot was taken west of Cook Minnesota on a -17 degree clear night. Exposure was ISO 2000, f1.4 for 20 seconds with a 24mm lens.
