Whenever the white stuff starts falling, we grab those phones and cameras and start snapping those awesome snow shots. If we can get our dogs or kiddos in there, well, all the better. There's just something we have to capture forever about a Colorado landscape covered in snow.

Turns out, this is nothing new for the people of Colorado. Though they may not have had social media to share the snaps on, Coloradans have been taking pictures of the snow (and their dogs!) for over 100 years. Check out some of these really awesome historical pictures we found of Colorado's snowy past!
