Snow was reported Friday morning all across Gwinnett County, with winter weather seen in Buford, Suwanee, Norcross, Lilburn and beyond.

The snow falling in front of Lilburn City Hall made the already festive holiday decorations look even more ready for Santa Claus

In nearby Norcross, snow began to accumulate on Gwinnett County police vehicles at the department’s West Precinct.

Snow was also seen accumulating in Peachtree Corners, where it coated resident Lindsey Evans’ deck in a layer of white. Lawrenceville resident Heather Dalton saw flakes falling outside her front door.
