Snow and ice in Cobb County's Marietta produced some solid posts

When people get excited, one way or the other, they usually turn to social media.

And that's just what folks in Marietta did when it snowed late Tuesday into Wednesday.

Some parts of Cobb County got up to 1½ inches.

(You can keep up with our running coverage of the weather here and watch WSB's broadcast here.)

So, we took a look at social media posts near Marietta Square and a few miles away.

So if you want to see some adorable animals, beautiful snowy scenes and funny jokes, keep reading.

Here’s one from 4 a.m.

There's nothing quite like being the first person to walk on a pristine, unblemished surface of new snow. It's like being on a different planet, untouched by any other person. #GaWx @NWSAtlanta pic.twitter.com/E9zJwq4e1R

This was enough #Atlanta snow to make me stay home. At -62F I’d become a ice sculpture. SMH pic.twitter.com/EPZIQhPFKN

Wide awake! 👀 Now if I actually had to be somewhere I’d be fighting with the ⏰! This watery snow is an ice layer in the making. Le sigh 😔 pic.twitter.com/dFDwJxT1sb

Snow, again. Second time in about a month! People left their cars on the street & people’s cars are getting stuck trying to get up the hill to the gates. pic.twitter.com/tsVhfD5VtX

Even state representatives get slowed by snow

A good covering of snow and/or ice in downtown Atlanta. Not much movement out there. The joint House-Senate Appropriations hearings cancelled for today. pic.twitter.com/l5JAsy7yxe

Obligatory Snow Day post ❄

It was a big day for some, like Maverick — the 1-year-old yellow labrador retriever. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution could not confirm whether or not Maverick was a good boy.

Maverick's first snow day! #Fox5Snow pic.twitter.com/aD94JqK4Iu

It’s difficult to tell whether or not this cat was less amused by snow than Maverick.

More importantly, you apparently need to keep an eye out for @queenlosa on the roads.

I'm the worst person to drive next to in snow.
I'm driving dead center in the middle of the roads 😂

Snow can be a give-and-take type of deal.

Also no school because of snow but also no electricity to so I can't edit :( pic.twitter.com/Jc7DKcQcmg

@DGPurser gets it, too. He said this was taken near Canton and Piedmont roads about 8:30 a.m.

Oh the weather outside is frosty.
Come to think of it, so is the weather inside.
Because the power went out!! 😥 pic.twitter.com/RteGHsosOH

And get at @_TheRealMayer_ with some hair assistance.

It's so cold that the gel in my hair feels like it's frozen 😂

Some people need no help at all.
