SunTrust Park sees its first snow on Dec. 8, 2017.

Now we know what SunTrust Park looks like in white. (But someone should tell the ballpark that it’s after Labor Day.)

Yes, for the first time since its inaugural home game on April 14, the Braves' new stadium has gotten snowed upon.

The team shared a couple shots of the scene on Twitter.

Cobb County is expected to get between 2 and 4 inches of snow Friday, so consider this a reminder of why baseball is not played during the winter.

Check out what other folks in Cobb had to say on social media about the snow.
