This weekend’s snowstorm might have made it hard to get in and out of some Wellesley homes, but it also helped one family make an igloo.

Please send tips, photos, ideas to theswellesleyreport@gmail.com

Thanks to all who shared rainbow photos from Wellesley on Friday.

There’s more than one pot of gold in town, no doubt, but this photo indicates there might be one at Wellesley Free Library.
