In times like these, viewer photos of local snowfall and its ensuing chaos are in high demand for area news stations, and 6ABC was no exception yesterday with its #6abcSnow hashtag on Twitter. And while it started out simply enough with the usual snowmen, sledding, and pet pics we usually get this time of year, things quickly went off the rails.
