#SnowDE is technically a public service hashtag, used by DelDOT and the governor’s office to tweet alerts, driving restrictions and snow safety tips. But if we’re being honest, the snow day pics are the best part, and #SnowDE is just too perfect of a hashtag to devote just to road closings (if you really need to know what they are, you should be using the DelDOT app anyway).

It even seemed to catch on with out-of-staters for a minute, probably because, as rumor has it, Delaware was trending around midnight Jan. 5.

Delaware is trending on Twitter lol #SnowDE
