It was reported yesterday that Maryland received snow during December for the first time in five years!
And it had to be when Chris and I were visiting. It is cold! The temperature has not been above freezing for almost 48 hours. Although, today is supposed to climb into the 40s.
We were quite certain that snowy weather was on its way as we drove back from Doylestown, PA, on Thursday evening. The road crews were diligently working to prepare the roads for the anticipated slippery conditions. Initially, I had anticipated that the snow would be light and short-lived, but to my surprise, it persists even this morning.
We are currently planning our return journey to Florida for Monday. The weather forecast predicts cold temperatures, with a low of 28 degrees, but we should make it south before the next storm. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, with several more activities scheduled for today and tomorrow. However, I am eagerly looking forward to the warmth of South Florida once again! Although I grew up in Upstate New York, I believe I developed a fondness for the mild winter temperatures of South Florida during my time at the University of Miami.
There is a certain satisfaction in not being slapped with an icy breeze when stepping outside or freezing my hands while clearing the truck windows. Which begs the question, Where did I leave my lone remaining ice scraper? I couldn’t find it in the truck yesterday.
