So who would have thought it would be snowing Halloween weekend? Well, I certainly didn’t see this coming. This can be the official start of winter. As exciting or sad the idea that winter is upon us, it brings lots of great sights of winter wonderland.
Now, imagine being abroad in other countries, there are a couple things to think about here: 1) the sights, and 2) how do other countries deal with snow? First, the sights are just as breathtaking as is the fall foliage. Whether it’s seeing the Great Wall of China, or the city of Beijing, the scene is incredible. Or if you’re in Spain or Mexico, snow is rare so if you are around to see it, enjoy it while it lasts.
So I am sure you are all familiar with Baltimore and there snow removal process. Clearly there are some pros and cons, but let’s put it into perspective compared to other places around the world. In Spain, particularly Madrid for example since snow is so rare, even a nuisance amount of snow can paralyze a city for days. Or in Beijing, snow isn’t the most common precipitation, but even a small storm of 1 inch of snow, can create a big problem for the city.
As this Halloween weekend storm comes to an end, let’s enjoy what Mother Nature has in store for us. Enjoy the sites, drink some hot chocolate, and imagine the sites in other wonders of the world! Until next time…stay warm!
