We departed Fredericton NB at 7 am on 26 December. The sun was shining and the sky was clear. Not too far down the road the temperature started to drop to 8 F. Thank goodness the heating was effective in the car.
We arrived back in Portland to sunny weather. The homes here are rather stately and as can be seen there is not much snow on the ground.
However, by that evening the weather started to change as a very strong snow storm which would eventually cover 65% of the USA came up from the south west and very quickly planes stopped flying. So we ended up spending 2 days in Portland and finally flying out on 28 December.
The day we left it was clear.
As we sat having lunch at the airport at Portland we had to agree with Benjamin Franklin.
We departed 2 hours late from Portland and missed our connecting flight in DC. We were separated from our luggage which happens to us on a regular basis. So we had an enjoyable evening in DC and finally returned home 3 days later.
Life is never dull.
Best wishes to all and may 2013 be a good one for you all.
Bev and Ross
