It all looks like last year's snow

And yet there is fresh snow on the ground after the spring is officially here for more then two weeks now. It keeps snowing and when I open a window or a door I can actually listen to the sounds of silence.

With all this white all around I find it hard to believe that less than three weeks ago we were rapidly advancing from the New Mexican desert through the north of Texas and straight from there to Oklahoma's warm and welcoming Tulsa. 

In the third day trough Missouri, with strong winds making us swaying in the car, to St. Lewis, meeting again with the mighty Mississippi and starting to feel the teeth of a cold snowy storm- all new to us.

Most of the fourth day we navigated in the Great Plains of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, covered with snow, still with the biting cold wind. Horizon turns into another horizon to still another. 

You really get the sense of how mighty this continent of one country is. 

 At dusk we entered the mountains of West Virginia. We dropped to the hotel's bed sooo tiered yet with a great sense of achievement. Tomorrow we will be in our next home state and new home for the next who knows how many years.

 The last day we went along the Appalachian Mountains for a while

 

then crossed them to Maryland and after another experience with snow we went down on the eastern slopes of the mountains toward the Sunny Pennsylvania. It was still windy and cold but the Sun was in the sky to greet us, welcoming us to our new life 

Little we knew about the weather of these parts of the country and soon enough we started to learn that snow here is not something notorious and special. It's normal even if the spring was officially announced to wake up to a White Passover- the Spring Holyday!  

This is part of our new reality we just have to get used to it and sooner the better.

Happy Passover to all
