Maryland was caught between the North and the South during the Civil War. It is also often right on the cusp of winter weather systems. These two thoughts came together during an early snow flurry that did not stick.
Border State
The undecided snow falls as
flakes
from the cold December sky but
lands
like rain, melting as it touches
the still
warm ground. A few degrees south
of
a blizzard and north of a
thunderstorm,
autumn makes a final stand
against whatever
comes after, not too far from
Gettysburg.
