Genuine winter weather, usually a given in Garrett County, has become a rare visitor this year. The usual weeks of ongoing snow and ice are just not happening, allowing residents to save a bundle in heating costs, and the county roads department to stay well within its budget so far. Snow did come down in the traditional Mountaintop fashion on Saturday, though, resulting in nearly a foot of the drifting white stuff.

But the warmth returned soon after, and today is a rainy February day. The temps are to remain in the 40s until Sunday, when more snow is predicted. Winter Fest is set in Oakland this weekend, and usually is in the midst of cold and snow. This year might be a little warmer, but the celebration is set to go on anyway, and all are invited to come out and have some wintertime fun. Photo by Lisa Broadwater.
