Since when is Arkansas part of the North East? That is rather interesting, although it is the SOUTHWEST,
But snow in New Hampshire in winter? That's what they're suppose to get.

Christmas visit to the northeast was rewarding but had to be cut short due to foresight application. It rained the entire way to Florida once I departed from the snow prevalent areas. Travel took a little longer but was relatively safe and busy. Hope all has a safe and rewarding Holiday Season.
