Early this morning, as Elkton started recovering from yet another blast of wintry weather, it appeared that the Union Hospital greeter had been outside in the freezing conditions too long.
A powerful storm dumped 14-inches of white stuff on the county seat, but before dawn it had moved on up the coast. And across the county things had remained relatively quiet as people settled in to let this big nor’easter pass.
But upon approaching the main hospital entrance soon after daybreak visitors found the snowman there to welcome them on this Friday in the middle of winter, as the sun started to break through the clouds.
