My first snow Parks on the Air activation.
When I woke up this morning and looked outside, there was a dusting of snow, so I decided to go do a quick activation of K-0928 Fort McHenry National Monument and Shrine in Baltimore, Maryland.
When I got there, the park was closed due to heavy snow fall in the area.
I decided that I have to find another park and one that was most likely to be opened 24/7.

The roadway was treacherous because of the amount of snow that was falling, at one point, visibility was reduced to about 100 meters, there were cars in ditches and trees laying across or partially on the Parkway.
Traffic was in single lane and traffic moving no more that a couple feet every five minutes.

I then completed my first snow storm POTA activation by making 4 contacts via the RS-44 satellite. By this time, the snow had stopped falling and I was ready to make my return trip back home.
