Ugh, what’s good about Maryland during wintertime?! Actually, more than you may think. Although winter is thought of by many as a dark, drab time of year, there’s surprisingly much to see and do in the Old Line State — you just have to know where to go. Here are 10 reasons why no one in their right mind visits Maryland during winter 😉
