In our ongoing blog series, What Is So Great About Montgomery County PA, here in Southeastern PA, we are blessed with four beautiful seasons and seemingly well protected from nature's occasional fury.
As Hurricane Earl threatens the eastern seaboard, we are not too worried here in Southeastern PA. Hurricanes have swept by over the years, but rarely has Southeasten PA ever taken a direct hit from one. Pennsylvania is also just far enough inland that we only seem to get the remnants of hurricanes and the accompanying wind and rain, which will indeed cause some localized flooding but never the devastation from a direct hit - the jet stream is our friend here in Pennsylvania.
So besides hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and wildfires are virtually unheard of here in Southeastern PA.
What about snow and blizzards? Yes, you do need to like snow to live in Pennsylvania, but much to every child's annoyance, we don't always get a ton of snow each winter. Winter varies from mild to downright cold and blustery. But there is not a single child or puppy dog in this state who hasn't completely delighted in the first snowfall of the season. Families in Pennsylvania make lasting memories with snowball fights, sledding, skiing, and best of all THE SNOW DAY - maker of the best impromtu playdates and pot luck dinner parties ever!
Spring is always a welcome relief after a long cold winter. The trees and bulbs flower just before everything turns green. Everyone comes out to play - bikes, baseball, gardening, you name it. You find every and any excuse to be outside.
Summers are typically hot and sunny with lots of flowers, fruits and vegetables. Fireflies are out at night lighting up the trees. The smell of BBQ's fill the air. The days are long and relaxed.
Fall brings a welcome relief after a long hot summer. The kids go back to school. The trees turn brillant colors of red, orange and yellow before they drop their leaves. Hayrides, bonfires, pumpkin carving and football games are on everyone's agenda.
So while many may yearn for tropical breezes year-round, so many people who have tried the move South find themselves returning to Pennsylvania - family, friends, roots and the seasons bring them back home. If you are considering a move to Southeastern Pennsylvania, you may not love the weather on a particular day but you will love the weather year round.
Come, we would be happy to show you around any season!
