    Cold Weather, No Problem!

    Baby, it’s cold outside. Really. Really. Reaalllllllly cold. But don’t let the dropping temperatures keep you at home. Bundle up and see all that Lancaster has to offer this Winter.

     

     

    A Brisk Morning:

    There’s nothing like cold winter air to wake you up. Get up early and hit Central Market. Treat yourself with a warm beverage as a reward for braving the elements + stock up on healthy fresh food to help you start off the new year on the right foot.
