If someone would've asked me as I was leaving the office to recall my day from beginning to end, I would've had to stop and think because of all the intervening circumstances that took place.  Every so often, days like this appear out of nowhere, an … continue reading

Oh Mercy!  We certainly had our workout with the snow today.  I'm not sure how much we ended up getting, but it was more than enough to keep me busy shoveling.  Thank goodness it wasn't so heavy because there must've been another six inches or mor … continue reading

It was a pretty un-eventful day in real estate other than the normal calls, drop-ins, and appointments to schedule.  Once again, I believe we are running too short on new listings coming on the market for this time of year.  It's nearing the end of … continue reading

When I awakened around midnight and looked outdoors, I was shocked to see it snowing and even more so when I got up this morning.  I distinctly remember reading the forecast several days ago and it mentioned "possible" light snow.  Well, I'd say to … continue reading

Thank goodness the sun finally came out and ended up being above zero nearly all day today. It certainly showed by the number of people out and about because it appeared as if half our population suddenly awakened from a deep hibernation.  Thinking … continue reading

Thank goodness the wind stopped blowing, but soon realized this morning I had to do some re-shoveling due to overnight drifting. At least the sun was shining brightly which made the cold more bearable.  Having not seen it in some days, it seemed all … continue reading

In spite of all the complaining being done about this snowstorm, at least we didn't get as much as predicted.  I'd say we ended up with somewhere around four inches on average, but with the wind blowing again, there's definitely been some drifting g … continue reading

I guess I was off by about 24 hours when thinking it was going to snow last night when now seeing it starting to snow.  There were appointments cancelled earlier today because of a winter weather advisory which claimed we were supposed to be getting … continue reading
