We are barely into 2014, and we in the northeast are being walloped by a double-header of a storm, which has already been responsible for many fender benders, and more.
This storm was supposed to begin on New Year's evening at about midnight - well we did not see midnight, but when I woke up this morning at about 4:00 the white fluffy stuff was sprinkling out of the sky. It was sort of like looking at my mother's old sugar shaker, when she was decorating the tops of cookies with confectioner's sugar (powdered) - was God just giving us a sprinkling? Not so!
Surprising to me that at 4:30, with a prediction of between 8" to 14" of new snow that all of the southern part of the State of Maine had not yet declared a "white-out" and that all schools would be closed for today, at least. About an hour and a half later, though, the ALL OUT message was being televised over all of the local stations. Personally, I do not quite understand the rationale behind having kids go back to school for the last two days of the week and then have the weekend. Why NOT allow families to enjoy their vacations, right through Sunday and then head back to school and work on Monday? Who knows?
Well, this is certainly an impressive site - as I look out my office window and see the trucks and cars moving like molasses on a frigid day - it is only +2 degrees right now and the winds have not really begun! UGH! We are in for one helluva storm - supposed to keep snowing until about noon tomorrow! Can hardly wait.
With the light on, OLD GLORY flies proudly...
Now that the rush of Christmas has passed and the ball-dropping thrill and the Tournament of Roses Parade are both memories, we at EXIT Key Real Estate are looking forward to an even BETTER year in 2014, when the past year was pretty darned good! Already, I have three appointments booked for Saturday - the "official" first weekend of Winter, to show property on the lakes, as well as primary homes and farms in the country. WOW! I am really looking at 2014 to be a record-setting one, where slowly the economic recovery may wend its way to Maine.
