Valentine's Day Blizzard
Happy Valentine's Day. We're going home to celebrate. Actually we're going home because it's snowing pretty good, we're on the receiving end of a classic nor'easter. Some of our Brokers are popping in for a minute or two but our incredible office staff of Linda Mitkus and Stacey Cole are simply too valuable to risk having them driving home later when the roads get really bad.
Inland the prediction is for 20 to 30 inches of snow but here on the coast of Maine we're only expected to get 6 to 10 inches before it turns over to a nasty sleet and freezing rain. The good news is that the temperature has to go up for that to happen. It's a balmy 16 degrees now and rising!
Truth be told, I kind of like this. I know, I'm all grown up now and snow days are for kids. But hey, nobody's walking in our door and no one is calling so I'm going home. The fire will be roaring, my son is old enough to handle all of the snow shoveling now, my daughter will bake cookies and we'll watch some of those movies that come in the mail that I usually never have time to see. Or, if I'm really lucky, the power will go out (just for a few hours) and we'll light candles and play board games. We'll break out Monopoly and the kids will get to see just what a real estate genius their old man really is! We're staying away from Trivial Pursuit though, the lovely Mrs. Cosgrove is a shark at that game and it's even worse when the kids know more about stuff I lived through than I do!
If you are local and you're reading this please remember to check on your elderly neighbors or anyone else that may need a helping hand if this gets bad.
We'll be back in the office tomorrow I'm sure. Leave a message, send an email and we'll get back to you.
