A Blizzard - Bombogenesis - Winter Hurricane and Coastal Flooding

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

You would not believe it. What is worse than the Polar Vortex? The answer in the Manchester NH area is this blizzard followed by the deep freezes return. We have near a foot in my yard as I type this at 6pm. The wind is howling with blizzard conditions. The seacoast has massive flooding with astronomical high tides accompanied by the storm surge. All the water is staying put and expected to freeze solid. Rescues under way now.  

 

Believe it or not I was out showing homes this morning and setting up appointments. We haven't seen the plow since earlier today. I did manage to get a Large Iced Coffee at Dunks to tide me over. As the storm moves away tonight the winds are going to crank up to 50mph into Friday. The high temp. will be 11 Friday and that will be the temp at midnight tonight.

 

HOW DID I SURVIVE? Well first off I am very grateful for my purchase of the Telescoping Snow Broom with Ice Scraper.  No kidding there was like 4 feet of snow mounded on my car.

 

It is probably a good think I got a new Snow Shovel, as my favorite one broke. The snow blower finally started after i was nearly done doing it by hand.

 

Stay tuned for some pictures. The road to the beach was closed after a few not so smart drivers got stuck in 3 feet of water and stalled. This pic was from the blizzard of 2015. Lets see if we can top it. 

 

I leave you with my infamous reminder that there is a difference from agent to agent.  That a Buyer or Seller should not choose just any agent, choose the BEST agent for the job. My philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other.

Morning Scott.

The snow has went around us thankfully.  Our high yesterday was 33, a nice break from the frigid temps we've experienced.

Good morning, Scott Godzyk this reminds me of the blizzard of '78... I shoveled for 2 straight hours last night and finished my driveway...I'm going to shovel my way through a 4' snow drift to access my walkway..... deep freeze this afternoon so I need to get this done this morning....it's a great workout.... all of my children are upset with me that I want the exercise... and would not let my son, Michael, take care of it.

Hi Scott Godzyk - I know how this weather gets under your skin. I feel very badly for you and those that have to go through it. Cabin fever comes ot mind.  You definitely do not want to know the temps in Sedona AZ. But the weather is why I live here. I hope the sun comes out soon and temps get above freezing to thaw you out and melt the snow.

I have to show homes when a buyer wants to see them. It was her day off and she is "ready" she said. After all that she loved one home, but wants to see when its "not snowing."  I banged my head and went home to keep warm Kathy Streib

Good morning Scott. We don't have the ocean but mountains have their own thing. It is frigid here too and had a foot of snow yesterday. Be safe.
