Charlotte Snowmageddon 2018 - That's All You've Got?

I didn't want to go to bed last night - the snow was falling (in relatively large quantity)! We could hardly wait to open the blinds this morning to see what Mother Nature left us while we slept - it was much like Christmas Eve to us!

 

My first comment was, "That's all you've got for us? What?" All of the hype about 4-6 inches, then a foot, then 2-4 inches of snow that we would be getting overnight...prepare, prepare, prepare? Well, we prepared and this morning, instead, we woke up to cold and wet! What is so surprising is that the Charlotte Observer (newspaper) delivery had still not happened at this writing (9:30AM). I'm okay with that - I get my news online but, I think Ray is more disappointed about no paper than no snow! LOL

 

Happy Snowless Sunday!

Good morning Debe.  There's just enough for a couple of good snowballs to make and throw.

Not quite a winter wonderland. How about the mountain areas?

Not even that, Gabe Sanders - it's wet and icky! I'm so bummed - we were certainly expecting to find glorious, DEEP snow this morning! LOL

No, you're so right - no wonderland here, Lottie Kendall! Yes, the mountain areas have been getting it all week and the ski resorts are doing well right now.

Debe,

Weather forecasting is one of the safe professions, where you do not lose your job if you are wrong..LOL.  We have friends in the Carolina mountains who were hoping for snow.  A

Our ski resorts in the Sierras are off to a great start, too, Debe. Every year at this time I wish I hadn't given away my skis. The thrill!

Yes, they've been getting it all week, Ron and Alexandra Seigel! We have relatives there and they are spending their weekend on the slopes!

Debe, the news had LOTS of snow predicted for Charlotte, and was expecting more too.   That looks like SKIFF to me.    Maybe that is better!

Wow Debe, You and Ray must of been disappointed.  Now you have no excuse to go out and show homes and miss the game!   HoHoHo!

Hopefully, the storm will be south of our area. 

Take care if you must be out and about.

My entire family are avid snow skiers and golfers - I've never done either, Lottie Kendall! Now, I can and do water ski and can knock out a slalom course easily but, we never lived in the mountains and always spent our vacations in coastal areas!

You bet, Will Hamm! Instead, we have ice and freezing sleet falling! It's a great day to stay in by the fire!

I had buyers who cancelled our showings for today, yesterday, thinking it was going to be snowing. I phoned them this morning to see if they still wanted to go and they said they loved a home they saw yesterday so, we may be putting in an Offer today instead...and watching our Panthers!

Good luck to your Broncos, Will!

I made an Offer to take someone out who canceled due to the weather but, they loved one they saw yesterday. So, we may be submitting an Offer instead of going out today, Roy Kelley! I'm happy to submit an Offer while sitting by the fire!

Hi Debe,  It's hard when you're preparing for a nice snow cover and don't get it.  I'd be a bit disappointed - though there is a bit of winter left to get some more snow.

You're dissappointed?  I remember waking up to that blanket of fresh snow covering everything - and yes it can be breathtaking.  In fact I had a dream last night something like that.  So glad it was just a dream!
