Old Man Winter Finally Showed Up! Much Needed Moisture Has Arrived!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Mike McCann - Broker, Mach1 Realty Broker-Auctioneer Serving Nebraska

Well...it took almost the entire winter to get here...but we finally have received a bit of snow.  Probably about 4 to 5 inches so far.

Normally by this time of the winter season, we are around 20 to 30 inches. We are dry in Central Nebraska.  Even this snow will not ease our near drought conditions.

I went out twice late yesterday with  Trusty "Snowblower" in Nebraska you Adapt!my trusty hand held blower...technically a leaf blower but it does work on snow up to about an inch or two if it is dry and powdery.

This is dry and powdery but still has moisture in it which we desperately need!

What is wild about this snow is that the cold that is with it. 

Right now it is +5 degrees and tonight is supposed to be -11.   

Definitely going to get chilly here with only 1 day above freezing in the next week.

This weather is definitely the "cold" kind of cold.  No sun and a bit of wind.

Probably will pass on any fires and drinks on the patio and any meat on the barbecue! 

We are headed back to Aurora, CO next Monday for meetings with Jaime's brain surgeon and his team to plan any future treatment. 

At this point we are being told extremely positive news and we are praying that the optimism from the surgeon is still there next week. 

Hopefully this time next week I can update you with some very positive news! Thank you all who have reached out or said a silent prayer.  It works!

The weather is going to be cold but we hope the roads will be clear!

Until Next Time...stay warm my friends!  m

Hi Mike... springtime flirted with us a bit last week with temps in the 70's. Now they're down to the 40's which is cold for us. And rain isn't helping. Hopefully all your snow does not make it down to Charlotte. Meantime, hoping for all the best with Jaime's check-up next week. Travel safe and don't forget to give us an update.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker We have had an unusual winter this year...both from mother nature and from a family viewpoint.   Jaime is doing well in her rehab and physically is almost normal.  Mentally loud noises and  a room full of voices still are hard for her to handle. 

Dr Ung had said all of this would happen and would go away with time and he is spot on as she is 3 weeks post surgery .  He said 4 to 6 weeks and that is what it appears to be.  We were told that there is very strong possiblity that no further treatment will be necessary except for 1 year of quarterly scans and then 6 month scans. 

We are praying and also pulling out any mulligans we have stored up!!

Hello Mike - Brrrr sums up my feelings about cooler temps and snow.  However, your reply to the comment from Nina Hollander, Broker quickly turned to warmer thoughts with the update on your daughter's recovery.  Here's hoping such important things continue to improve.

Hi Tracy Lee Parker I love snow and I love both winter and summer.  But I dislike snow with super cold temps.  There are "warm" cold days and I really like those.  Sun shining...no wind...38 degrees and it feels like 50.  Need one of those soon so I quit shivering!! Have a great week down in warm Texas!  (I have a sister over in Plano and she has been saying it has been up and down on weather temps there.)

Hi Mike- Larry's daughter is in Omaha and she said ti was a dry snow but very cold! Brrrr, not for me. 

I'm liking the good news about Jaime and the progress she is making. She continues to be in my prayers every night. Be safe and keep us posted.

I hope that there will be a lot of good news when you visit Aurora next week!  Those photos show me that it is way too cold in your neck of the woods for me, haha.
