We have scheduled the home inspection and the appraiser to come this weekend. And what is it that Murphy scheduled for us?
Yep, a way early snow storm for our area. The weather guru's are predicting 3 to 6 inches of the white stuff, maybe even more. I get nervous when they use words like "Historic" to describe the storm. Of course, my snow blower is packed away in the storage unit we've rented to temporarily hold our stuff that is going to our kids. Fortunately I still have two snow shovels in the garage.
I spent the day double checking things in advance of the house inspection, went over all the smoke and CO detectors, changed some bulbs and wrestled with the ice maker in the kitchen refrigerator. Murphy got ahold of that, too with his "magic" touch. A new one has to be ordered, nobody has one locally.
I took a break and visited a nearby campground, not our favorite, but one nearby that doesn't have a 14 day maximum stay restriction. It is no cheaper than our favorite campground at Bull Run Regional Park, so Bull Run will be where we'll stay starting around 15 November. We're trying to get the estate sale completed before the Thanksgiving holiday.
So the fun begins. Now, where are the snow tires?
Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave a comment.
I just heard about your storm on the news. Sounds like it's a good time to get out of Dodge. However, you can't but you must admit that at least this snow will be long gone by the time you start heading west in your Journey. So, Murphy might have done you a favor by showing up now instead of waiting a month.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I can certainly tell you that we are NOT looking forward to coming home to this early arrival of winter :(
ReplyDeletemaybe it will just be a short lived freak storm and the sun will come back out and the grass will turn green again?..doesn't Murphy know that you have no time for shovelling??
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that's a lot of snow. Let's hope is goes away quickly.
ReplyDeleteWell doesn't Murphy have a great sense of humor;o))
ReplyDeleteJust remember, snow melts but your back doesn't. Be careful with those snow shovels. We don't want you down for the count right now!!
Wow. That's certainly a lot of snow. I hope it doesn't mess your plans up too much.
ReplyDeleteThat sure is early for snow, but maybe it will make the the two surveyors to move fast!
ReplyDeleteOh that looks cold and miserable. I am so glad we are at Dog Pound South already. That is what our winters at home look like. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteTake care

Definitely don't need a snowstorm right now but hopefully it will be fast moving and melting. And everything else will go smoothly and you'll be headed west before you know it.
ReplyDeleteWe heard about that potential snow of yours on the news last night. Luckily, it's early in the season so it should melt quickly. If you're really lucky, it'll hit north of you :)
ReplyDeleteLooking on the bright side, it should cover up all those leaves you've been worried about! :)
ReplyDeleteSnow before Halloween??? Ewww that's waaaayyyy too early! Hopefully it'll melt SOON!!
ReplyDeleteI'm west of you in the foothills and am counting on those weather guys tendency to toally exaggerate how bad anything is or is going to be.
ReplyDeleteBut maybe your inspectors are in on it since they didn't want to work on Sunday?
Worst is supposed to be west of I95. Is that you? NoVa weather on weather.com says no "significant accumulation" and 47 for tomorrow. So don't give Murphy credit quite yet!
Our rain here yesterday is your snow today. sorry about that! doesn't this weather make you want to hit the road right now! and i didn't bring a warn coat to tennesee!
ReplyDeleteSo THAT is what you get when you complain about a few little leaves????? ACK~!
