Speechless Sunday Postponed Due To Snow

Due to the major snowstorm that hit Charlottesville VA last weekend my speechless Sunday post was postponed.  The snowstorm which brought 10-14 inches of snow and ice to the region was accompanied by widespread power outages with over 40,000 households in the Charlottesville area out of power.  I managed to keep my power through the worst of the storm on Friday and Saturday, but lost power for most of Sunday.  Some parts of the area are not predicted to get power back until Wednesday night.  Unfortunately we are forecast to get another 4-8 inches of the white stuff tomorrow.  However I've got to admit it is beautiful!

Waiting For Snowmageddon

Charlottesville Virginia prepares for snowmageddon.December snowfall

This winter Charlottesville VA seems to have been mysteriously moved into the northern tier of states.  We started out the winter with a record setting preChristmas snowfall of 24 inches.  Last weekend we received another foot and Tuesday added a couple more inches. 

Now we are once more awaiting snowmageddon.  The weather predictions are unsure of exactly what format this new storm will assume, but one thing they all agree on is that it will be major.  One scenario has it starting at about 6 am tomorrow morning with mixed precipitation which could result in 1-2 inches of ice before changing over to snow and continuing throughout Saturday with an accumulation of 8 inches of snow on top of the ice.  Another model calls for 2 days of snow with accumulations of 20-30 inches of snow.  What?  This is Virginia where 6-8 inches of snow a winter is normal.

Without a snowflakel falling yet, the area is going crazy!  The governor has decalred a state of emergency.  Many businesses have already closed tomorrow including my real estate office.  In fact my office manager has had the fax machine routed to her computer so that she can email all incoming faxes to the particular agent and we will not have to leave our homes.  This evening there was no parking at the grocery store where I shop.  Cars were driving up and down waiting for a parking place to open up.  There was not a loaf of bread on the shelves.  Every register was open yet lines were all about ten people deep.

Even social media is getting into the act.  The Daily Progress newspaper on line has a twitter poll where we can vote on the hashtag for the snow event.

All the preparations are made at my house so bring on the snow!  If we keep power, I'll post an update tomorrow.

Another Reason To Buy A Charlottesville Virginia Home

There is now another reason to buy a Charlottesville Virginia home.Rotunda at UVA

Those of us who already call Charlottesville home know all about the benefits of living in this Central Virginia city.  We can cite the beautiful countryside nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  There is the fact that the University of Virginia is located in Charlottesville with the resulting cultural offerings and the opportunity to view ACC sports.  Or the ablility to enjoy the many outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing and horseback riding to name a few.  And we enjoy the many excellent restaurants.

Now we have the fact that Virginia ia the number one state for business to add to the list.  According to CNBC news Virginia has taken over the top spot for 2009 from Texas.  This score is reached by comparing all of the states in 10 different areas such as education, business friendliness, work force and economy.  

Now not only do you have another great reason for buying a Charlottesville Virginia home but you also have a good reason to relocate your business to Charlottesville as well.

Come home to Virginia!
